Those folks who moaned constantly about the looks were forgetting that the appearance changes (more aggressive) were going to affect the performance! When the performance stats Dodge predicted weren't met (apparently) at VOI, I have to question what penalties were paid for the visual enhancement? If the performance of the SRT is suffering, I say the moaners got what they asked for.

Jim,
You're talking about 1/4 mile ET? I guarantee you, even if the styling tweaks increased the drag coefficient of the car slightly, that would make no difference in 1/4 mile ET. The effect due to the much larger difference in Cd between the Gen II RT/10 and GTS is something like a few hundredths of a second ET.
The difference in Cd (if there is any due to styling tweaks) may affect top speed by a few MPH, but who cares?
