Default 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT-8 .... look out.....

Did anyone notice the 1/4 mile on the new 300C SRT8 is 13.2ish?
They've got a 6.1L Hemi in those things.....

Dear god...... only our best have a chance of keeping up with those.... Rogue... I'm looking at you.
..... also I'm guessing they ran their 1/4 mile on street tires....

Um... just realized something... according to C&D, this SRT8 is faster on the 1/4 then our beloved 2005 GTO.

Probably a while, seems to be a lot of myth about the strength of their mechanical equipment.

I don't hear about as many Mopar tranny failures vs GM tranny failures, and the Hemi is so old and well established.

Sure is ugly tho :?

Still an ugly car in my opinion. Not worth being seen in that thing to go fast.

Again, my opinion...

It'* ugly.... but it'* fast......

I don't know how it is elsewhere.... but there are a TON of new 300'* on the road.
I have to look at each one closely to see if it'* a C or not..... and now... just when I didn't think I had to worry about a "C" anymore..... now I've gotta worry about an "SRT-8" badge...... damn it....

13.2 .... on street tires....... I don't care what it looks like... that'* impressive for a sedan.....
