Default RE: R/T vs GT vs GTO

I'm not biased at all. If I had my druthers I would have an R/T in the garage along with the Ford. Personally I think the R/T has the Ford on the looks department. Though I don't think it's night/day better. But it has the edge. As far as top speed - no argument there either. The larger engine usually wins there.

The 1/4 mile tests showed the R/T getting a 13.6. That is not any better than the GT can do in stock form. Again, no argument on top speed.

There will be less Challengers on the road sure. But it is hardly an exclusive club with 30K a year being produced. Leastways not IMO. I think we both have the same understanding in this area but are choosing to express it a little differently. No problem.

As far as the bias goes I'm not sure that you really fall into the category of fanboy to the extent some people here do. Honestly, some of our resident posters are very realistic and reasonable. Others not so much. Legends in their own minds. They have an SRT8 and think they are practically unbeatable. Everything else is "junk". I think that attitude is retarded. Makes me wonder what people like that do when they get their doors blown off by a modded 4cyl turbo japanese car? Six months worth of therapy?
