Is the SS's suspension set up similar to the SRT8 jeep in that its lowered, independent suspension, stiffer sways, bilstein shocks and a big brake kit? How does it do handling-wise? I just don't know allot about the SS's so I figured i'd ask.

yes, dunno, yes (but i am upgrading to hotchkis sways), dunno, and no but the SS apparently stops better than the Jeep according to magazines that have tested both... i know it has corvette brake padsand i know it has 12.8'' rotors all the way around, but i haven't looked to much into the suspension or brakes on these things...

Mine is 2WD and handles fine, it's not an Audi, but it handles well enough, especially for its size...

Sweet, i'd love to see it sometime!

Are you in roanoke now or what? Would you want to do some friendly pulls with me sometime? I've got a few other friends who would want to run too, if you would like. Let me know, i think it'd be fun! Its not every day you get to do some really competitive pulls against an SUV! heh heh

Haha cool, was it a 100 shot or what? Hows traction with it being rwd, what size rears are you running, 285s?

As soon as my car is up and running right i'll get in touch with you. I should be in the 400-420awhp range with pump, and closer to 460-480+awhp on race gas. I'll keep in touch and we'll find a good time to all get together!

BTW, you need to call out the Adam guy in the SRT8 jeep again, see if he knows whats up with your car now. I can arrange that if needed, my friend is best friends with the guy haha.
