Chrysler 300C SRT8

[666fast]

LOL, there is no real point to adding mor epower to the car, but well, why not? :lol:

6.1L Hemi with 420bhp apparently. I think they should have just put the SRT 10 in there!

They prolly want to compete with the CTS-V..... :?

[sentra_dude]

meh...

They should just let their corporate master do the super sedan thing...

[T-Bird]

I don't get it the SRT-8 is the 300C in Dodge form.

[vexor]

I don't think that it looks too good with the black wheels and silver paint, but I would take 1 anyday.

[hemi_fan]

WOOHOO!! Fuck the SRT-10 engine!! Hemi's are where its at! All we need is Ford to build a DECENT Marauder and we've got another horsepower war on our hands :D I may have missed out in the sixties, But Im not missing this one!!!

[T-Bird]

No see the Horse Power Battle in the sedan market is really on foreign territory right now sadly but Ford I'm sure will be getting into it very shortly, some of the prototype and show cars they've been building are hinting at a big forthcoming I hope. obviously GM is out of the game when it comes to Sedan's now since they shrunk the Impala by almost half and put the drive wheels at the wrong end somehow. Shit will be going down once the new Mustang hits the streets, those GTO guys are gonna have something to worry about soon enough. I still don't get why they would call that the SRT-8 since that already exists in another car although it is the same car, The Magnum with the V8 is the SRT-8 and the regular is the SXT and the 300 is the V6 and the 300C is the V8.

Put on some decent rims and that would be an awesome looking car. I like the 6.1l Hemi though. That sounds like a winner.

[666fast]

- 6.1L Hemi - changes over the standard Hemi include a bigger bore, hotter cam, 10.3:1 compression, bigger valves, and other standard hot-rodding tricks
- 6250 RPM redline
- 425 hp
- 420 ft-lbs
- Curb weight: 4130 lbs
- 0-60 in 5.0s
- 1/4 mile in mid 13s
- Suspension work, including 0.5 inch drop front and rear
- Big fat brakes
- Mercedes E500 rear diff
- Exterior changes include body color grille (except the rim), front air dam with brake ducts, new rear valence
- Upgraded interior with more leather
- Less restrictive stability and traction control

nice, cant really go wrong with 425 hp. only i wonder how much it will cost. i kinda like the black rims IMO but they should definitly have a seprate rim option.

[yg60m]

hum, could be good !! :D

the New GTO is getting the LS2, i wouldnt exactly compare the regular GT mustang at a 23k base price to the 30k gto. Supposedly their will be a Judge version of the GTO out soon.

Actually ther Magnuim with the V8 is the RT, not SRT. The Charger based of the magnum will be the R/T.

but can it handle? bring it on :fadein:

[RC45]

but can it handle? bring it on :fadein:

Well - the E55 can't really handle.. neither can the 745/750/760... ;)

[X-ale]

I was more going for a comparo with the caddy. Anyway, you are totaly right.

[blah]

Chmon now you know the BMW 7 series can handle.

SRT designation is no longer an exclusive moniker for Dodges. The new Crossfire also has SRT-6 designation

There is something cheap about the 300C. I say CTS is the better car. CTS-tested in Nürburgring, like the BMWs and Porsches. Power is not enough

[Max Power]

Awesome car......now if only the O.P.P could get rid of their shitty Impalas and started drive that.....OH....I'd want to get pulled over

Apparently, DCX is working on 300C Police Cruisers.

MAX, what are you saying!?! If they started driving these, then only the most exotic cars in Ontario would be able to outrun them :S At least now, you have a chance in ur Dodge Neon. lmao

At the website I found these, a guy stated that some article said it gets less than 20mpg :shock: LOL
It should also do 170mph, technically it's faster than any Merc except the SLR. :lol:

[T-Bird]

haha none of that Gentlemans agreement crap over here :twisted:

[FPVPSI]

That looks great! I love big beasty sedans! Australia has afew aswell. GT and GTS, they have big V8's with quite nice power outputs too...But this is in another league alltogether with its exclusivity factor comming to play (to me anyways), looks very classy and has the punch :mrgreen:

[sentra_dude]

Hmm...looks a bit better with those wheels, but I'll take an M5 thank you very much (the V8 M5 at that).

[TT]

High-res ;)

[Schwalbe]

I appreciate the idea to have several kinds of RWD cars in North America. :D

400 Hp +++ That's really nice ! :wink:

While passing, thanks for the High-res pix TT.

[mclaren_Gt]

LOL ;) -- here we go again.. :P --- another "I would rather spend twice as much and get perceived pedigree with the same peformance" outlander... ;) :lol:
