Would you not agree that the SRT-8s handleing, power, and braking is better than the R/T. Would you not also say that the GT-500s handleing, power and braking is better than the GT. So "better" is the proper word. If someone would test these cars SRT-8, GT-500 and SS, then I would say that is a better test of pony car performance. I had just came from the Camaro forums where the Challenger gets its fair share of bashing... and they use these test to indicate normal results. And justify not testing because of price differences. But they will test against a lower rpice Mustang but not a higher priced SRT-8. Right on Tommy... sad, sad set of affairs we are in. I wonder how it will all settle out.
