Dodge made a big DOH! when they lined the R/T up against the SS.
R/T is a big fun car, but its not in the SRT's league, which in turn is just barely in the SS's.
I REALLY want someone to do a Challenger SRT vs. SS comparison

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
