Re: What to do?
As I stated before, I was on the fence about buying a 2009 SRT or R/T. Besides all of the reasons that I previously stated to buy an R/T over an SRT (370 hp., no gas guzzler tax, Hemi-Orange color, retro seats, Classic edition, etc.), here is the clincher for me:
With a $10,000 down payment, the monthly payment for the R/T will be $474 and the SRT $638 (over 60 months), based on the base cost of an R/T Charger ($31,455) and SRT Charger ($39,155)-Challenger pricing should be similar. Edmunds has a great financing calculator. See for yourself at: Auto loan calculator at Edmunds

Re: What to do?
It will be interesting to see the road tests of the 2009 SRT and R/T. Dodge is saying that the SRT will do 0-60 mph under 5 seconds and the R/T will do it in under 6 seconds.
Just for fun, I put in the horsepower and weights of these two models (the R/T weighs 130 lbs. less) in an on-line 1/4 calculator and came up with these approximations: 12.4 sec. for the SRT and 12.8 sec. for the R/T. Since I will not be racing it, I think that the R/T makes more sense for me. If I was serious about having one of the baddest engines on the street, I would wait for the 6.4 in 2010.
