The
R/T with its no GG Tax (Gaz Guzzler) and its projected HPs of at least 380HP which is assured (some say even more 385-390) seems very attractive when you consider its potentialy relatively close numbers compared with the SRT8 according to ALLPAR forum member :
How much slower will the 5.7 R/T be in the 1/4 mile?
Using an on-line drag race calculator, I came up with these approximations:
6.1 SRT= 12.45 sec. @ 109.47 mph
5.7 R/T= 12.90 sec. [at]105.40 mph
A difference of .5 sec. and 4 mph
Question- Does this sway any one on the fence who was thinking of buying the SRT in 2009?

Seeing these numbers , reinforces my desire a lot for the R/T , especially with gaz prices continually rising !
Now some rumors floating around that the
'09 R/T 5.7 is to be priced at MSRP $32,500 . What do you think , is this acceptable - knowing what we all know about the
R/T so far ?
