+ freakin 1. I hate this new thing where because of all these bs laws, today's
cars weigh more than yesterday's
trucks...despite the advances in technology like BMW using magnesium blocks, everyone using exotic materials, etc.
Since I'm not a hardcore Mopar guy and I rather like the styling of the SK8 (SRT4 is "skittle" and I call the "SRT8" Charger the "SK8", and YES I KNOW its NOT going to catch on
)
My problem isnt the 4 doors, its the weight. If your car weighs more than my Supra, then you need to start shedding weight..I dont care how much more power it makes...the biggest enemy to performance is weight...less weight makes a car handle better, get better mileage, accellerate faster, brake better, etc. etc. etc. and dont tell me OEM people cant do it, because both the GTi MkV and the newest NC chassis Miata both weigh less than their previous counterparts.
