The 04 SXT in D would probably be the better car but the R/T would be more challenging and more fun. I don't know how the 5 speed transaxle will hold up. Maybe Yak has some experience with them?
The 5-speed will take more abuse for sure as opposed to the automatic. Remember all the SRT cars were 5-speeds...they handled a fair amount of abuse even with upgraded engines. Half shafts were the only issues I've ever heard of from people who were racing them. I don't think you would have any half shaft issues with an NA stocker.
