Aha, I see, thanks. I thought forward acceleration was forward acceleration in terms of butt dyno feel, regardless of the suspension setup. I have not driven the Scat Pack, but for example the 5th gen Camaro didn't feel more "brutal" or "raw" than MRC 6th gens at similar power levels, despite the major difference in their suspensions.

Then again, curb weights were different, weather was different, tires and actual power level, too, so my observations are purely subjective as well... wish we had access to all these cars in every configuration so we could run some scientific back-to-back testing
