Slightly better, and not noticeable while driving up to 8/10. Road tests show only about a 2-4' difference in stopping distance.
Yes, as I mentioned. But it's not even close to MRC.
Nearly all of this is optional on the Scat Pack. Suede, leather, different color bright trim, heated, cooled, etc...
I know the SRT has the performance pages, but I've played with it. It's cool, but not something you are going to use a lot. Pretty sure there is an Alpine audio upgrade option on the Scat Pack too.
That is an option on the Scat Pack, you don't like it, don't get it.
I have friends with both cars, and have driven then countless times, they are both 99% the same. You can't feel any difference when driving them. They both feel like relatively powerful, huge, heavy cars. Plus, the point was that none of what you mention makes a car fit into a different class just do to minor trim/option changes. Would I buy the SRT, possibly, but don't let marketing fool you...the Scat Pack can be 95% the same car. I shopped these cars very closely a few months ago.

It's not like it really matters... but with all those options the price difference is under 3k and you still don't get the best features.
The SRT seats are much thicker and more comfortable, not to mention available in nicer full leather (as opposed to alcantara/leather combo).
SRT has an 18 speaker Harman Kardon sound system that's one of the best I've heard at any price. The Alpine system is pretty meh...
I'm really a fan of adjustable suspensions - I hate bouncing around the car when driving through Philly or NY :/ but maybe in an area with good roads it isn't an issue. Agreed that mag-ride is superior.
The brakes are not so much for outright stopping power - although that improves greatly at speeds over 60mph - the feel those 6 pistons and huge rotors provide is noticeable.
Honestly those are all what I would consider luxury features... and not everybody notices or cares about such things.
