Yeah that whole quote didn't make much sense to me either. Just because they already had the ACR which was intended for that type thing didn't mean they had it refined completely. There is always room for improvement. Also don't understand what makes him think that just because they were called in for their input, that they didn't apply any of those changes to the other models.

Moreover Chrysler has the racing experiance to build there own cars from the ground up. The only reason they would bring in auto-x people is to find out there experiance with a currently existing car and refine it. Hence they brought them in to share their views and experiance with the ACR and find out what they can refine on the neon for the SRT-4 package.
