If not for those brakes! Those Brembo brakes are marvelous beyond comprehension. Big Gulp 360 x 32 mm front, and 350 x 26 mm rear
vented rotors bitten down hard by bright red Brembo calipers make short work of excess speed - 60 mph (96.6 km/h) to zero only needs 110 feet (33.5 meters). No worries and negligible fade despite the acrobatics.
After what seemed like the ultimate amusement ride, a roller coaster of corkscrews and undulations, the slow to 45 sign signified our fun was over. A few houses dotting along the roadway, soon became Pasadena's palatial estates, and concerns over city drivers, potential pedestrians,
cyclists and children playing around the next corner, brought us back to reality. It was fun, a drive I'll never forget actually. The perfect highway, hardly any traffic, and the ideal car; a moment to be cherished.
If you don't relate, you either never will and are staring at these words, mouth agape, horrified at the thought, or you're merely initiated, and need to get down to a Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep dealer and test out an SRT car. It doesn't matter which one, as each is designed to perform to the highest level within its respective class. I just happen to have a personal affinity for the new Charger SRT8, now that I've taken it to the crest of angels and back.
