I don't think there is a "for sure" answer on the 5.7L, but as far as the R/T it's a option package. I too do not understand why they don't advertize it along with all the other R/T's ??????

Usually the ordering cutoff is sometime in late May or early June for a 2002. They will then continue to build the orders that are placed for another couple of months, so a new 2002 can show up just a few weeks ahead of when it's possible to see a 2003 on the lot. They don't stop the assembly line long for a model changeover when there are not many changes. Just because you didn't get a order in by the cutoff doesn't mean that a dealer didn't order a R/T to stock his lot, so they will be available as a 2002 probably until the year end inventory clearances in September, maybe longer.
