Mark's new car is cooler than any of them though...

What Casey said!
I wasn't really bashing Mopar for building what is a pretty cool power plant.... I just wish they would buy into some engineering and give us a car that can actually USE that amazing level of power for something other than roasting tires in a straight line.
This is where - to me - GM is so far ahead of the curve... with the AMAZING Corvette platform - and what they're doing with the Camaro line up.
Ford is trying... and showed us the goods with the Laguna... They just haven't taken the next step which would be some serious power AND handling capability. They have the power part down. A little less plastic -- and a little more weight balancing... Funny -- the exact same things they missed out on back in the day.
Not saying people can't MAKE these cars handle -- but it would be nice to see the factory (ala the Z/28 etc) put some effort in a showroom version.
