As for times, mine were numbers I make up but have no reference for. Never said the R/T was going to be quicker, just that the SS will be significantly faster than R/T performance for less than SRT money.

There, fixed it for you.
Now let's take a closer look at Charger SRT8 performance.
C&D: 0-60 in 4.2, 12.6 1/4mile at 115mph, 4305lbs
MotorTrend: 0-60 in 4.4, 12.8 1/4mile at 112mph, 4271lbs
Edmunds: 0-60 in 4.6, 12.8 1/4mile at 110mph, 4371lbs
MotorWeek: 0-60 in 4.9, 12.9 1/4mile at 110mph
This gives us an average of 0-60 in 4.5, 12.8 1/4mile at 112mph for the 392 SRT8. Very respectable for a car weighing 4,350lbs
So let me put it all together for you.
R/T: 0-60 in 5.3, 13.8 1/4mile at 103mph, $36,495 (R/T Max)
GXP: 0-60 in 4.7, 13.1 1/4mile at 109mph, $44,000 (proxy for SS)
SRT8: 0-60 in 4.5, 12.8 1/4mile at 112mph $46,250
The GXP (and one can assume the SS) is
much closer to the SRT8 in performance than the R/T and it cost
less than a similarly equipped SRT8. You're going to have to realize many people just don't like the look/size/lackluster handling and rental car interior of the SRT8. The 300 is more classy perhaps, but starts at $49,250.
