Hey again,
So I decided to go with the Challenger R/T (automatic) after hearing feedback on my last thread. Now, I was hoping someone could help me with a couple questions about the R/T and the R/T Classic since I have found 2 cars that I am interested in potentially buying. The issue I'm having is that I'm buying it at auction and it's not clear which features each one has standard and which are part of separate packages.
I read the sticky thread at the top, the owner's manual, the Dodge website, and even watched some youtube videos, but I can't seem to find a clear answer on some of this stuff and some of the things I'm finding seems to contradict each other.
Here are my questions:
1) Other than the appearance, are there any performance or sound differences in the R/T Classic vs. the R/T? I test drove a RT Classic a while back and it almost sounded a little quieter, but it's a vague memory so I can't remember.
2) Do all R/T and R/T classic automatic transmissions in 2013 have 'Sport mode'?
3) Do they both also have the performance readings and 0-60 times on the dash? I can't tell if it's an option that's part of the electronic convenience package, or if it's part of another package, or it's just standard. If it wasn't standard, how would I know if the car had it?
4) Does the EVIC show all this stuff and if it does, is that standard?
5) Are there any additional packages / options that the R/T Classic has that the R/T doesn't?
EDIT: 6) Are there any relatively cheap ways to make the car sound a little deeper and louder without being excessive? I don't want anything too loud or crazy, but I love that muscle-car grumble sound when I hit the gas.
And lastly, are there any cool and noticeable differences with the R/T Classic and the R/T? I care more about the performance and sound of the engine/exhaust than the options, but the options are still a consideration.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance,
-Mike
