Holy mother of batman!! I've been driving the R/T for almost a month now and the SRT has barely gotten out of the garage during that time. Meanwhile temps have plummeted. The R/T is no slouch by any stretch, but man... driving the SRT is something else. It's like driving a race car compared to the softer ride of the R/T and the 6.1 is just violent at any speed, really. Driving just half a block is a quick reminder how fantastic of a machine this really is.
I don't have an RT to compare to - but I feel the same every time I have to drive my wife's Honda and then get back in the SRT8. And I think the super cold air makes it sound even meaner... LOL
Speaking of cold air - did you still want that intake? Yeah the difference for you is much greater of course - a regular Honda to an SRT is quite a jump. It's like wild animal compared to the relatively docile nature of the R/T. The R/T on the highway is quite, comfortable and a superb cruiser - the SRT lets you know of every bump, the Toyos make a lot of noise compared to the Blizzaks on the R/T and it's really hard not to just drop it to 3rd and hammer it
That was one of the first things I thought of after I read your post... Yeah, if it is still around and we can meet up some day! Thanks. I had a 300 AWD V6 before the SRT8 and it was weeks before I retrained my body how to drive. Everything felt about the same physically, so I'd forget what would happen when I would hit the gas like I was still in the V6...
haha and no chance of the rear end sliding out with AWD either!! lol Yeah we can meet up one day - either the Essex MG for the club or maybe I can swing by one day when I'm out on sales anyway - I'll just drop the intake into the back of either Magnum and bring it to you. I'll PM you.
