Chrysler 300C SRT-8
The Chrysler 300 C is an interesting car. It is one of the last, if not the last true American, boxy looking sedans with big V8 power and a chrome grille. Also, it’s a successful model that’s been on the market for over 15 years. A competitor to the BMW M5 or Mercedes E-Class AMG, the SRT-8 was a performance version of the 300C sedan.
Chrysler equipped the SRT-8 with a 6.1-liter V8 Hemi engine pumping out 425 HP. With a glorious soundtrack through the twin tailpipes, the SRT-8 was a fast, capable sedan. In fact, a 0 to 60 mph sprint took around 4.9 seconds and the top speed was over 170 mph.
