Car security system gone too far?
Car security system gone too far?
Honestly, as the owner of an SRT8 300, its hard to tell if a curb or parking stop is too tall to clear the nose. Even after owning it for ~6 years, I have to double check. The car is long enough that you will want to pull it in as much as you can, to keep the ass out of the road.
Same Deal. 425HP, 0-60 in 4.9 (with me the idiot at the wheel), a growling angry 6.1L V8, and the only way in hell you know it from a 2.7L sludge-making v6 equipped 300 is a few minor exterior differences. Dual exhaust tips, bigger wheels, a badge, different shaped headlights, and an air intake in its lower chin.
Crack Pipe. I have for some inexplicable reason owned several 740i's, as well as an iL with that damnable nikasil block. When things go wrong on a 740, you can expect to pay MORE than the car is worth, easily. I fully respect that some people really get turned on by a stick, but stop and think about what its wrapped…
The International Harvester SV-4 196CI. It may have quite literally been half of a V8, but its supremely reliable, almost impossible to overheat, torque out the rear (for a little engine) and was bolted in the greatest vehicle to ever crush the earth, the international harvester Scout II. There was always the option…
Second.
All LX Platform cars (Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Magnum) pack a fantastically annoying flaw that shows up EARLY in their lives.
Most people are shocked at how fast a Neon can go. The SRT-4 is a glorious symphony of turbocharger and (usually) fart cans. 11 inch front rotors, 10.6 rear rotors, they stop pretty damn good too. The manual they rock is a pretty decent NV T850 with dual clutch from the factory. Spec'd at 230hp crank, I have seen…
Here in Memphis they have ANPR/License plate readers. You don't get away with ANYTHING. If your tags are expired by one day they will chase you down. If you drive the car of a person with a suspended license, they will pull you over.
NOS = Nitrous Oxide Systems, a company that manufactures N20 kits. Just sayin. Calling it NOS makes me want to punch a ricer.

@zekestone: Honestly, a manual transmission is a bit of a waste on the V8s. I can put mine in second (manually), and accelerate from 0-60, and still have a lot of tach leftover, and be there in about 8 seconds.
Just a heads up, the 300C SRT8 has shipped with an aluminum hood and trunk deck since late 05, and most 300s have aluminum hoods after 2008.
@Joshua Willis: Just fill out this form...
@TonyLukes3: If you say the VW beetle is a competitor, then its also playing with the Audi TT. Granted the price isn't even close, same chassis and size though...
@stöke: You'd be suprised. If you sign, put an amount, your account number and routing code, and write 'this is an official instrument' on it, your bank will cash it. They will call your first, but its technically all thats required.

Well, the Ram does have a longer warranty.
