...regarding SRT ride quality, check out where many of the magazines are headquartered.

Automobile, Autoweek, and Car & Driver are all Michigan-based publications. In Michigan, we have just about the worst roads in the country. Many of them are cratered with pot holes, bumpy with frost heaves, and filled with lumps of asphalt. This is the result of several things, including severe temperatures, not allocating enough tax dollars to build the roads right in the first place (let alone maintain them), and a ton of heavy truck traffic. All this means, that a slightly stiffer SRT model could pummel the spine in this state. I doubt the same would be true on the silky smooth blacktop people drive on in other parts of the country. If the auto magazines tested these cars there (instead of here), the reviews might be quite different.

Remember, too, that SRT vehicles (ALL of them) are intended to be among the most potent performance vehicles on the market. These are no compromise performance cars. Sure, driving an SRT-10 to and from work is kind of like using a sledgehammer to pound in a thumb tack, but that's the appeal. The SRT-6 is no different, really. SRT models, in general, are not designed for people that whine about ride quality, fuel economy, or interior noise levels.
