Default Vented brakes?

The SRT is supposed to have vented brakes. They aren't slotted or drilled, so does that just mean that the rotors are somewhat hollow with ventilation ducts within the walls?

Yes - you can see the vanes between the center of the disk that pushes the air inside the inner and outer surfaces. How they are oriented is "somewhat" important.

SRT Front Rotors have directional vanes - not sure about the N/A Crossfires. Rear rotors have straight vanes.

Learned this when I had my stock SRT rotors slotted and dimpled.

Oh, you had yours slotted. Had me worried there for a minute! I believe the SRT has front and rear vented, while the std. xfire has solid rotors in the rear.

Yep and slightly larger rotors all round.

Both the Limited & SRT have vented fronts and solid backs... If memory serves me...
