[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 15291668, member: 67454"] Agreed! IRS, iron block, aluminum heads, factory supercharged 4-valve DOHC V8 & six speed! All modern high-performance cars today are descended from it, in that if they had not sold, if they had not performed, the muscle car scene as it is today would not have come to be. But in addition to that, there is something the '03/'04's have that modern cars don't. It was rough around the edges, all edges, because they could only take what was already there and tweak it to the extent they could and still slap a warranty on it. And they had to do it in a hurry. The cars somehow seem to have caught that up in their makeup, as well. You can see it was thought out in every detail by people who loved what they were doing, I guess. From the engineers to the people on the assembly lines. So they rattle. And shake. There's some body roll, there is the wheel hop issue with the IRS, they've got some clunks (like when turning sharply left at low speeds) and yet, somehow, the rough edges just added to it! [/QUOTE]
