For a number of reasons, it looks like the R/T doesn't cross-shop too well against the SS and 5.0. But now that the 5.0 and SS are out, Dodge either could re-position the SRT8 to try and compete with the GT500 or slash the price. They chose the former.

the srt8 is right in the middle between the ss and gt500 and the price suggests it and now the power does too,
oh and from reviews it seems like the 90 tq they got across certain rpms are doing wonders for this car. and the most important thing is that it looks like the suspension tweaks really make this car feel and drive like a true muscle car.
