General LX improvements
-Shave a bit of the weight off
-Vastly improved interior materials with sportier, more contemporary interior design
-Better steering and pedal feel
-Six-speed automatic
SRT improvements
-More power and torque
-Further improved handling and braking
-Push button start
-Bolder exhaust note
-Bolstered rear seats
-More gears in the transmission (like a MB AMG six-speed automatic)
-MAF replacing speed density system (we want to be able to tune and modify these cars as easily and enjoyably as GM customers can to theirs)
-More exterior details to set SRTs apart from normal models like the Euro-spec rear bumper with rear fog lamps (Grand Cherokee SRT has this) and Euro-spec side indicators on the front fenders
-More color choices for the exterior and interior including colored leather and stitching on the wheel, seats and shifter. Two-tone seat and door panel color treatment. SRT-specific exterior colors and interior colors would be nice, like the Charger Daytona enjoys. Caramel colored seats with contrasting black paneling and dash would be cool, like the Volvo S60 R.
-More SRT detailing inside on the gauges, pedals, steering wheel and other parts to better differentiate them from the normal models. I noticed the Grand Cherokee SRT-8 has blue rings in the gauges. Lots of small touches really add up.
-Keep pushing the performance/comfort/styling envelope overall for each car and always ensure the SRTs are really something special
Take a look over the tuner vehicles at
