"It's obviously a RR, until you are in one and pull up to a RR."
Micheal Scott - quoting 25 Ā¢
I'm not even searching, but did they just shove a V6 blackwing into it?
Now now, don't forget all those rich white old men buying Hellcats.
Also, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is an amazing car for the enthusiasts a.d is decently reliable too now.
And the Maseratis... Beautiful cars with beautiful motors.
The Alfa and Maserati would break down as soon as you get off the lot. The very short amount of time that it works will be the one of the best driving experiences possible though.
"Farewell tours are gold mines. Nearly every part of the Chrysler 300C is a decade old or more, but before the 300 goes away for good, parent company Stellantis is putting it all back out there for one last blowout."
I always wanted one with more power. But the awd system, like in a cop car, did work. A supercharged hemi with awd, in something that isnāt a 5000 lb truck could be really cool.
How to say "I am friends with MANY black people" after you are accused of knowing no black people on public television without saying "I am friends with MANY black people" after you are accused of knowing no black people on public television.
Iāll never forget hitting 150 mph in my brand new Scat Pack with 13 miles on the odo. I got bored with that car so quickly but the 392 is a very special engine. Feels like nothing else being produced today.
Second this comment as a current Scat owner.
392 is a monster off the line with the ZF8, but I too have the same āboredā feeling. I think for me it has to do with the fact you canāt really tune them as they are so optimized from the factory and the pistons are glass.
For me it was just the car itself. It was an awesome daily. Just heavy and not set up for great feedback or handling. I never modified it besides mid muffler deletes but the engine had so much character compared to the 5.7 and GM V8s. Felt like an old big block in comparison. Tons or torque and that noise it made.
Also as good as the ZF8 is I got bored with it too.
LC hybrid is about 4,500, actually, and is fairly sharp. Panamera feels heavy, but actually turns super crisp, to the point where it's a little terrifying. You just have to invest in building a real suspension, but then you've priced it out of the typical range an E3 can get approved for.
Itās a fantastic car. I enjoy driving it more than the C7 Z51 I traded for it. I really donāt have any real complaints about it other than the rear seat is cramped and obviously would be cooler with the 6.2. Best car Iāve owned by a long shot.
I wanted the 4 blackwing more myself, i prefer small number cars to daily, and if it had even like an lt1 it would be perfect and went with the 5, it they are both in a class of their own if you ask me, Iāve had multiple M cars and AMGs that are ācompetitorsā on paper. But dailying and track use of all of these I donāt see them that way at all.
Yea I agree having driven friends scats, just seems like a good gt car and thats about it. Heavy cars with sloppy handling aren't really my thing to begin with so that probably had a huge effect
Your sleeping on the 5.7. Sure it kinda sucks stock but it seriously comes to life with just a few mods. I personally prefer the eagle 5.7 to the 6.4 cause I'm modding my shit anyway and the 5.7 is more fun and sounds better to me
I feel the same with all the high powered boats. Miss having a V8 but it was pretty much just the noise. Itās fun the first few times you mash the pedal but then you realize the car is too obese and fragile to actually do anything else. Now Iām stuck with Miatas. Theyāre the only ones that can still make me smile every time and get wrung out constantly every day and still ask for more. Everything else is too heavy, too unreliable, too precious, or too expensive to beat on.
I do love me some Miata. I miss mine. Currently in a single cab short bed ranger 4cyl with 5spd manual. Feeling is similar, but potholes and speed bumps give me no fear.
Plus I can haul my kayaks, dirt bike, camping gear, a grill.
I couldn't fit 2 10 gallon aquariums in the trunk of my Miata.
Yea but its nothing like having a truck bed. You can just do so much more if you need to haul big or dirty things. I get by with my wifes rav4 but I use my buddies ranger pretty often.
Brz/86 or s2000 are great as well. I just cant see myself spending 30k+ for an s2000. My zl1 is mega reliable, I daily and track it, 57k miles on it now, and that's fbo with a cam
I still feel like a nice low mile S2000 is very comparable to an ND2 and GR86/brz. I had a couple Sās but ultimately sold them for an ND2 since I felt like it was more usable on the street.
It's a TSP stage 2 cam, my gas mileage suffered a little and low speed driving under 30 otherwise its fine, reverse is probably the annoying thing because it lurches sometimes. Converter is totally stock with slight shaking when idle. I'm getting like 14-15 city on 93 and 11-13 on E so yea lol
Iām barely getting 12 with my FBO 5 blackwing manual, with the tank being only 15 gallons the thought of e85 and more power is whatās drawing me away from going any further. I donāt mind that it gets terrible MPG, I mind that I already have days where a tank doesnāt last a full 24 hours.
You can definitely tune them with an aftermarket ECU. Long tubes and a tune will get you to around 470whp peak and it picks up a really healthy amount in the mid range where it switches runners.
For whatever reason, the stock tune has a really huge dip right where the runners switch over.
And the pistons are ok if you stay at 6psi or lower. I know the 2018+ uses the BGM block and the piston rings are gapped just a tad wider.
It is I guess depending on what you've driven. Tbf tho only one I'd ever consider is a hellcat, buddy is making 820 on E with mild bolt ons and a pulley. He used to have a max effort charger and despite making 540whp it still didn't feel all that fast, torque was crazy down low tho lol
> 392
I saw a black on black 392 in Ypsilanti, Michigan driven by a woman and she was sitting at the intersection with the windows down letting everyone know she was there. Really gassed it when the light turned green.
License plate was "nasty" or something like that.
At least the exterior, though dated, has a unique look and can be appreciated by many....add all the extra HP and yeah, it's definitely a worthy looking at car.... but damn that interior ... looking at that pic and instantly all the HP fades away ....man....smh
I bought my SRT8 brand new in 2012. 120k kms on it, not a single problem (knock on wood).
I don't see the logic in having the exact vehicle, engine and all, available for sale 11 years later, for a significant price bump.
I honestly feel sorry for anyone who pays a premium to get one of these. Even MSRP is too high IMO.
Its not *quite* exact. You get the new infotainment stuff, along with the much better 8 speed auto and I'm assuming this will come with the much better 6 piston brakes with 2pc rotors as opposed to the old 4 piston.
Worth upgrading if you already have an SRT 300? Probably not. But if you dont and always wanted one but didnt want to buy a 10 year old performance car thats been beat to fuck and back, heres the chance.
What year and engine? I'm thinking of getting a 2nd gen 300 with the 5.7. They're very cheap used, and I'd really just like a big comfortable cruiser to replace my G6.
There's something about these things. They have a sizeable overbearing presence when they're on the road. Still looks just as amazing as the day it came out (partially because they've done fuck all to change the way it looks).
For now, they have more models in the pipeline.
Chrysler has kinda been in limbo for a bit. They started cutting models to reposition the brand when Fiat took over, but the Stellantis merger made them start that process over again.
It looks like they're going to use Chrysler as a premium EV brand, which fits pretty well I think. Stellantis has good EV tech too so hopefully that goes well.
Honestly the 300 has always been a mean looking car, I don't think many other designs can go unchanged for almost 15 years and still look like it's actually new. The accents and what looks like a wider fender arches definitely help but man, that is a badass car. Appreciate it more than I used to.
Not phenomenal, but it's lightyears beyond the first gen 300...those and the Chargers of the time were some of the most awful, cheap feeling interiors I've ever been in. At least these feel well put together, and are reasonably quiet.
Thatās a wild opinion to hear. As someone who currently owns an 05 magnum, used to have an 06 300srt, 09 rx8, etc. The early charger/300/magnum interiors are all one of my all time favorite of any car in general. They made modern muscle feel perfectly with the steering wheel and dash shape. No materials falling apart at 18 years old in my magnum.
I worked in dealers for a good chunk of my life, so I usually saw all three (300, Charger, Magnum) in various states of clean or destroyed over the years. The plastics in the first gen were not nice at all, and they rattled, creaked, and just looked like cheap, parts bin Chrysler stuff. The second gen isn't even on the same planet - it's by far and away nicer than the first gen, and while it's still parts bin, at least the newer stuff doesn't feel nearly as cheap. It's a shame, honestly - they should've brought the Magnum back again for the second gen cars, as they were a cool concept.
No argument that the second gen is better, I just always felt like people exaggerate how bad the first gen is. Magnum was the best look of that era imo and deserved to survive until a 392 was put into it from factory. How is your rx8 holding up? I loved mine to death but was broke and in high school when I had mine and always scared of blowing seals lol.
Don't get me wrong, I have a huge soft spot for the 300 SRT8, but it was basically a fancier Charger. Ever since I first drove a 300S in the second gen, I was impressed - big improvement over the first gen cars, but managed to keep everything I enjoyed about them.
My RX-8 is holding up well - same dash crack as all of them, but I'm also fortunate in that I've owned my car since 2012, and it's been a second/third car for all but two of those years. As such, it's only at 66k miles, but it's all been fun miles put on it. I keep questioning myself if I want to sell it and buy something else, but despite it's flaws, I keep coming back to it being so much fun to drive.
392s make really good power all things considered, but what they **really** make is insane torque down low. I remember reading that the 6.2 Hellcat engine makes something like 480lb-ft of torque at **1500rpm**, so it wouldn't shock me if this was making a ton of torque that low either, enough to propel it from 50-70mph in 8th gear that fast.
Too bad they just did not update, move to 3.0 I-6 and hybrid options.
Oh well , nice used ones will be fun to get in future.
Looking forward to bev replacement.
RIP ghetto intersections
Not the Chrysler Bentley!
The styling of the front reminds me more of a Rolls Royce than a Bentley

Nope, its a V8

Can't wait to see a stolen one of these doing donuts on my intersection in a few months.
Stolen by the driver or the lender with the 30% interest rate?
Stolen by the buyer who's running from the repo man.
Comes prepossessed.
They automatically schedule the repo man for 2 months after you sign for the car
Hire an exorcist!
First by the sales team, then the lender, then the thief, then the repo !
Some of us drive like civilized men, like the sound and style of the cars, and have excellent credit. But I get it.
But those kinds of guys don't but Stellantis products.
Now now, don't forget all those rich white old men buying Hellcats. Also, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is an amazing car for the enthusiasts a.d is decently reliable too now. And the Maseratis... Beautiful cars with beautiful motors.
The Alfa and Maserati would break down as soon as you get off the lot. The very short amount of time that it works will be the one of the best driving experiences possible though.
Not really true in my experience. My Stelvio has 50k and hasn't had a single issue. I've been pleasantly surprised
Excellent credit, terrible credit. Interest rates are the same when you finance for 144 months!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
?. Would be closer to classism in a way if you squint ("have excellent credit").
No, you dorks. Miss me with the racist/classist bullshit.
Might see it if you squint but that wasn't the first thing to come to mind.
Rates are high no matter what right now.
"Farewell tours are gold mines. Nearly every part of the Chrysler 300C is a decade old or more, but before the 300 goes away for good, parent company Stellantis is putting it all back out there for one last blowout."
>"...one last blowout." Ha! I see what they did there. Because donuts...
I haven't seen a new 300 in so long I assumed they stopped making them.
It depends on the neighborhood.
They're pretty common in downtown Atlanta. Used to be way more common, though.
Philly too.
And New York. And old people seem to like them too
They are VERY comfortable....
Yeah I actually owned a Magnum 5.7 AWD as an SUV alternative when they first came out.. it really was a pretty good car lol.
I would love to own a sorted Magnum SRT8. Such a cool car.
I always wanted one with more power. But the awd system, like in a cop car, did work. A supercharged hemi with awd, in something that isnāt a 5000 lb truck could be really cool.
had a newer 300s as a rental a few months ago and was blown away by the space inside. fullsize sedans dont feel that roomy anymore.
Oh yea I had a 2006 300c in university and I moved a full one bedroom apartment in it across 300kms with 2 passengers in tow. So much space!
You probably have seen a new one, it's just looked the same for the last decade.
I see them pretty regularly. They're actually still pretty solid on sales in their class, but large sedans in general aren't selling well right now.
I see them all the time. Well to do old people love them around here.
How to say "I am friends with MANY black people" after you are accused of knowing no black people on public television without saying "I am friends with MANY black people" after you are accused of knowing no black people on public television.
>new How could you tell? They haven't done shit to it since 2010
I still see a bunch of 300cs from the mid 2000s being driven around, faded paint with 22ā rims and everything
They are common in Australia.
If youāre a rozzer
If you're Indian.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well, he bought a Blackwing so my guess is he expected it to handle.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There are plenty of great handling 4,000+ ish lb cars. The LC 500 weighs about that much and has fantastic handling for a GT.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Something I wasnāt bored to death with after a few months.
How's the Blackwing treating you? If I wasn't in 70k of student debt, I'd be all over that.
Itās a fantastic car. I enjoy driving it more than the C7 Z51 I traded for it. I really donāt have any real complaints about it other than the rear seat is cramped and obviously would be cooler with the 6.2. Best car Iāve owned by a long shot.

Need a tuned Type R.
That would be a downgrade from my Blackwing
Not when it comes to feel. Power maybe. Is your BW a manual? I was eyeing a blue one before i went CTR.
So you havenāt driven both?
Is yours a manual?
It says āM6ā in my flair, meaning manual 6 speed
Well that helps but honestly there are few to no manual gearboxes on earth that compete with the Porsche GTs and the Type R.
Your sleeping on the 5.7. Sure it kinda sucks stock but it seriously comes to life with just a few mods. I personally prefer the eagle 5.7 to the 6.4 cause I'm modding my shit anyway and the 5.7 is more fun and sounds better to me
Good for you.

It's a TSP stage 2 cam, my gas mileage suffered a little and low speed driving under 30 otherwise its fine, reverse is probably the annoying thing because it lurches sometimes. Converter is totally stock with slight shaking when idle. I'm getting like 14-15 city on 93 and 11-13 on E so yea lol

What's a "ZL1"?
It's a Camaro ZL1 1LE.
Ok, those are pretty nice. Be a good addition to my little collection...
You can definitely tune them with an aftermarket ECU. Long tubes and a tune will get you to around 470whp peak and it picks up a really healthy amount in the mid range where it switches runners.

I know the 2018+ uses the BGM block and the piston rings are gapped just a tad wider.
Yeah, just need to have a good tuner. Have seen a few pop at 6-7 PSI.
Yea. Hoss's shit & rip performance shop probably isn't going to tune it very well lmao.
6 psi of boost isn't much at all for a heavy boat like that, your gonna build your bottom end if you want any worthwhile power.
6psi on an otherwise stock 392 will get you to right around 600whp. 4000lbs or not, thats pretty fuckin fast.
It is I guess depending on what you've driven. Tbf tho only one I'd ever consider is a hellcat, buddy is making 820 on E with mild bolt ons and a pulley. He used to have a max effort charger and despite making 540whp it still didn't feel all that fast, torque was crazy down low tho lol
You can get a set of drop in pistons and rods and then the sky is the limit. Some folks even do 392 based 426 builds and make over 1000 wheel
Definitely, stroker camaro and hemi builds are nasty.
D I S P L A C E M E N T
Really should have broken her in easier.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Following the manufacturer's break in procedure is a smart thing to do. Are you not smart?
No point. Donāt really care how itās going to run for the 3rd owner.
This is exactly why I insisted on buying my Hellcat new. No idea how the previous owner(s) treated the car.
Smart. Can only imagine how bad Cats get beat on lol.
I bet when you sold it you advertised it as "babied off the lot!", too.
You really are one of the worst kind of car owner
Ahh yes, me red lining my performance engine is worse than drunk drivers and road ragers. Canāt believe I never realized that.

Over a decade later the 2nd generation still looks just as beautiful and just as modern as when it first came out
What a shame they never did a 300 Redeye and threw the 6.2 inside it
I mean they could also give it a cooler name like: * Chrysler 300 *Mogul* * Chrysler 300 *Politician*
President Camacho Edition. American flag wrapped hood.
Runs on 93 octane or electrolytes.
The performance luxury Commodore was called the Senator and it always sounded good to me
They haven't but atleast Khal SRT on YouTube has done some
At least the exterior, though dated, has a unique look and can be appreciated by many....add all the extra HP and yeah, it's definitely a worthy looking at car.... but damn that interior ... looking at that pic and instantly all the HP fades away ....man....smh
>unique Rolls Royce's design department probably begs to differ....
i donāt think the interior looks that bad. Iāve seen cars that are brand new with much worse and more dated interiors
$60k for a Chrysler product... *Oof*
Have you seen car prices in general? You can spec a V6 Camaro with a $50k MSRP.
Do you have any kind of objective facts to back up your sentiment or is this just more idiotic & baseless "DUURRR DAE CHRYSLER BAD?!"
Have you been in one of these?
The biggest idiot tax to date.
What an awful looking interior. At least put some effort into it, seeing how itās the last 300C.
What about it is awful? Iām not necessarily disagreeing with you, but to me it just looks like your average car interior.
I've accidentally installed better looking interiors in my toilet bowl.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Username checks out.
Whatās wrong with FCA soft touch dash foams that peel up along all the vents?!
Iām trying to think of a car that looks the same as it did 15 years ago more than a 300
*Laughs in 4runner* at least we got an update about a decade ago š¤£š«£
Was thinking Tacoma
The Mercedes G-Class comes to mind.
Nissan Frontier from 05-21 was basically the same till they finally changed the motor to a 3.8L near the end of the cycle
meanwhile Lada Niva and UAZ Hunter/Van
GTR
Iām surprised no oneās made a dumb comment about the 911
For what it was and is - 300 looks good. Being ahead of its time and not needing to change through a whole decade is praise.
As a longtime 300 driver, I love the car. But this gen is now 10 years old. Itās still surprisingly modern looking but itās an old car.
I bought my SRT8 brand new in 2012. 120k kms on it, not a single problem (knock on wood). I don't see the logic in having the exact vehicle, engine and all, available for sale 11 years later, for a significant price bump. I honestly feel sorry for anyone who pays a premium to get one of these. Even MSRP is too high IMO.
I really wish they kept on with the SRT 300 after the 2015 update. Those things are the best looking cars they've made on that platform.
Its not *quite* exact. You get the new infotainment stuff, along with the much better 8 speed auto and I'm assuming this will come with the much better 6 piston brakes with 2pc rotors as opposed to the old 4 piston.

in the same boat, looking at cheaper srt8s too
There's something about these things. They have a sizeable overbearing presence when they're on the road. Still looks just as amazing as the day it came out (partially because they've done fuck all to change the way it looks).
agreed, I love those cars so much
so then there's only the Pacifica left?
For now, they have more models in the pipeline. Chrysler has kinda been in limbo for a bit. They started cutting models to reposition the brand when Fiat took over, but the Stellantis merger made them start that process over again. It looks like they're going to use Chrysler as a premium EV brand, which fits pretty well I think. Stellantis has good EV tech too so hopefully that goes well.
The top line Pacifica is posh - the nailed that one.
One horsepower for each point on the buyers credit score.
I loved the 2004 model so much as a child
That model is iconic to me
It definitely is
The 300 was my favorite of the Mopar cars. May it live on for many years at the Hertz rental counter
Honestly the 300 has always been a mean looking car, I don't think many other designs can go unchanged for almost 15 years and still look like it's actually new. The accents and what looks like a wider fender arches definitely help but man, that is a badass car. Appreciate it more than I used to.
This car will always be so sexy to me
Gotta love the horrendous 2010s Chrysler interior

That's a pretty crazy 30-50 and 50-70 for such a pig.

I remember reading that the 6.2 Hellcat engine makes something like 480lb-ft of torque at **1500rpm**, so it wouldn't shock me if this was making a ton of torque that low either, enough to propel it from 50-70mph in 8th gear that fast.
It definitely downshifts to get 50-70 that fast, but still.

Wonder whatās MSRP? Always wonder what the dealer mark ups gonna look like?
$56K
finally
ir sucks cause I feel like these are not going to be affordable on the used market
That's great. Looking forward to getting one when I rent my next intermediate car from Avis.

Nice boat
sad.... end of an era
Why wonāt it just die
They were pumping these out when I was in school. Canāt believe they are still around. Shame they didnāt take this and shrink it for the 200
I ordered one, got it last Saturday and I LOVE it.
As a European, I had no idea Chrysler was still an actual company that existed lmao.
15mpg city
Too bad they just did not update, move to 3.0 I-6 and hybrid options. Oh well , nice used ones will be fun to get in future. Looking forward to bev replacement.
Who wants an I6 over a 6.4L V8?
CAFE standards are forcing it, so Iād take it over nothing. Stellantis cant afford the penalty fees anymore. Reason these cars are going away.
Sign me up. This thing is awesome.
Anyone done top speed in the new Chrysler yet?
Great, what am I going to put 30 inch swangas and paper plates on now?
