Ive driven one and it is pretty fast, especially for a family sized sedan. Which is why I almost bought one.......but im young and not going to really be needing a big sedan so im going for a coupe 2SS or GT500(dont get mad GM friends there's a reason)

The people are still there, but they aren't working together anymore. Hopefully, their commitment to GM continues in their other divisions until they can reunite as a new GM performance crew.

We also need to remember that SVT was disbanded at one point, and it is now back. Expect the same of GM.

G8 GXP > Charger SRT.
