Hmmm... wonder if they failed to mention as well that of the 3, the R/T was the only one not supercharged. And once you do, it's as fast if not faster than the other 2 (not to forget better looking, and cheaper then the lightning, but don't know the price of the toy). Course, SRT-10 blows them all away (stock), and it's not supercharged..hehe.. Course, it's close to double the price of the lightning.
