The RT package on the gen 3 is all cosmetic, nothing special about them mechanically. I would wait for the 08s, should start seeing them by August.

RE: Gen 3 R/T's?
No that's what people with one would deny 
I'm not saying that if it's not mine it's a joke. But you can't really call it an R/T (Road and Track) when nothing on it makes it any more worthy at the track.Stickers don't add handling orpower. At least the Gen II's had larger sway bars, 1" lower suspension, tuned exhaust, posi rear, and advanced timing. And it was the only way to get a 360 in a regular or extended cab. Could they have done better? Hell yes. I even think my style R/T was kind of a joke. There are plenty of Mopar off the shelf parts they could ahve thrown on it and made it great. SO I guess I was expecting them to do something like that with the Gen 3's, but they did even less. Sorry if I offended you. I was just really disapointed when they came out with the new R/T. I'm glad you're happy with it.

I mean, for crying out loud, they have the same wheels as mine.

RE: Gen 3 R/T's?
I may be wrong here, but arnt the R/Ts set up to run 200 at the wheels? I havent checked it out, but I thought thats what I heard at the dealership. I drove 2, and they are deff. faster than my Q.C 4.7l was stock. I think I would get one now though. I pull a lot harder than I did befor. (but if they do put 200 to the wheels, then maybe it just needs to be broke in...)

I'm talking about the styling. Big difference between the Gen 2's and the R/T's. Different motor and different wheels, different heighth, etc. That's why I'm disappointed in the R/T's for our Gen. Not that I don't like them. I'd buy one, or would have if they had come out at the same time as my truck.
