Although the car's handling and braking may be as good as any base or limited Crossfire; if the work was done correctly. It now has longer stopping distance, less cornering ability, less down force and more body roll then the original SRT. This would be similar an SRT-6 with bad breaks, worn shocks/struts and missing aerodynamic parts. Fine to be driven by some for "normal street driving", but still less effective in an emergency stop, emergency turn, high speed run or hard cornering situation then a well maintained SRT-6. So, in my opinion the safety of this vehicle is reduced and has been negatively effected by the changes.
