First of all, please refrain from using vulgar internet slang, we do not tolerate vulgar language on here. Secondly, yes this has been discussed in a few threads, it looks as though the hood scoops will have the same role as the ones on the other SRT-8 models of merely cooling the engine, but not providing a ram-air effect.

I'm confused on what you are saying but I think I have a clue what your thinking. The R/T model has not been released yet, the Concept Challenger was listed as an R/T while having the 6.1L, a manual, a functional scoop, and I believe the carbon fiber hood. The Concept Challenger R/T will not be sold in the dealerships, the R/T version the dealerships will have will feature a 5.7L VCT Hemi engine and will probably have non-functional scoops (if any) and a metal hood. Carbon Fiber is expensive, so I have trouble believing that they would not offer that on the top of the line model, but on the second level from the top. I would hardly call the Challenger "a bunch of junk." I will agree that there are some things that are disappointing as I would have preferred several things from the concept car, but I can either be stubborned about it and say I won't buy it after two years of dreaming of the car, or I can overlook these issues, realize that most cars from concept to production change a lot, and count my blessings that they kept as much of it correct as they did.

Also what do you mean by "pay all the extra cash for an srt that isn't really an srt?" What part of this does not fit your criteria as an srt?
