Honestly, I'd rather have a brand new Subaru Impreza WRX hothatch. If I had to buy American, Ford Focus RS then. /shrugs.

I understand if it's too much horsepower for a po' ol'country boy like yourself.

545 is plenty for me, 840? Diminishing returns. On the street, only so fast you can go, on the track, it's more about the complexes than the straights, but whatevs, knock yourself out, I'm not a Chrysler man meself.

I'm not really a drag racer meself, sure, I like to get the drop on a slowtard, but I'm more of a track man, and yeah, there's a bit of understeer with the AWD, but I'd rather have understeer than oversteer. 840 FR? Thats a bit overheated for my taste.

Thing is, whether Evo or Gojira, I like the push from all four, front rear 40/60, even at the drop, if you put 840 all through the rear, you're prolly gonna shimmy.

Fairly certain that stability control cuckoldry is required on cars now. I think the Viper was one of the last super cars to hold out on it until like ten years ago.

Well, like I said, knock yourself out, I'm not a Chrysler man, and I'm honestly not thirsting for anymore horsepower nor torque, can't even fully exploit what I got now, I don't know where 800+ hp and 700+ lb ft would even be of any use to me, there's a point, where it's just a number which doesn't translate into anything usefull, real world.
