    Could they have gone cheaper on the arm rest? A few minutes into use and my elbows sore from the hard contact.

    I have no problem with the padded leather armrest on my 2009 SRT. I guess it pays to buy the top-of-the-line model.

    There's more padding on an SRT than an R/T?

    I am not sure, but the SRT does have an upgraded interior, especially the seats.

    I have no complaints about center or door arm rest on my 2011SRT8 Green with Envy Challenger. It's a very comfortable and great driving car. Really love it.
