[JBradley0181]

Been gone awhile...Since i sold the bike ive stayed around just looking over,reading posts looking at pictures you know what you do when you dont have a bike any longer lol.....So had to get a new car well not new just new to me and the wife...We got a 06 Chrysler 300C as of now we love it,has some speed to it nothing like the bikes but good enough as a family sedan..Any thoughts of the car good or bad i would love the ORGs input.



And if you need pics for those pic whores out there ill get some up in the am at work still and dont have any with me!!!

I've rented numerous 300c's on business travel. I like 'em; though I can't comment on their longevity or any such thing.

Love the styling cues.

Good luck and have fun, yo.

I assume its a hemi

Big Diesel has one. Supposed to be nice cars, they are based on an older E-class platform and this has contributed a lot to them holding up, driving decent, and riding good.

gonna put some "Dub Dueces" on it?

I have an 06 Heritage Edition. I have not had any problems with the car and have not had to have any repairs done other than routine maintenance ( and body work from someone running into the back of my car on I85). I've rented one before when out of town for business and in my opinion either get the Hemi or don't waste your time. It makes a huge difference. The car is super comfortable and fun to drive. It was killing me when gas was $4/gallon, but if the weather permits I usually commute to work on the Busa anyway.

you are correct sir

Amy owns one

he's also right

*amy is my wife*
she got an '06 300SRT8 and its never sat in the garage for more than 3weeks, and thats sayin alot livin in WI less than a mile from Lake Michigan-I've seen snow in the last two years over 2' high in the alley were I have to drive to park her 300. Im savin for snow tires this year, as I've heard from numerous guys on srt8oc.com that 18" rims w/Blizzaks are awesome on the 300s
Just put new summer tires on for now- Vredstein Ultrac Sessanta (say that three times fast) 275/40 ZR20s and they're awesome cant say enuf good about the suspension n brakes on this thing-its like driving a 4-door vette that, as Lurch put it so eloquently "Looks so f**kn Gangsta!"

only things that have broken on her 300 was driver's side foglight and the driver's mem. module for the seat controls. oh n every once n awhile...the windows/sunroof, when turning off car n trying to close w/one-touch auto controls...will reverse once closed n open again-weird

other than that-just sucks alotta gas

:6 Unfortunately or luckily ,depending on your point of view the SRT 8 does not come with fuel management system like the R/T but they are awesome cars

 

[Takeuon]

Well as long as you have the V-8 your in good shape. Because the 6-cylinder had/has nothing but problems.

??? cant verify but pretty sure SRTs have a cylinder-cut-off-freeway-thingie too...wifey reports 20+mpg freeway and I've gotten that myself by miles driven/measured vs. gas in tank. so cant say Im horrified by the mileage this thing gets......on the freeway
we wont mention what happens to the gas gauge at stoplights
probly make the Prius owners cry

The way I understood it when I looked into it was the 6.1 was not available with the MDS which was standard on the SRT8 but the 5.7 did have the MDS

could be wrong.:duuno: I was kinda surprised looks like the 300 has been pulled out of the 09 line up. I hope Chrysler survives they seem to make the nicest looking cars out there.
