I'm also guessing that an upgraded model will be released later that would be a more direct competitor to the SRT8.

It's not blind allegiance. I just think a lot of people will be surprised by its performance when they see it at the track for the first time, that's all.
I disagree. Considering this is basically a G8 GXP that cost 40k 4-5 years ago this will definatly be competintor to the 42k SRT8 and NOT the 30k Charger R/T. It is a limited production of 5k-10k units, like the SRT, not the R/T, it is a flagship performance sedan, like the SRT and not the R/T. What it really compares to is one thing. GMs lack of bringing enough to the table is another.............
