R/T on Dodge vehicles stands for Road/Track. It's been the designation for their performance models off and on since 1967.

On the real and original Dodge cars R/T stood for Road/Track but was also nick named Rapid Transit which stuck for many years and was more preferred than Road/Track. It got to be such a used name MOPAR actually came back out with commercials claiming it was Road/Track. I still like Rapid Transit a lot better. There is even a car club for Mopars called "Rapid Transit".
After posting this I found a Dodge site for the new cars claiming R/T for 2006 stood for Rapid Transit.
I posted 2 sites 1 which mentions Rapid Transit for the new Dodge cars and the Scat Pack Road/Track for the Dodge and the Plymouth Rapid Transit System which is what the nick name was for the entire program Dodge or Plymouth of R/T, Rapid Transit & Road/Track.
If you're like me and you were raised and lived in the Detroit area in the 60's you just know these things. Plus I worked at Sterling Heights Dodge in the early 70's. Saw loads of Challengers and Chargers.

As someone pointed out, it's stood for Road/Track since 1967, when the Coronet R/T was introduced. The R/T designation was also used on a performance version of the Charger from 1968-71, as well as a performance version of the Challenger from 1970-71. (The Challenger T/A was based on the base Challenger and not the R/T, interestingly enough.) R/Ts were premium vehicles, unlike the Dodge Super Bee which was a bare-bones performance car.
The R/T designation has been used in other countries, such as the Polara R/T in Argentina, but that was an A-body like a Dart and that designation was never used on the A-body in America; the premium A-body in America was the Dart GTS.
POSTSCRIPT: "Rapid Transit", as a poster mentioned below, has NOTHING to do with Dodge. That was Plymouth's version of Dodge's Scat Pack.
