Default RE: R/T WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Actually, I read Racing Technology on the internet somewhere, did not claim it to be fact.....guess you only get to post things if your an expert? And I'm not German.

Acronym Definition

R/T Radio Telephone
R/T Real Time
R/T Receive/Transmit
R/T Receiver/Transmitter
R/T Record of Trial
R/T Reprocurement Technician
R/T Research & Technology
R/T Road & Track
R/T Round-Trip (travel booking)

And I add Racing Technology...so there.

And SXT? SXT stands for "Soft X-Ray Transient" which means that the black hole candidate orbits around a visible star which is at most about as heavy as the Sun and that the whole system occasionally emits soft X-rays.

Maybe I should have bought one of those.........Earth to FlatEric.....

"SXT" is the model code for a package that is offered on several DCX products. It is not an acronym for anything in particular.

It started with the original Trans Am Road Racing series.....all American pony cars only. R/T = road and track. I think just in the name of nostalgia, they called the hot rod Magnum ...RT.... just to use a recognizable name.....just like Hemi.

All that aside, does Dodge still stock/sell the 60's style R?T badges? The chrome units are OK, but a little color would be nice on a Midnight Blue Magnum R/T.

I thought it meant "Road and Track also. But I did read somewhere that a DCX engineer said it was Race Technology. You can buy a Charger R/T with an "R/T" option. (ten more horses, stiffer springs, basicly a Daytona package without the orange paint). So I guess it would be an R/T Charger with a R/T option package. Kind of redundant, you think?

when they introduced the R/T options, it was road and track...who knows what they have evolved it into now...
