Now let's see if Dodge blows it by sticking skinny tires on the car like the SRT (and even RT). I know it says bigger tires, so we will see.
I said the same thing about the v8 SS camaros, where I thought GM could have tweaked out a few more horses by making small adjustments. But I wonder if the engineers want to keep a certain percentage of margin relative to engine or component failure?? I love how modern muscle competition is in full effect.
