RE: SRT v. RT
I feel the same way. The RT is still a great model and I would consider buying one.
However, if I can get an SRT for a reasonable cost, I will go that route. Some owners of Charger SRTs have reported that they were able to buy their cars for only $3,000 over the cost of an RT with the Road and Track package. It will pay to shop around and even buy out-of-state from dealers who specialize in SRTs.
Time will tell as to the demand of this car and what the dealers will be asking. I intend to watch the prices and dealer inventories of the 2008 Challengers closely and use this knowlege to buy in 2009 (when the 6.4 should be offered as an SRT engine).
