The mid-range R/T, featuring a 372-horsepower 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with variable valve timing and a Multi-Displacement System that shuts down four cylinders when they aren't needed, delivers fuel economy almost as good as the V6 The high-performance SRT8 version, as shown here at the 2009 Portland International Auto Show, starts at $39,995.
