i plan on waiting til OCT. for the 08 and will prolly get everything except the dvd player in the back seat. i dont care for the screen coming out of the back of the center consol. i must admit....i am a gadget and button guy. are there seat warmers and coolers? i love cooling seats...but very few cars have them.
 
so there isnt a little audio in jack anywhere ? in the face of the dash (radio) or in the consol? boo, thats huge for me. i love me some ipod.

If you don't need the window sticker to say 2008 on it
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.

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.

 
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.

True enough.
 
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.

Yeah, I've driven a 550i, and it is fast. HOWEVER, I've also driven an E550, and it makes the 550i seem slow! If you get caught sleeping at the light against one of those bad boys... That 7-speed tranny does wonders for the giddyup! Anyway, my point is that after driving the E550, my perspective of the 550i's swiftness is a little off.

Haven't had a chance to sample the new 7-spd
 
Last Merc I drove was the SL 65
 
Fastest car I will ever drive for sure,
but felt surprising unstable above 120
 
I'm sure it is well enginered, perhaps I'm just not used to a wheelbase that short.

I have a 06 300C with 22K miles. Went on first long trip and noticed "shimmy and shake" when applying brakes. Took to dealer all rotors have runout .013" front, .020 rear. Is this unusual after only 22K miles? Defect in rotors or just have them turned?

I have a 06 300c and had to have rear rotors and pads replaced at 17,800 miles after descending along hill in Watkins Glen NY and having the rotors warp from heat on the way down.Now 24,700 I have warped rotors again, but maybe the fronts. Does anyone make abetter rotor for this car that you know of.

I have an '06 300C.
I noticed during a recent trip with lots of road construction it was necessary to keep my foot on the brake for periods of 5 minutes or longer. This caused for the EPS/BASS Light to come on. It would go out after restarting the engine.
I had it to the Dealer twice and showed him by keeping the brake pedal depressed the warning light would come on.
They replaced the switched again today and it did not correct the problem.
Can anyone help?
