Yeah I guess if you were to tear the motor apart and rebuild it with some custom parts you could make some pretty good power . well let me know how it works out for you guys. But I still think the C with its RWD V8 engine should do a number to the M . Dont get me wrong I really love the M but I really REALLY like the C .

The money spent on hopping a FWD 300M might be better spent buying a Hemi powered 300C. Certainly more cost effective.

300micheal - I doubt that the 300C w/ 3.5 will be slower than the a stock M. An improved drivetrain will likely make up for a little extra weight although I wish they would tweak the engine a little. "...a larger Cirrus," - If somebody orders their C w/ a 2.7L, cloth interior and only the bare essentials, then apparently they were looking for a larger Cirrus.   intrepidspirit - The C appeals to this 300M owner.   Had a chance to see it in person recently at the State Fair of Texas. It's definitely love-hate styling. Things that really stood out were the short overhang in the back and the grill. It will grow on folks similar to the CTS or FX or Maxima.   Size, power, & stand out in the crowd (in a good way) styling. Sign me up.
#59 of 4893 6.1? by rusty104 Oct 24, 2003 (4:37 am)
Otto, what info do you have on the 6.1. Will it be going into the Magnum as part of the SRT package? Or will it just be going into the "C"? Do you know what the hp and torque numbers will be and when they will be dropping that bad boy into the "C" and/or Magnum. Thanks for the info.
#60 of 4893 The DC lineup by beespecial Oct 24, 2003 (11:40 am)
First off I must say that I’m more than a little P.O.’d that DC saw fit to discontinue the 300M which in my opinion is the best looking car on the street. Being an M owner, my opinion of course, is biased. Now to weigh in on the 300C and Pacifica. My first impressions of both, only by pictures, were much less than enthusiastic. With the Pacifica I felt they were trying for a revival of the ‘Station Wagon’. But after seeing a one up close I am warming up to it. When Dodge redesigned its trucks with the bold front grille I had a similar reaction. I thought it was ugly as sin. But I soon began to like it more and more. And I don’t even LIKE trucks. Now after seeing a few more pictures of the 300C my initial reaction is starting to fade. I’m anxious to get close to one so I can really check it out. I think my opinion of the C will change favorably once I see one in person. I hope that DC has some sort of muscle-car planned for its lineup in the coming years. With the revival of the Hemi, I think something along the lines of a ’69 Roadrunner or a ’70 Hemi Cuda would get some of DCs market share back.
#61 of 4893 Anyone know why 300C Touring not be available in N.A.? by 10and2 Oct 24, 2003 (1:41 pm)
Does anyone have any idea why DC will only be selling the Chrysler 300C Touring, which appears to be kind of a little more upscale Dodge Magnum SRT-8, outside of North America? I mean, they're building the thing in N.A. And it isn't unusual for Chrysler to offer its own version of a Dodge product. Why not in this case? Personally I think the 300C Touring would compete much better against some of the import competition. I thought it was sharp.
#62 of 4893 DC lineup by rusty104 Oct 24, 2003 (3:19 pm)
I don't own an "M", beespecial, but I always thought the styling of it was sweet. Not like all other cars, but a real head turner. I think the new DC lineup will be as impressive to you the more you see them. So many cars out there all look the same, it is nice to see something different. I think it was time for a change back to rwd too. With the technology today, it makes sense. Its not like the days when all you had was limited slip differential.
#63 of 4893 New England auto show 11/1-11/9 by rusty104 Oct 25, 2003 (12:10 pm)
There is supposed to be a 300C at the auto show starting next Saturday. I don't know if it will be the concept or pre-production model. In either case, I am anxious to see it.
#64 of 4893 Touring in North America by oedipus1608 Oct 25, 2003 (3:12 pm)
The 300C Touring will not be sold in America the demand for expensive wagons in America pales in comparrison to that of Europe. If I am correct, 33% of all cars sold in Europe are wagons. Hence, selling the 300C and the 300C Touring in Europe was only only logical.
#65 of 4893 I read that 80%....... by andys120 Oct 25, 2003 (3:17 pm)
of Audis sold in Europe are Avants (wagons). It's funny how this all-American automotive form has become so popular on the Continent while virtually abandoned here.
