The upgraded engine, which is being previewed in Pebble Beach this weekend, pumps the numbers up to 425 hp - 25 more than the new, sixth-generation Corvette, incidentally - and 420 lb-ft. "When we first went down the 6.1-liter path," admits Knott, "our targets were a lot lower." Not that he's complaining. The 6.1-liter version of the HEMI will help Chrysler dramatically differentiate the new 300C SRT-8 from the 5.7-liter version of the car.


wow.

Not a fan of Chrysler...but that thing is amazing.
you should note tho, that theres a $25K version of this car with a smaller engine and plastic dash etc... however, the fully loaded Hemi version has an E type suspension, leather and wood trims and a nice powerful engine smile.gif

I think it's funny that it evolved from this:


I never would've noticed the above car, but the new 300M is very noticeable.

With 0-6 rumored at 5 secs, it's definetly an awesome car.

yeah, but that's only a few tenths faster than the normal 300C.

0-6 in 5 seconds, damn thats slow. 0-60 in 5 seconds, now that would be impressive! lol

the normal 300C doesn't do 0-60 in 5.3 seconds.

Even car and driver admits they got duped. In their 3-way detroit V8 comparison (Crown Vic(!), Bonneville GXP, and 300C- if i need to tell you the Hemi dominated, you need to leave) they qouted a 0-60 of 5.9. Which is still quick of course, but they said that the testing was in the same location and basically the same conditions... the 300C Hemi they tested was a preproduction version.

That doesn't change the fact that its still a 4000 lb car

The more aggressive front end of the 300C SRT-8 is exactly what was missing from the orinal 300C.
Mr b00st
it's a little too much like brosnan putting on brass knuckles.

they should have ditched the little spoiler and splitter, and done the following stylistically:

those 20" alloys are perfect. Keep them.
Offer the SRT-8 in any color you want, as long as it's black.
Smoke the rear tail lenses.
lightly smoke the front tail lights, and fit HID design.

Rickysals, one of our members :heart: , did a coupe version chop of the SRT-8. thumbs_up.gif





Take a little time to check out his kickass photochop site at http://www.rickysalsdesigns.com thumbs_up.gif cool.gif

They're coming out with a coupe and convertable versions of the 300C. I think the coupe looks the best, just because I like the roofline a lot better. I find it suits the car better.

So I'd rather get a coupe version of the SRT-8 if they come out with it. I just don't care for the styling of the 4 door...

A 300C Coupe would look great. I hope they don't make a convertible though.

I think this is where good American style'd cars should go. Classic american style means ugly normally... this is american and decently pretty

In August's Car and Driver there were somc preety good chops of a 300C Coupe and Convertible . I really hope they put a manual transmission on it an maybe the Mercedes 4 liter commonrail diesel on it . That way it will be surely a success in Europe too .
høgh
This is definatly one of the best american car available in Europe! And Rickysals chop is really beatiful and also shows what you can do with the car!
