RE: Is the SRT8 worth 11K more than the R/T?
I ordered the SRT because I love muscle cars and thats the best Dodge offers - factory warranteed - right now. Im much older now and while I have a nice tool box stuffed with Craftsman tools, I really dont want bloody knuckles from working on a restored E-body or a modded R/T just to improve performance and keep it a daily driver.
Get whatever meets your needs and wants. Cant go wrong either way.
