You are in the Chrysler 300/300C/300C SRT-8 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| I certainly would agree that any MB AMG car is better overall than the 300C SRT-8, but you can't discount the cost factor. I owned a C-class MB AMG car and it was a great vehicle, but very expensive to purchase and maintain. I now lease a 2007 300C SRT-8 for less than $500/month (with NO money down) for 36 months, and based on that price the value is just about unbeatable (cheap interior and all).. | |

If one has the 'Gots To Have Its Now' so bad that their willing to pay $10,000 over list, there's possibly some unrealistic expectations at the outset. My $0.02. -David |

| I believe all dealers put at least $5K mark up over sticker on those SRT8 (Magnum/300C/Charger). However, when you email/call dealer's fleet manager you will start from a few hundreds over the invoice. | |
The Jet chip install is pretty simple and does not involve additional programming. The computer module is located under an access panel on the passenger side firewall under the hood. Disconnect the battery in the trunk. Remove the cover then the bolts holding the module down and it slips up and out of its firewall location. You remove all the connectors, which will free the module, be careful, the tabs break off easily. Place the computer module on a flat surface and install the Jet chip in place of the connector. Reinstall the module taking care to plug all of the connectors in their sockets. They are all keyed and different sizes. Reconnect the battery and turn the key on to make sure you have a normal display and then start the car. It will need to be driven for the computer to measure all the sensors. Then blast off!

I am a huge fan of the 300 SRT8 and will probably be getting one in October of this year(2007). I do have a few questions about the car though.  1) is the Kicker sound system nice or should i get it with out and put in my own? 2) is the Reverse assistance just the mirrors moving, or is there a rear camera that shows whats behind you on the screen if you have the navigation? 3)does anyone know if there will be many differences in the 2008? does anyone know when the 08 will be released? 4) is it just me or is the fact that the Navigation has a little joystick as apposed to touchscreen kinda weak? hmmm am I leaving anything out?

LED's light up as you get closer to something and then finally a buzzer as you get too close. Works pretty good. Would be nice to have them in front too so that you don't smack the front spoiler into the curb or have to park 10 feet back in fear of smacking it. No rear camera navigation system. You need to by something like a Suburban if you want that. 3)Not sure 4) Touch screen would have been much nicer but you get used to it. 5)Raced a Nissan 350 ZX last week and smoked him every which way possible

No news from Chrysler 4. Yes, it has a little joystick and from what I heard it's very breakable. At least you don't have to deal with the fingerprint on the screen. 5. don't ever buy one at MSRP. |

I currently drive a pearl white 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe loaded to the gills with options and features. I'm in the market for new wheels and am considering many new cars such as: '08 BMW 535i, '08 550i, '08 Subaru Legacy 3.0R, '08 Nissan Maxima 3.5SE, '08 Infiniti M45. I've been eyeing the 300 SRT-8 for quite some time and continue to adore this car everytime I see it on the road. 1. How rough is the ride with stock 20" wheels? 2. What is the real world MPG? 3. Does the SRT-8 carry a gas guzzler tax? Is it built into the MSRP? 4. Is the paint durable from say stone chips, road debris on the front end such as the hood and quarter panels? 5. What about the quality of fit and finish? Interior materials, rattles, squeaks, etc. I'm used to owning and driving quality japanese cars in the past so my expectations are very high.
