Newb from Nashport

Hey guys thanks for the add. Heard about this forum from a friend.

 

Name is Andy, I live in Nashport now (Between Newark and Zanesville) originally from Newark. Have been a car lover my whole life, and have always wanted something pretty fast but never had the chance. Always had Silverado's untill I bought my first car this year.

 

I drive a 2008 Chrysler 300c SRT Design. It is a 5.7 HEMI car with factory performance stuff, like stiffer suspension, performance steering, better flowing exhaust, and 20 inch rims factory. Rated at 350 HP instead of the usual 340 HP for that year.

 

Performance wise it is pretty stock, I have a 180* Thermostat and a Diablosport Predator tune on it. I spent a bunch of cash on visual mods right away, and then a friend got me on the drag strip at National Trails for the first time and well the rest is history. I am no addicted to it!

 

Looks wise, I swapped the stock 5.7 300c fascia for a SRT8 fascia, installed a 300 SRT8 rear fascia as well. Put on some LED DRL lights, and projector fog lights. Had a couple different grilles for the car. Also put on some 20x9 SRT Core rims with 255/45 Continental DWS Extrem Contacts all around. Had a couple custom badges made up and put on a 2nd Gen Chrysler wing on the trunk.

 

I am FAR from done with looks and performance of course. I am regularly at NTR whenever I can, and have done a couple best runs of 13.864 @ 100 and 13.865 @ 101. I dont think that is bad for a 4400 lb car on 20 inch rims. Although the bigger SRT8 6.1 Hemi will run low 13s.....

 

 

Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks for the add.

 

Here are a couple pics of the car....

Completely stock...
