Initial drive impressions over the first 40 or so km are favourable. It turns in surprisingly well for such a lrage vehicle and thanks to the US guys we already know how to completely disable the nanny system.
Braking performance is on par with the GT-P (which is no surprise) but it's a little more refined in the way it goes about things. Clearly it is not as nimble as the GT-P in terms of ultimate roadholding but it does go like the proverbial cut cat even within the parameters of being sympathetic during the run-in period. Cheers Russ

BTW - Nice to see the MPH on the inside.. Always worth a try when you get pulled over for doing 160 ;)

Congrates Russ on the new car, it is certainly a change from the GTP. I look forward to reading your in depth review once you've clocked up a few thousand clicks.

Temp is a little high there ... hope it's not that far up the scale all the time. But damn ... the SRT is a damn fine machine indeed.
