Me too, I love it. If I was going to get a 4 door I'd get that. I think the crossfire looks like an old 20s gangster roadster too. If I can afford a 45k car, I'm gonna get the SRT-6! 330 hp crossfire

I have to agree, the 300 is a rather nice looking car. One of the few I would actually consider getting in black.

In addition to the gangster look, it also reminds me of a car that would be at home in a Batman movie (which is suppose to be a positive comment).

I think I would rather get a Magnum with the Hemi. Although the new Hemi is overrated it still has some balz! A station wagon that keeps up with a Slomaro..I like the thought!

It looks to me that you'd have to be at least 55 years old to be allowed to buy a Chrysler 300. It just has "old fart" written all over it. Just my $0.02 of course.

Yep. I'm 56 and I love the car.

But then, I drive a Mustang!

Yeah there killer! The funny thing is that Dodge doesn't like the Magnum to be called a station wagon, they call it a sports tourer. I hate to bust their bubble but it's a station wagon! But it's still killer!

Get it in black, and get the hemi engine. Then do some limo tint and get some chrome 19" rims.. Not ugly ones, but some ones suited for the car

Just make sure you test drive the 2.7 base engine before you buy it. That seems like an awfully small engine for such a heavy car. I have heard that the larger V6 is a good compromise. Decent acceleration and gas mileage (and probably lower insurance for you too.)

Enjoy...

Uhm, ANY mustangs?? Think he would feast on 2/3 rds of the new mustangs ... or are V6's not mustangs in '05??
Click to expand...

Really? I don't think he's gonna beat any Mustang with the 2.whatever liter V6 in that thing. 190 hp 190 tq and 3700 lbs. Please, maybe the old 4 cylinder foxes, that's about it.

I like the look of the 300 but it's still no mustang, make sure you get the HEMIspherical engine. It will NOT beat a GT.

Like someone already said, I read a car rag that posted a 14.1 @ 100+ MPH. If we stick to commonplace Stangnet logic and assume that the guys at the car rags suck at driving, the car is probably capable of 13.8s or so, and that's the 300C. The Magnum may be even better.

It'll lose to the new Mustang for sure (well, it better), but us guys with the 99-04 GT's that are stock or mildly modified definitely have our work cut out for us against one of these, there's no questioning that.

Holy Moley those things are ugly. Like someone said, they do really remind me of something you see a 80 year old man putting around in.. yuck!

The Hemi gets the same gas mileage as the bigger V6. On the highway it has that program where it only runs on 4-cylinders, and according to my Dad, it's a seamless transition. I wouldn't go with the 2.7 if I was you, I'd keep the Hemi and put a free-flowing exhaust system on it when they develop one. Make it sound MEAN
