This all started long before fiat bought what was chrysler.
Yes it did... when Damn near Chrysler took over they sent all of the R&D work over to Germany and that was my job till then.. all I did after that was fix screw ups.. thats when my job went down hill... even before that the performance side was lacking..except for the Nascar group and look for that went..being we have no parts for mopar anymore.. it just doesnt bother me that people turn to the dark side
