um, they put it in there to go fast
and also to have a car to match/better the Lightning and take out any competition...looks like they were pretty sucessful to me.
I'd take the SRT-10...looks better & faster...the price tag is killer though.
:edit:
also you are kind of kickin yourself in the a$$, the Lightning is a moving brick on wheels. No different than the SRT-10 and has WAY more potential then your little mx-3 could ever dream of...
