Yeah a lot of new cars, whether its dodge or any other company like to call a vehicle special edition or like an r/t and just throw some badges on it and a bigger exhaust tip. Like the new dakota r/t which is the same as any other with some extra stickers. The 2nd gen r/t had the biggest motor, better suspension, nicer wheels, the way a special edition or an r/t should be.

The 3rd gen R/T at least came with the 4.7HO but they should have done a lot more. I've always been of the opinion that the R/T for our gen should have had a Hemi. On the new 3.5 gens they all use the same 4.7.
