purchases/manufacturing (i.e. direct variable costs) but the Challenger, presumably, shares alot of parts with alot of other Chrysler vehicles given the platform sharing already in effect ergo reduced effect (Read: SRT 8 300M, SRT 8 Charger, SRT 8 Grant Cherokee).
The R/T is comparable to the 1SS in price but not in performance. It gets left behind.

The R/T Auto and the L99 auto are very, very similar in terms of numbers (within a tenth, maybe a 1.5 tenths in the 1/4 and often dead even in a 0-60 run).
Now I can post all day and it likely wouldnt matter to the fanboys on any site. All I can say is that I've run against two Camaro's, a L99 and LS3, and have beaten both, the LS3 by almost two tenths (driver mod). A win is a win.
The Challenger SRT shares very little with the other SRT's. The 6.1L is the same, yes, as is the transmission and rear end.
What is unique to the Challenger:
Frame, wheels, dash, steering wheel, center stack, interior, front seats, rear seats, windshield, windows, body panels, headlights, foglights, emblems, exhaust, center console, cupholders, mirrors, moonroof, headliner, ECM, TCM and stability control.
ETC, really the only "SRT shared" items are the basic engine, transmission and rear end and brakes. Otherwise everything else on the Challenger is unique to it and is not shared by the other SRT's. Same with the R/T's vs the Charger/Magnum R/T's.
In the real world the Challenger and Camaro are closer than people think or are willing to accept.
