1. Price - they're very expensive for the performance you get. The research I did showed a mildly modified R/T had more power and a brake upgrade would get you the stopping performance as well. This can all be done for WAY less than an SRT-8.

2. There was no employee pricing on the SRT-8 making it about $10,000 more than the R/T I picked up.

3. There is no lifetime powertrain warranty on the SRT-8.

4. Insurance was quite a bit more for the SRT-8.

So I'd say really do your research and choose wisely. Stock dyno numbers show the SRT-8 to only have about a 30HP advantage over the R/T and the SRT-8 is heavier to boot.


The attention is kind of funny I gotta say.

Thats what I been saying, this is the same reason I'm getting an R/T
