The build numbers for SRT and SP cars are less than 10k a year. That's less than 2 months of current sales of the Challenger. That's how small a % of sales these "above RT" models contribute too. The T/A will be no different because it costs more. And if the people don't care about track performance, they wouldn't care for the 6 pots and wider wheels. They'll buy an RT or SXT, hell even Scat Pack for cheaper.
They like that stuff for the look as much as the performance. I see the value in those cars. If you are not a Mopar fan, you will not get it, and there is nothing wrong with that. I would buy one of those over a stanard SS gen6 in a heartbeat. Way more coolness factor there for me.
You have to buy the ZL1 to equal the coolness factor of a 6.4l T/A challenger. Coolness is something you can't put on a graph or apply a number.
