Well, I don't know about the SRT6, but my base coupe is quite neutral at speeds between 50mph and 100mph. I agree, it's not a drift car, if that's what you want.
As for the Dragon, well let me just say that any car will understeer on that road if one goes in hot into a corner. Motorcycles will lowside. The definition of "hot" on that road is any speed above 25 mph in certain corners. I don't know many if any cars that will oversteer at that speed.

Opticon, if you're interested in getting a mechnical LSD for this car, email Gary Peloquin at
info@peloquins.com and tell him to hurry up and get one designed for the car. I've been emailing Quaife and Peloquins and Quaife will never deliver. Gary said that he can make one 6-9 months out, faster if there's more interest.
