Replying to: xando05 (Jun 08, 2007 5:48 pm) 1. Ride is smooth for a car with 20" 2. I got around 15 with city and hwy 3. Yes (at least in CA) and it's part of the MSRP 4. Don't have any problem with the stone chip. I thought about installing a clear bra but didn't. 5. I would say the material and design of the itnerior is below average, especially when you compare it to European or highend Japanese car. I think the 300C SRT8 gives you the best bang for your buck. |

Under the TSB for scored rotors? I had mine replaced for free by chrysler a month ago. Got fresh pads too. I am told they will reduce stopping distance a bit and defin. resist fade through better heat dissipation. One thing that hasn't changed .... tons of brake dust all over the wheels. |

An unamed srvice manager told me that if he installs the chip he will honor the warranty no questions asked. If however I go in for work at another deal he recomends disconnecting the chip. Some questions for the board- 1. Will there be any trace of the change once the chip is disconected? 2. How much is performance improved? 3. What would be the HP/Torque increases? Thanks |

Replying to: shoeboy23 (Jun 04, 2007 2:48 pm) Why mess with all the stock wiring. At least listen on the test drive before you buy. 2. The reverse assistance works as advertised. And is helpful 3. No idea about 08 4. I got used to the joystick quickly and prefer it to touchscreen. 5. I ran with a BMW 550 up to 130 before a car came up in my lane. Was a blast. Also smoked an EVO and an STI.

is there a place to plug in an IPOD? if so, where is it? I have a friend with a BMW 750 and his connection hides in the arm rest (center consol). i really hope its not an outlet in the face of the dash, i don't want a wire from my radio to where ever i decide to put my IPOD. also is there a cigerette lighter/outlet in the center consol, also a feature i like in many new rides, so convenient for charging cellphones etc. Thanks a ton!

Replying to: shoeboy23 (Jul 09, 2007 12:45 am) People are getting unbelievable deals on 06's NEW many with under 50 miles. I've heard reports of $35k plus tax (and not a stripped one either) You may want to do yourself the favor of checking it out now. I would not think there would be all that many changes for 08 as 2006 was effectively the first year for the SRT They made only a few in 2005 so I don't even count it. The front seats are heated, not cooled. For cooled seats with this kind of performance, you are gonna be in BMW 550 or merc E550 territory and I will venture to say you'll be looking at quite a bit more than $35k or even $40k. Take a look at www.300cforums.com You will learn so much about the car there. terrirtory |

You out-muscle a 550i by 65HP and 60 lbs/ft and all you did was "ran with it?"  Something's wrong there. You should've effectively dusted him. Granted, the SRT-8 has brickish aerodynamics, but that power advantage should've more than compensated.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Jul 11, 2007 6:30 am) keep in mind 550 runs a 1/4 in 13.5 (it is no slouch) And yes I admit I spotted him two lengths b/c I got cocky Another thing: 550's more agressive gearing allows it to wind up faster. Drive one and you will see what I mean.
