Charger SRT8 vs. Pontiac G8 GXP, R&T
Looks like the suspension isn't that great compared to the SRT8

ok so put the Eagle F1s on the GXP and the g8 will be the clear winner. Now whats really good is the 30k SS will handle much better as some have stated that the SS will pull .96Gs so um yeah about that.

Very interesting. This goes against everything else I've read/seen (Charger = boat, GXP = nimble as a cat).

Edit... shoulda kept reading...

In short, the Dodge gives you a greater feeling of security on a hard drive, but you can go faster in the more agile Pontiac.
That says it all. Isn't going fast what we're all looking for? (and the Camaro only improves this).

also the numbers for the GT/GXP the skidpad numbers are about the same so.....really this cannot be used to try to describe the way the camaro will handle at all.

The only thing I've heard of him saying is "Both versions of the V8 Camaro SS pull a maximum 0.90 g on the skid pad"
