I do, wouldn't it be nice to destroy a srt-4/turbo civic/wrx while carrying the wife and kids?

[iceburns288]

I'd go for a SRT-8 Mangum: cheaper and lighter.:hitit:

[sabad66]

its also a heavier car...almost twice as heavy as my civic...so if my civic had around 220 hp they would have the same power to weight ratio, no?

[benyl]

If they build it with AWD, it will be my next car... :bigpimp:

[Mckenzie]

I am really liking these 300C's. The black ones look really sharp and I am sure there will be a few exterior changes to go with the SRT badging. Very nice! :bigpimp:

[1badPT]

Wow!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: Now imagine if they forcefeed that 6.1L puppy :D :D :D :D

All of the LX cars are AWD capable, but they'll probably leave it as an available option instead of standard equipment.

[ex1z7]

[NiteRider]

Who needs a 425HP car stock w/warranty? Any self-respecting man with 2 balls, that's who...

Competes in power and features with the other cars mentioned, but spanks 'em silly in price, good job, Chrysler!

I think most people would agree with this, although the 300's styling is very nice people want the brand name of Benz, BMW, etc. but none of those names offer this type of power for such a pricetag.

The 300c has alot of E class in it.:thumbsup:

[***SRT-8***]

Most of you have never tried one im sure, and probably cant afford the base model 300. This isnt intended to insult anyone, Im just being frank. Last years car (05) 300 was the car I bought in black. It was car of the year in motor trend magazine. Nothing new here. When I test drove a 300C same year, I had to have it. So I traded up and got it in jade. Big deal, my cash right? Well, The car I really wanted was just a lot of talk until I found out I could order it. The 06 SRT-8 in my opinion was worth the loss of all the upgrades I did. Some of you probably think Im crazy, well I will save you the trouble of insulting me. I am crazy but I have an SRT-8. There is not one option that it doesnt have and its mafia black. I collect cars got all kinds of neat ones but this family powerhouse lets me have my corvette days back and drag the family along where ever we go. Ive had the car for 2 months now. I have less than 200 miles on it and its stored for the winter along with all my other babies. But, If I was looking for economy, I wouldnt have bought this car. I was looking for something that not everyone would have. Besides, what could be more economical than to not drive it? :)

You are a complete idiot. There are a number of people on Beyond that have 300C's along with much more expensive cars.

Take you pompous ass back to NY and dont let the door hit you on your ass on the way out.

[bspot]

These would be cool, except 300's are friggen rental cars and I see them every day. If I get a car worth that much I don't want it to look the same as a car that I see every single day with budget stickers slapped on the back.

[benyl]

What a great way to introduce yourself. You are obviously well liked on all the other forums you frequent. Welcome. Enjoy your stay.

there are guys on this forum with, just off the top of my head, a Ferrari F430, a few Vipers, a few diesel trucks worth way more then your SRT-8, a tuned Porsche 944 that is crazy fast, a Renntech SLK, and then another guy with both a 360 Modena and a Porsche convertible. He was just being honest, you are a dick.

[nismodrifter]

fyi...he's from Toronto.

Nice work e-thug. You've just been IPOWNED

um, you are posting from Toronto... why do you talk about yourself that way?

[Aleks]

that was quick :rofl:

[benyl]

awe man, who banned him. I wanted to have some fun first.

[AllGoNoShow]

haha nismo had to much fun ;)

I'd love to get my hands on an 300c, 300 would be nice to but I'd rather have that power under the hood as well. Maybe some of the leases in a couple of years will come back and end up cheap.


For someone who was asking, they did FI a 300c, not an SRT-8 but the 300c yes. It was down in the states I'll see if I can find the article again. Supercharged, I believe Vortech did the kit but don't quote me on that.

I've seen one of the SRT-8 300's as well when I worked at Fountain Tire, and GOD DAMN, it was sexy. Huge engine, Huge power, HUGE brakes, huge wheels, sexy and stylish and comfy intertior, more reliable then an old beast like I had. I couldn't stop talking about it for the day.

[treg50]

Hahahah that was cool. NY, lol.

An SRT-sized 300 eh? If I had to go domestic I'd rather CTS-V myself instead of touch that blingitty, bling, bling 300. Ideally, RS6 and M5 :drool:

One of the stampeders already did. lol. I have driven SRT-8 300 and magnum and both are very, very impressive.

Wow, that's just hollywood's ignorance shining through. The car is basically a W210 E55 with different sheet metal and more power, hardly a pile of shit.
