Hopefully DCX is watching this board, so we may as well give them some info. If built exactly as we've seen in concept, with 6.1, 6spd and whether there is a V6 beneath it or a 6.4 above it, what "Badge" would you prefer on it?
SRT-8 for the Challenger would require more than 500 HP to stick such a Bagde on an already great car... Also, an SRT-8 for the Challenger better run at least 12.0 in the 1/4 mile... My brothers '68 Charger with a 440 Six Pack ran high 11's... I know the technology is here to achieve this, now the Engineers just need to impliment it... And yes, we will pay for it! Just make it!

It is my belief that if they are going to put the SRT-engineered 6.1L Hemi in the Challenger, then the SRT team should receive credit in the naming of the car.

Apples and oranges man... Your brothers 68 Charger would have been lucky to reach the 13's when it rolled of the assembly line, probably slower considering they didn't put 440/6's in 68 Chargers from the factory.
I would say R/T for for the 350 HP 5.7 and SRT 8 For the 425 6.1 Hemi... I wish they would both just be RT's with engine callouts on the hood like the old days but they will probably do what they are doing for the Charger and Magnum.
SRT8 vs. R/T badge for new Challenger
