Well, SRT's are great vehicles, I know, I had two. I've also had numerous Corvettes, (C4, C5 and a C6) and a couple of other HP cars in the past 20 years or so. Loved them all but nothing runs like the TH. In my experience, the top performance on every vehicle I've ever owned wasn't achieved until I had over well 10k+ miles on it, so I won't know for a while what the TH is really capable of. So far, I've only made one full 0-60, 0-100 and 1/4 mile run with the TH and that was done in less than perfect conditions and it easily beat the best numbers, that I got under perfect conditions, in either of my SRT's or any of my Vettes for that matter. (all were 100% stock) I expect those number will only get better after I get the beast fully broken in and run it it perfect conditions too.
I'm not a hard core track guy either, I don't particularly like the piss yellow calipers, and the same with my SRT's, I really don't like the P Zero Pirelli's or the insane amount of brake dust the cars make but that is the end of my don't like list for the TH. (And these few issues can be easily corrected)
I've noticed a few things that are different between my TH and the SRT's I had, other than the minor cosmetic changes. The TH suspension is firmer, the engine/exhaust sound is very much different and the engine power/performance/responsiveness is nothing short of awesome, especially for a fully loaded, roomy and comfortable luxury vehicle that only cost ~100k and comes with a 60k mile powertrain warranty. You are going to have to spend 100k+ more to match that and even more to beat it, IMO. (I know I must sound like a TH salesman
) FCA, feel free to send me lots of money for the support!
I'll add that I never had to take any of my GC's to the shop for any repairs, although they all had a few recalls. Wash it, change the oil, add gas, and go and go and go.
