If the R/T is running consistant 13.1-13.3s, what does the SRT run?

We all know it's no 12 second car, and if the R/T is a low 13 second car....

Hence why it is imparitive to get the 6.4 in the SRT The 5.7 seems to be putting out closer to 400 HP than 375 and it is lighter than the SRT.

I guess us gen 5 owners can't say much then. Our scoop is fake also. GM is notorius for this. Our flag ship ZR1 & Z06 are sporting fake scoops also and the ones that did actually work (WS6 & gen 4 Camaro) were pretty worthless.

I understand why Dodge did it. Spruce up the retro ride with some fresh retro looks to boost sales a bit. No harm, no foul. The real Mopar guys will be all over this. I really don't care, I am buying a Camaro, not a Chally.

Agreed. Let them have their fun. If they want to spend 2k more on an already-overpriced car, then let them.

Love this car, someday Ill add one to my fleet. Weak point is the interior of course-really hate the cliche double din-looking stereo, and the 3 knob setup for the hvac controls. Lame.

I'll take my wife's 2010 Mustang GT and take any comparable R/T on...auto or manual.

More Internet racing FTW!

Eh..if the T/A hood was functional I might..its a fiberglass hood, not that heavy to begin with.

I'll keep my stock hood with its functional scoops over this.

The spoiler is good looking, but fairly common, and I dig the T-handle. I could see some enterprising a/m company making a version of this that is functional. I'd buy one of those..but not this.

Lets not turn this into another internet racing argument where each side argues into eternity and gets nowhere!
