Then there is the red herring in the room, the SUperbee, which gives better than SRT performance for 43k with the GG tax. You get an R/T with the performance ROad and track package and Super track pack (better tires, gears, brakes, 2 mode sport setting) and the nav package which stickers at just over 35k, and it will be WAY closer to the SS in perfromance than you may think. You could also get the Daytona package with STP/Nav for 1000 less.

Everything you've said proves my point. The SS IS priced between the R/T and the SRT. The SRT8 gets slapped with the GG tax too.
Charger R/T Max: 370HP/395lb-ft, 4,250lb, $36,495
Chevrolet SS: 415HP/415lb-ft, 4,000lb, $44,000
Charger SRT8: 470HP/470lb-ft, 4,365lb, $46,250
The Super Bee is a stripped-out car. Tacky cloth seats, no infotainment, no comparison to the SS. Not to mention the Charger's status as the ubiquitous fleet and rental car.

As for performance the R/T couldn't beat the
G8 GT and the 370 SRT8 couldn't beat the
G8 GXP. Sure the extra displacement of the 392 will ameliorate that in a straight line but there is nothing about the Charger's track performance that tells me the SS won't be close. Rather than saying "they're not going to be close", why don't you provide some references to support your malformed conclusion? You keep bringing up a police fleet car as if it's relevant to the conversation.

And your marketing degree is from where? I thought so. Why don't you leave the marketing and sales to the experts.
