I don't think that is the point. Yes, a 360 with 5
speed and 4.10s would be fast, but you CANNOT buy that
at your local dealer. IF you start making
transmission / rear gear changes to the RT, to be fair
you would have to allow the 4.7 guys to do the same,
then it comes down to who has the most money. And not
just the 5 speeds are close, the autos too. My SLT
4.7 CC auto has so far run a best of 14.92 with just
a K&N. That is very close if not faster than lots of
the 'slower' CC RT's.
