Agree. I can't figure out why the factory thinks that these new cars have to be so heavy.It's about time. I wonder what the power to weight is versus the competition. This is a nice upgrade, but it still may not be enough if they don't put the car on a diet.
They do have something called "The Core", which is a low-optioned SRT. Unfortunately, it's still not low weight, but the price point isn't bad.
