Earlier this year in Las Vegas. It was just over 2 seconds behind the fastest vehicles and those were built by hotchkis suspension.

I just sold my 2011 RAM with drop, shocks, front and rear sways and my Charger would eat it alive in the corners and it'll eat my Durango alive as well! At the end of the day a properly tuned suspension on a car against a Durango is an apples to oranges debate. Me personally though, I would not trade in a cts-v to purchase a s/c for a Durango. But hey, it's not my CTS-V to trade so.....carry on! lol
LOL Newman beat me to it. Hell I'd autocross mine If I found an event. I wouldn't be trading a CTS-V either. I'd trade my D in for a CTS-V wagon in a heartbeat!! Just saying that for what it is there are not many, if any SUV's that don't cost 20 grand more that can out handle it.

I think you missed my point. A Durango, regardless of power adders, will not out handle a CTS V. The Cadillacs suspension. Is far superior. If you don't believe it try it. It's not about the blower. It's about trading in a CTS V just to put a blower on a Durango. At the end of the day it's that persons choice, I just wouldn't do it. I own a R/T Durango as well as the car below, I'm not anti Durango or anti s/c just stating facts. lol

I'm done defending it now. lol I'm sure there is someone out there that is getting my point. Maybe someday there will be some suspension parts available for the Durango that may help it out but until that day.....

Surprised you haven't bagged the Durango and lost the heavy 22's if you are serious about auto x.
