Default RE: Is the SRT8 worth 11K more than the R/T?


ORIGINAL: BootCamp

You gents are forgetting all of the other "bonuses" with the SRT8, not just the 6.1L.
Add in better steering, suspension, the Brembo brakes, more "standard equipment" (upgrades over the R/T)...
The list of differences is quite long. I thought about getting an R/T and modding it. But by the time I,m done just trying to get it equal to the SRT8, I,d have spent more money on just the suspension and appearance.
Did anyone also consider resale value in say 35 or so years? The SRT is today,s R/T of 35 years ago. That was the clincher for me.
If its gonna be my last new car, its gonna be the top dog in the kennel.
Pretty much sums it up for me too...
