Default Re: Call me crazy...

The reason I compared the SRT-6 suspension to an 80s F-Body Camaro is the ride. Of course the Crossfire will handle infinitely better. But the way the SRT-6 crashes over even small bumps, gets jittery and kind of hops along over uneven pavement is what reminds me of driving an 87 IROC-Z. The whole overly firm suspension is really more 80s thought than present day. IE if the car beats the **** out of you, then it handles good! It does feel like the steering response is quicker than my Limited, which I like! I just drove the car to breakfast and back and got the same impressions as last night (non-linear throttle response, and crashy suspension). I'm going to take it out on some windy Uwharrie Mountains back roads today and see what I think of the car, I'll report back later today with my thoughts, and pics of the two babies.
