I know with the rumor that the 2009 5.7 R/T will have VCT and 380 hp, many are now reconsidering buying the 6.1 SRT. (The SRT is also more expensive, has the $2,100 gas guzzler tax, and may be more to insure).

So, I was just wondering...

How much slower will the 5.7 be in the 1/4 mile?[sm=interesting.gif]

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. @105.40 mph

A difference of .5 sec. and 4 mph

Question- Does this sway any one on the fence?
