    RT or R/T -- which is it???

    My car says RT -- I've seen pictures (here) of R/T badges -- is it a year model
    thang?

    Excuse me if this was already covered -- I'm too lazy to look it up...

    60's ers R/T badges were just that...R/T. Magnums used the rt. Dodge seems to be a little inconsistant with how they use it.

    Has been 'R/T' since the dawn of time, at least until some bonehead designer at DCX had a brain fart and decided that the '/' did not matter and badged the Magnum 'RT.' AFAIK, the Magnum is the first Dodge ever to be an 'RT', and not an 'R/T', and given the fact that they have acknowledged and corrected their boo boo on the new Charger, it may (hopefully) be the last.

    Hey - what about the '06 Mags? 'RT' or 'R/T'..?

    RT (New) and R/T (old) have different official trademark meanings:

    RT = Race Technology

    R/T = Road & Track

    Also, SRT = Street Race Technology

    Then why did they change it back to R/T for the 2006 Magnum? I think it must have been an oversight.

    Maybe the "/" is a symbol for the hood prop they put in the 2006's :razz:

    Just one more thing to set the '05s apart from the rest. Who knows? Maybe the RT badge will be sought after by collectors some day.
