Replying to: silverrush (Jan 15, 2005 5:50 pm) I'm torn between the SRT-8 & the 'regular' 300C. I'm sure I'll have to pay way over the MSRP for the SRT-8, plus the mileage is so bad. I'm already driving a 12-14 MPG Durango R/T! How was your puchase experience? Did you use Chrysler Financing? Could you use cash as leverage?

Does anyone fear the transmission breaking with all of that torque? 425 lb. ft of torque is a lot for an automatic trans to hold up to. I know the old 727 Torque Flights of the 60's and 70's weren't a problem because of their size and the heavy duty parts they used. They also track tested them on the drag strips so when they broke they can improve for the street. I'm waiting for a few blow ups before I lay my money down on one of these. I love this car and the Magnum SRT. If it came with the Viper 6 speeed I can see no problem , after all that and the Ram SRT10 is putting 500 lb. ft through the gears. Just leary of all that power and a weak trans. Replies to this message: srt300 (Jan 25, 2005 3:18 pm) jimhemi (Jan 26, 2005 7:09 am) srt300 (Jan 26, 2005 7:42 am)

After seeing this car in person at Detroit you come away with a feeling that American car industry just might survive afterall. The 300C was already hot, but the SRT-8 version looks like the orignal show car, 20-inch wheels and all. Simply stunning. The interior is pretty good too.   M

The car is great from what I have read, but the asking price will be around $15,000.00 over sticker! I am scheduled for a test drive next month when my dealer will have its first delivery.

Replying to: pscdoc (Jan 25, 2005 10:53 am) Where do you live? I was told the SRT would be for sale in the spring! What is the price the dealer is asking and were you able to order one? I live in Massachusetts,lots of snow here! Replies to this message: pscdoc (Jan 25, 2005 3:25 pm) srt300 (Jan 25, 2005 7:31 pm) pscdoc (Jan 25, 2005 10:56 pm)

Replying to: jimhemi (Jan 24, 2005 11:54 am) If the transmission is like the one in the E55-AMG it will hold up just fine! I bet the SRT has alot of German parts in it,since we know who owns Chrysler!! Replies to this message: jimhemi (Jan 26, 2005 7:09 am) srt300 (Jan 26, 2005 7:42 am)

Replying to: srt300 (Jan 25, 2005 3:12 pm) I live in southern Cali. and I was at my dealer this morning getting my '05 ltd. chrysler pacifica its regular maintenance. I talked to the sales rep there and they are getting 1 Metallic Black SRT8 next month (mind you this is a 5 star dealer who moves alot of inventory). I have not ordered one just yet, but am waiting for the call for the test drive. It depends how much I like the vehicle, I may bite the bullet and pay what they are asking. This is going to be one hard vehicle to find, let alone buy! Replies to this message: srt300 (Jan 25, 2005 7:31 pm) pscdoc (Jan 25, 2005 10:56 pm)

Replying to: pscdoc (Jan 25, 2005 3:25 pm) I got lucky and placed an order last week here in the Boston area! I was told the price would be the sticker price and it was a silver SRT with all the options! I hope it arrives in early April when all the snow is gone.

Replying to: srt300 (Jan 25, 2005 7:31 pm) Hmm....I am VERY suprised that you were able to secure such a price. I mean I am pretty sure most if not all dealers will add a hefty mark up on this vehicle and yes people will probably pay it. Well I hope that price sticks...let us know if it actually ends with that happy ending. Good luck.

I had a dealer here in Northern Ca offer to sell me one at msrp if I were to pre-order now. Paying over MSRP is for those with more money than brains.
