The 2010 Sport does include the body color grille with billet inserts. Apparently not every one built actually has it, but they are supposed to. I believe you can also get the Sport Performance Hood (aka Challenger hood) as a factory option on the Sport too. Doesn't leave much exclusive to the R/T except the badge, huh? Maybe I should get one of those for my Sport?? :-)
Sure there is.... RC 2WD with the sport appearance is exclusive to the R/T I would have bought one if I lived further south. That is why I went back to a truck, got tired of RWD in snow.

...I thought that maybe dodge would of put the 6.1L Hemi into the R/T but they didnt even do that..
The SRT-8 6.1 motor puts out 425 HP, the 5.7 Hemi in our trucks puts out 390 HP. Probably with a good custom tune to get rid of the torque control management and a few other tweaks you could probably get 425 hp or even more.
But as soon as you touch the computer Dodge will cancel your warranty faster than you can say "Thats BS!"
Anyway, back to the R/T's hardware. I'm not so sure about the R/T's "loose" torque converter. A few months ago I went looking for one to install in my Sport. I talked with two parts guys locally and the folks at mopardiscountparts.com to try and find a part number for the R/T's torque converter. All they could find is a single torque converter listed for the RAMs. While I don't completely trust the local guy's ability to find odd stuff like that, the mopardiscountparts guys have found everything else I've ever asked them about. So, I'm not so sure the R/T's converter is a hardware difference, but just a different set of management programming in the truck's computer.
There is a guy on DT(I think he's on here too, can't remember his screen name) with a 4x4 rcsb and he swapped his stock converter out for a R/T converter and said that it's absolutely different. I don't think it's a huge stall, but it feels like about 2600.

I read this all the time, and it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I took my stock LS1 powered Z28 from 13s to 11s without touching the engine. The two biggest changes I made were taller gears and a torque converter.

man you really need to install a magnaflow 14" muffler on that thing... if you really need someone to weld it, i could probably help you out......
i thought a mercedes was driving by that things so quiet..
I kinda like it, it sneaks up on people! Although honestly that vid doesn't do it justice. It's got a decent bark when you get on it, I've had a few friends mention it sounds nice for a stock truck.

When I do something, I'll pry go true duals.
Two words, Open Headers. Just kidding. I like them loud, but not that loud.
Any chance your friend has the part number for that torque converter still? I'm still interested in doing the swap now that I've found a good shop.
