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.
I agree with you for the most part, except what you are also saying the n/a Crossfire is unsafe and it is not. This car has less performance in the areas that you meniton, so some of the limits have changed for the worse. One thing I discovered at the Dragon is that a n/a car with a good driver can stay with a SRT. With my V8 I have done all the upgrades including having better brakes than the SRT ever came with. Saying the n/a is unsafe is like me teling you your car is unsafe because you don't have my suspension and braking upgrades. Any car is unsafe when pushed beyond the limits.
