They just got one in at the local dealer in black. I am hoping to test drive today. If you have one how do you like it overall? Obviously very fast, the interior is just not that great compared to the other cars I was looking at like the G35.

I guess they are only making 5000 per year so they are hard to find.

I seen a black one today, was stock except for 35% tint, it was totally non-ghetto. Looked very good, pretty high end seadan looking. I would definetly get one as a daily driver.

I just saw it, that car looks really elegant, and it won best of the best on Robb Report. Supposively its very fast, but I still think it looks pretty similar aside from the wheels and the badge in the back to the other Chrysler 300's

Has front foglights, rear lip spoiler and separate dual exhaust pipes. The one I was looking at was Black and I would get dark tint. One of the car mags describes the 300 as a John Dillinger getaway car.

interior is nasty...we have a non-SRT as they're not out here yet...
SRT has better color choices (in and out) and nicer wheels...
Power of course is a plus
I love the looks of the 300C....change the grill and slap some 22s on there and u a balla

Yeah,

If the interior was as nice as the G35 it would be a no brainer.

Well,

I just test drove that monster! Boy was that fun, been a long time since I smoked the rears at a stop light! Sucker will leave some nice long black patches! Get's up and goes for 4200 lbs.

If I didn't have a wife to answer to this car would probably be in my garage. But, if you don't keep Momma happy ain't no body happy.

If Momma ain't happy for long enough she will be unhappy with half your stuff!

Doubt this is going to fly for a winter beater.

Oh well the test drive was fun!

Haha, Winter beater get a Range Rover Westminister for a winter beater

The SRT/8 would be a nice daily driver, its elegent, not overlly expensive and has plenty of grunt out of the 6.2L Hemi.
