Of course, that is for a base R/T and not a road and track model which gets different gears and so on.
You can get a great deal on them so if you have to have a new car go for the Charger but be prepared to get zilch on trade in. That is the perils of a car that has a 60-70% fleet rate.
I was looking at buying a 2012 R/T before I bought the GTO so Im not just shooting from the hip. I passed on the Charger because of the above things. I still like the way they look in certain colors but it just wasnt the sporty feeling car for me.
Now, if you are talking about the V6/8speed its a different story. Charger all the way. Charger V6>G8 V6. G8 GT>Charger R/T

Whoa, your facts, particularly about the fleet sales, are totally off......
