Really, all the tests I have seen puts the SRT8s handling figures right with the Camaro SS. Also the platform was redone in 11 and since has gotten rave reviews on it's handling abilities. the 12+ adjustable suspension from bilstien is even better. As for braking, it is fine too, it comes with bigger Brembos than the SS has. The Challenger and Camaro platforms have FAR more in common than they do not.
