IMHO its not whether you scrimp on the cash for buying the car as in an RT and then spend a bundle to get it up to or beyond SRT level or you spend the cash and go straight to the SRT and then spend a bundle making it a vastly SUPER car. Its all a matter of personal preference. Personally I am going for an SRT so that I will have the best options for that particular car. Then at Xmas and B-days etc. I will have a nice shooping list for Santa, Easter Bunny etc. of items to buy for it. Yes it is more money that way but as I have stated before in posts, I am going to have this car until I go to the Happy Drag Strip in the sky and it will be where I put all of my mad money.
