But you missed out on the nice seats...
... and a lot of other SRT features.
not if your into customizing and making youre car unique while doing so.

ok maybe this will help.
How about if you do not want the wheels on the challenger?, the srt has more expensive wheels, rt cheaper.
how about if you like a certain suspension company?, the srt8 suspension is more expensive than the rts.
how about if you want to upgrade your seats with custom katzkin? srt already comes with leather and priced into the car, rt is optional.

you catch my drift? If you like the package that dodge has made for the consumer than the srt8 moneywise is the way to go, If you are going to be upgrading everything from suspension to wheels too leather ect; RT for me is the way to go. Unless you don't really care about the bargain. If that is the case it is fine to go with the srt8 since you get the 6.1 with a few more ponies and more cubes.

you get me now mopar?

Nice seats?? A lot of fellas on here like the R/T seats better....
Wasn't this thread brought up to talk about the hp issue???
Yeah I know you can't compare the two, solely on hp alone... but you can try right??
Hey I agree with you catagoryV... But im more on the same road as DakotaR/T...
My rant was from the point of view that somebody would take an R/T without the bells and whistles... maybe even a year old or almost two... One that isn't too worried about the warranty and mod it out...
I wouldn't buy a brand new R/T and mod it out... that would be kinda self-defeating.. but we can all agree it can and will be done...
Im talking about takeing a killer shell of an auto already slighltly depreciated buy just being off the dealer lot... and taking it to the bank... You would still save coin and have a serious contender on the street... For anybody not just SRT guy's LS2 guy's would have to brake check themselves[]. That's kinda where im coming from I don't have the loot to foot for an SRT right now, maybe in a couple years yeah for sure... but I might not find the SRT I want in couple years... (I mean there collector's items right) LOL... I don't know time will tell though... and the 5.7 has tons of mods already... Im sure though with the Challenger added to the SRT line-up were going to see a lot more after-market stuff for the SRT cars too though...

No, just $31.95. One way to dress up an SE. Personally, I prefer old-school R/T insignia.
