I'd personally much rather have a very well sorted 400hp car, than a 707 horsepower mess.
15.4" Brembos w/ 6-pot calipers up front & 14.2" in the rear with what appears to be single piston calipers in the rear.... should stop ok.
Suspension has "gas-charged adjustable absorbers" with three modes - track/sport/street - will remain to be seen how it does for turning that heavy car. Suspension & handling will be the weak point of this car due to its size and the beasts currently offered by Chevy & Ford.
Glad Mopar is making an effort to stay alive in the muscle car game.

What is the point of all that power if its so fat and bad at putting it down? C7, M4, 911, Z/28 Camaro, GT-R.. all significantly faster or both faster and cheaper in a drag, or on a track.
I can't seem to find reliable source for next GT500 but rumors say excess of 750hp and even up to 800hp.
salesperson at the ford dealership i go to says something more definite may be announced this september in conjunction with the official unveiling of the gt350/svt/whatever:
