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...

Right on.
The good news is that the chip tuners (first one imminent for the 5.7L, mid-summer for the 6.1L) will give us that extra 7-8 mph in second gear needed to smooth out the process of hammering the twisties simply by allowing us to raise our rev limit and shift points appropriately. That will indeed be most sweet.
The only place I've seen us differ here, wingman, is on the topic of ESP. I much prefer to have ESP
totally disabled, via GSM mod & ESP button if so equipped, or via fuse 17 (inferior option compared to the GSM mod - but better than running with ESP still alive) whenever I'm flogging it hard. I hate the ESP second-guessing me, and vice versa. It's the old "too many indians..." goat rope all over again.
My car is now totally predictable through the tightest curves with the ESP system totally disabled. Not so with the computer trying to control my car.
