I keep hearing that the new SRT is made from a clean sheet of paper and because of that it is supposed to be much better in every way compared to the GENII cars. Well if you compare the magazine tests namely MotorTrend from this year and from previous years you will see that the new SRT will outperform the ACR and GTS from past competition tests only in quarter mile and zero to 60. This is due obviously to the extra power which the GEN II cars can be modified to also have, and the upgraded brakes. But every other test will show that the handling tests are the same even though the SRT has the extra power. So please stop the crap that the suspension has been redesigned which makes the SRT much better in handling. It is simply not true. The quarter mile difference is due to the extra power and nothing else. If a GEN II car has the mopar computer and the exhaust modifications you will see that it is the same in quarter mile and 0-60. Add a Stoptech braking system and you will also see the same results as the SRT. The suspension modifications and the new so called frame means nothing in terms of performance compared to the GEN II.
