What is the expected cost of the two cars, just base prices not loaded....I know the stealerships are nailing some on the SRT....Would appeciate your input...Oh, it will be black, is there any other color?

Might as well get the SRT if you can afford it. They're only about $6K more than a similarly equipped RT, and the resale value will get you that much back again one of these days. The SRT is a nice package to have and I don't think you'll regret it.

my preference would be the RT F because its lighter, cheaper, not too far away from the 6.1 with its 5.7, and has a cloth interior option (i never liked leather car seats)
2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 4.7 13.0 (R&T July '08)
2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 4.8 13.2 (C&D Dec '07)
2009 Dodge Challenger R/T 5.5 14.1 (Edmunds)
Fort Meyers, just a short drive from Sebring, have a home there in winter...Thanks for the post, trying to get out and drive both, cannot find a dealer with any to drive!! But, that does give me some data...Thanks again
By the time I would be done optioning out a R/T it would be upper 30s, so SRT if I bought one. There is more to the SRT over the R/T than the few HP and CID. Although I would say the decision would be easier if they could bump the HP to 450ish or put the 6.4 in it.
i am sorry to disagree with most of you on this but after testing both the SRT and the RT the RT is a way better choice for one unless you are going to put it on a track the brake upgrade does nothing for the average person. i have the same suspension in my RT as the SRT plus most of us change out our tires to a better performance tire so theres no issue there there is a issus of the horsepower, top end, and quarter mile. with just a few up grades you will be pushing more horses than the SRT and out running them with ease. I have raced many and so far no stock SRT can keep up. so far i have added full exhaust, cold air intake, and programer. planning on adding super charger with will put the rear wheel power to well over 650 but need to do some upgrades to transmission first. as far as top end 200 mph is plenty fast enought Ive been in mine 178-180 still in 4th running around 5000 rpm Quarter time at a track ran 12.9 and horser power is around 410 at the wheels. and have just put less then 1000 dollars for all my upgrades so the choice is up to you but dont let the numbers on the SRT fool you they are topoed out numbers that you cant do a whole lot with. but again thats my thoughts.
SRT or RT ?????????
