[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15836697, member: 188865"] I'm not so sure this is a completely honest assessment. Can you create a 350 equivalent (in terms of handling) out of any of the current model 500 cars? Probably, but at what cost? What's the largest size tire you can run (front an rear) in the current 500 offerings without having to widebody it? And no, I'm not talking about being a ricer/redneck and running tires that stress the hell out of the suspension geometry and stick out past the fenders and throw rocks all over your paint job, have steering rub issues and etc. How much brake would you need to run in order to achieve the same braking performance? Keep in mind the extra weight of the 500 is going to require some serious bread loaves over massive rotors to get the beast to woah with the same haste as a 350. Can a solid axle car ever really handle as well as an IRS? What I'm getting at is that you can probably upgrade the current offered 500s in the suspension arena and improve them, but to get to a true 350 turn and stop performance with a current 500 you'll either have to cut some corners or spend SERIOUS money.
