Default RE: Drove an auto black R/T today! Dissappointed at lack of power.

I was not really complaining (ok, maybe I was a little) but I wanted a full loaded 6-speed R/T.

Kinda like the 383 mopars in the 60's. there were they 6's and 318's, then came the nice small block 340's and 383's.

Next in line were the 440's and hemis.

I had a 318 in my 67 charger and it was a great cruiser with some mods (exhaust, intake, 4 barrel carb and 3.55 gears instead of the 2.94 gears it came with).

I next threw in a 440 and talk about a word of difference!!

I was just hoping for a little more power.

to be honest, my 04 ram 4 door pickup with the hemi and auto is faster IMO. Yes the ram has the 3.92 gears so hopefully the R/T with the 3.92 gears and 6 speed with feel like my ram and if it does, I am happy.

As for the vette, I test drove an 08 vette a few weeks back with the 436 hp and duall mode exhaust with the 6 speed. Very fast and smooth but not as smooth as the R/T!!

I wanted a fully R/T and that is what I ordered.

i honestly believe the extra 50 horse in the SRT vs R/T is not worth the $10k increase in price. Just my $.02!

sorry to piss off anybody but just wanted to give my honest opinion on the auto R/T. I am sure most people in the general public will love the power it has now stock, but there is not the 10% of us that I beleive were expecting more.

Over and out!!!
