Shelby GT500 KR is lighter, more powerful and faster
The gt500 does 0-60 in 4.5 secs the srt8 does it in 4.9. In the quarter mile the gt500 does it in the high 12's where the charger takes mid 13's. Despite having a live rear axle the gt500 still manages a 1.0 lateral g force while the srt8 only pulls off a 0.89 lateral g force.
The SRT8 (either Challenger or Charger) will be faster than a RT. The SRT8 has the 6.1L Hemi, while the RT has the 5.7L.
The Camaro would have a distinct edge
from what I have been reading the SRT8 will not be available in the 2011 charger, just the 5.7 hemi.
MSRP for SRT8: $45,995 MSRP for SRT8 Super Bee: $42,995

nope
While the Dodge Charger SRT8 is a really good looking car, it has some disadvantages that should be taken into consideration. It is told that the Charger does not get all that good gas mileage and that the service and parts for the Charger are expensive.
