Don't forget the R/T has a mean sounding "custom" exhaust.

Isnt there a gearing difference between the 2 models? if so you would want the taller gear to run the more aggresive/bigger Nitto's I would think.

R/T is the sharpest of them all, PERIOD. I almost got the citadel, but the looks of the R/T , lower suspension and modeling etc, is far sportier looking. Just rememeber to get the best deal possible, as if you turn into the crazier modder like 99% of the guys on here, you will need the extra spondoolies, mulah, cash, beans etc etc as Im begining to think there is some on here spend more time modding their truck than actually driving it?

Is the ride on the R/T much harsher?

I wish I had 2 '13's to answer that question. I expected the R/T ride to be a bit harsh, but it is actually less harsh than my wife's '06 Infiniti M35 Sport. Prior to buying the R/T, I test drove a '13 SXT. Remembering back, at that point I was comparing it to my '08 RAV4. The SXT felt heavier of course and rode better. If you get a Hemi in the other models, I think you get 20" wheels automatically. It would be my guess that they contribute more to ride harshness than any other component.

Is there a way to get black body molding on the R/T? I think it has a more aggressive look if its in black versus the same color as the car.
