5.0 vs. '11 R/T

Has anyone test drove a '11 Challenger R/T Plus. They really tweaked the suspension and the Track Pack has really added better handling on this car. Seems to quicker also. Really was a surprise.

5.0 Vs '11 SRT

Fixed

The R/T still has A LOT of catching up to do when in comes to the Mustang. Sucker still weighs about 400 pounds more then the Mustang, not to mention only about 376Hp.

I'm not sure the new SRT8 is really even a comparison to the GT...it is pricewise closest to a GT500 now.

Price-wise, yeah, the SRT8 is in-line with the Challenger SRT8; in terms of performance, though, it's competition for the 5.0L. I don't see the Challenger being any sort of real competition, though, until it loses, oh, some 500 pounds.
