Or just build it right along with better mods and a supercharger and then
you have a S-R/T.

Well, you can't build your own R/T. You can build a fake one, but it
won't be an R/T unless it has the "Z" in the VIN. :-)

If you want to go fastest at the strip, get the RC R/T. A 4.7 5
speed will be able to keep up with you stock to stock, but the 5.9 has
more room to grow with the extensive mods currently available for it.
Plus, you don't have to worry about missing a shift and losing a race,
just hold the pedal to the floor and hold on! <grin>
Oh man, I know I'm going to get some heat for that one. LOL!

I know of one R/T owner who flew from Hawaii to attend the R/T
National Meet in Detroit.
