unfortunately I believe a lot of you are wrong in the sense of why the srt-4 feels faster... coming from a couple of fast front wheel drive cars before the "Z". One must understand that a front wheel drive car will pull the vehicle along, resulting in a slammed back in the seat feel as the vehicle wants to pass your body. You also feel all the raw power up close as the dive train is in front of you. especially if you have an open differential which you get torque steer.
As for the feel of a rear wheel drive vehicle, you have a pushing feeling which in a "Z" is not all that much to brag about. Don't get me wrong I feel the "Z" has an awesome amount of power, but compared to a corvette z06 or at least an ls1 powered domestic we are far from superior. Then again are cars were not meant to be bottle rockets; yet a defined sports inspired vehicle with awesome handling and might I add some awesome drift potential right out of the box.

Ever think that maybe the people in The Z's just werent racing a you?.... just a thought lol
