Is there a better performance value anywhere than the mightly SRT8s? No way, IMO.
SRT8s are freaking awesome cars and are a steal at MSRP.
Here's the kicker: Would I have found it necessary to perform every mod to my SRT8 that I have my C? You bet. They still have the engine & tranny lag, which annoy me to no end, and the Hotchkis / KW combo is a better suspension. So I'd have spent precisely the same on mods had I been driving an SRT8.

Well put Meister...
that I can "live" with... 
not having another 7-8 mph in second gear really sucked to be honest with you...
I really hated to upshift into 3rd and not have the rpm's and torque avaiable at a higher level...
it made a difference didn't it Meister???
and it was more than once that it happened to us...
I pretty much found out what this car can and cannot do...
and let's just say ESP "off" is not recommended with trees lining either side of the road...
and I am going to head out with BBSSRT8 and see what the ol'
Hotchkis/KW thing does improvement wise to the SRT8 when he gets back next week... 
your wingman always,
