ive driven both, an 09 6sp r/t and i own an 08srt8, hands down the srt8 is quicker! ucan feel the acceleration and torque in the srt. the r/t though decent has not the same sensation. mine is completly stock at this point. vynle
I agree the SRT should be quicker. But you get a goon behind the wheel of the SRT and a good driver behind the wheel of the RT...it will be a race. Then throw in the 6 speed factor and an inexperience driver, it could get ugly in either car.
I have seen where a few SRT's have ran in the high 12's, and on another board an RT owner has ran 13.2 stock. So my 13.12 is not abnormal. I also have driven both when deciding which to purchase....and me being strictly a quarter mile guy, I could not justify the $8K difference between my RT and the SRT I drove.
My only point is...the gap in straight line performance is not that great. Granted the SRT has alot of other nice features, it all boils down to what you are looking for. Both are great cars!!
