Mallard Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Do want. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/04/chrysler-300-srt805-1303137546.jpg With 465 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque on tap, the 300 SRT8 will easily sprint to 60 miles per hour in under five seconds, and all that grunt is managed by a five-speed automatic transmission, now enhanced with paddle shifters.

gaewsky1 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I like the white but I think I would hold off until next year when they get the 8 speed (and that is for most of Dodge/Chrysler vehicles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_f@ck_its_him Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 The head lights look like they came off an Audi exactly what I was thinking. Its badass. Hopefully the interior is better than previous generations. I drove one to Colorado a couple years ago and it was junk IHMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I like it because it doesn't have that fake RR/Bentley look anymore. Would be cool if the SRT8 was available in AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I had high hopes for the SRT8 Jeep, but I'm kind of disappointed in it since the unveiling yesterday. I see nothing that really impresses me about it. The front end looks goofy and not very well thought out. The hood also looks dumb, IMO. I hate the suede they put on the seats. The stereo does sound nice, however. Dash is lackluster. The engine sounds alright, but I think they should have went for a solid 500/500. And it it doesn't have the new 8 speed auto, then they've failed again. I think I'll wait til they drop the 8 speed in the regular jeeps and just buy a Limited.

AudiOn19s Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 IDK. I liked the origional better. Lost some of it's character with the new headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks too much like a Compass. But it should perform well. After driving a couple 6.4L cars, I can attest that it feels more like a 500 hp engine, and some chassis dyno's have agreed. The new 300C interior is a lot nicer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Chrysler had a great knack lately for producing cars that look awesome, make good power, but are otherwise pretty worthless if you care about handling, brakeing, or the actual driving experience.

Got-Boost? Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Says 0-60 in under 5seconds but the display says 5.1. It also better run a 12.1 @ 120mph or most people buying are getting there hopes up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark1647545493 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I've been a die hard Ford guy my entire life, but lately I would have no problem at all buying a new Chrysler car.
