The up graded suspension system and 4 wheel Brembos are worth the SRT-8 for me. " IF YOU CAN'T RUN WITH THE BIG DOG'S, STAY ON THE PORCH". A Challenger can be ordered with any option package, just buy what you feel comfortable with. Family comes first ! If you have to check with your better half about the purchase of a Challenger, buy the SE, if not and you wear the pants in the family, BUY THE SRT-8. PLAIN AND SIMPLE, IT'S A NO BRAINER !!!
