300C SRT8! The American Take on a Aussie Muscle Car...is it Good tho? 

Ive had my 08 300c SRT8 for about 4 years now. Stock with HP tune made 440bhp mild mods includes CAI, long tube headers, muffler delete & 150 shot nitrous express max 4 kit saw it jump to 550bhp and 1680nm atw! 0-100 3 secs and 1/4 mile 10.9 sec...currently has 255000km on it and ive gone through 132 bottles so far and it loves it!! Just remember if it ain't MOPAR it aint NOCAR! ;)

The 300C especially the performance variants are so underrated, I remember comparing stats and it shocked me to see one would pip a ve r8 clubby in a 0-100 dash

I've always liked the styling 300c the low roof, big boot looks Mafia style for sure, nice highway cruiser ay, another cool review ross 🤙

Thanks again for the review on my baby 😍😍 glad you enjoyed it

Good review on a gangsta car Jon. We Aussies don't often put body's in the boot but wouldn't be surprised if some bags of washing powder have been found in that boot.

I got the Chrysler 300c 5.7 hemi I absolutely love the car

I bought a 2006 300c SRT8 in April. This video def gave me the confidence to buy one. Thank you! I haven’t regretted it since! All the things that you mention as down sides you get used to no worries!

Wife and I owned these since 09 , we loved them so much I , had 2 hemi 5.7 and a 6.1 SRT8 as well as a 6.4 SRT at the same time LOL Look, feel and sound amazing, destroyed many local bogan mobiles, Thing is, you do anything to mod this car it will always pull heads, you cannot go back, Ended up with a 6.1 Jeep and a 6.4 Jeep as well, just insanely reliable and tough. Best thing is that the water pump and other parts are almost interchangeable , Pricing wise you’re a bit off, The V6 and the diesel are the cheap ass ones you see for 10k+ but still similar look, SRT Having different front and rear bumpers, lowered and bigger wheels and brimbo brakes. I think you missed heaps of points in the video. The SRT hold their value well. 25k+ and they’re more rare now than they used to be, not to mention the touring that is super rare. Also If you were to press and hold the compass and music note keys on the steering wheel at the same time for 5 seconds you would have been able to access the secret “Easter egg menu” and it had more options including the 0-100 timers on those 06 to 11 models. But you covered allot too .

Bought my ‘06 300 srt8 in December. Absolutely love driving it around town. It’s a bit of a sleeper if you don’t know what’s under the hood. I love playing all my CD’s from the 90’s in the stock 6 disk changer lol

Yeah I got my 2006 chrysler 300 srt8 for 6800$ with not a single problem with it and with150k miles but when I got it , it only had 100k miles and still haven't have to even change a bulb on it very reliable beautiful car and I dont think I will ever get rid of it for sure

Good review, thanks! I've always wondered about these 300Cs. I've noticed a number of them in my part of the world of late.

I fell in love with these car the first time seeing it I got the 2.7L v6 so yea It doesn’t go fast and it’s the worst engine of them all but so far of having it, it gave me no problem it make no noise or anything, it drive really smooth, looks great and i have a 6 weeks old baby girl so going fast isn’t something I’m really looking to do, just to drive a nice comfortable luxury muscle type car and I love it

Sounded wicked and looks menacing. Nice review as always!

Have too disagree on driving an SRT in the city! I have one, I live in USA, I feel it handles good for a large sedan. I have no problem parallel parking and maneuvering mine around in the city! The thing flies and its a sleeper!

I don't even like cars but your personality is so awesome I had to subscribe! Keep it up man

I love my srt8 300C, going on 140k loved the 300c so much I just bought my 3rd one, love the body styling and the perofmrnace. Very underrated cars, were I am these normal 300c 5.7 cars sell for 1500-5000 for a fixer upper which is what I buy and put my touch to it and make to be a sleeper, my second 300c with the 5.7 ran the 1/4 mile in 13.9 sec at 106 mph. But I recently tore the motor out after I wiped out the cam racing the car, so I'm hoping to be in the low 12s naturally aspirated this year! Greetings from Canada!

I’m an Aussie muscle guy through and through but gotta say those Chrysler’s are pretty sweet 👌

😂 Fit a couple bodies in the trunk. Your the best Jono

Awesome vid man. Im going to get this car handed down to me from My step dad and he told me it got a new motor and i cant wait to drive around in this beast

Awesome review love these cars I own 2 a 300c and a touring

Although mines a 2015 350kw version I'm keen to see this on the channel :D

Hey Ross, Thank you for sporting an American car. I prefer rear wheel drive, however, one car I wish you had the ability to review. A 1017 on up Lincoln MKZ, 3.0, AWD. American mid size V6. 400hp and with the AWD, 400 horse power. Basically, an unadvertised screamer. Sadly, discontinued as of July 2020. Again, thank you, Great work.

I lost mine at a head on collision last year. Will forever miss it.

A boot is something that goes on your feet! Great and classic car!

Looks the goods, sounds the goods. It really is the ultimate cruiser. But would you buy one over an SS or an F6? There's a compelling case for it, as they aren't as common and they look fantastic. And of course the V8 sounds great. If you just wanted to cruise and not race, why wouldn't you buy one? A perfect car for a night out with the ladies.

Love this channel.. seen some cars form the channal just takin my cruises 👀

I've had mine since 2015 my best 0-100 is on my profile pic. That was intake tune and suitcase muffler delete with aeroflow straight through mufflers and resonator delete dyno'd 270 rwkw.

I've had one of these for a couple of years, despite it's weight it handles much better than people expect, it's got a very stiff chassis and I put 275 tyres all round to get rid of some of that understeer, give a bit more grip at the back and have the ability to rotate the tyres. The only complaints I have about the car is it never came in manual and they made the interior roof of the car white for some reason...why? I can't see myself ever selling it though, and it's been nice to see the SRT8s in my state go up in price since I bought it!

hey ross, love your videos man you should review a na falcon and a v6 commy for us p platers!

This was a great video about one of favorite cars. All I can say is that the 0-100 time is a little slow, I've managed to get my 06 SRT to 60 in about 5 seconds when I take the time to properly launch the car. From a dead stop these cars do seem to lag a bit climbing from idle.

This one will be interesting always been curious about them😈

Love the number plate 😍

A good car to modify & go cruising. It looks tough & sound's good 👍.

My 06 SRT is a beast, K&N filter added about 50 hp. I only have 38,000 original miles on it. Bought it new for 45,000.

Good one mate. Love the 4.3L hemi outta the 1972 e49 6 pack was the shit back than. Now there worth shit load.

I picked this model up 6 months ago for $15k with 106k km, I upgraded from the 300c 3.5 v6. Beautiful car just got rear ended by No Birds hire car , it’s been over 1 month with emails phone calls but no progress in fixing the damage to mine. My car is sitting in a yard out in the elements.

I live in the Middle East and I see a lot of SRTs and I like this bad boy like a boat on the road, and petrol is really cheap.

im buying mine next year so excited

I have the uk model and after 8years, i just cant bring myself to sell it. I only do about 1000 miles a year if that. Can honestly say its fairly reliable, and anything thats gone wrong has been small cheap easy repairs. If u buy one....polybush the suspension because it changes the car so much!!! Better handling and driving experiance. Lots of after market parts for big power with bolt ons. You do not see them come up for sale second hand which says to me there is alot of happy owners.

I have a 08 SRT 300 with the 6.1. Ive done some upgrades. I do 0-60mph in 4.55 sec. I havent had to chance to take it to a strip yet.. but these cars are a beast and eat mustangs like nothing.

The 2016 and up model at 350kw definitely a car I would look at getting since Holden and fords demise. Would be interesting to see 2018-19 srt review

The o to can hit 4.6 seconds an with a throttle controller it's nuts I put one on mine plus if you super charged it you can get 1000 horsepower out of a 6.1L hemi

Where I live they rarely come up for sale and I found one for 8900 no issues and 89k miles and I told them I would drive from 2 states away to some get it and the lady thought I was a scammer and blocked me so I bought a Ford Taurus sho instead but I regret not just finding another one it is a bad ass car lol

Нет слов. Авто на все 100. У меня 3,5. Радует во всем.SRT-это не передать. Огонь. Респект и уважение.

Hey Johnny not bad not bad at all mate,seeing they've completely destroyed our local car industry here we don't have as many options anymore,& the length & width is only a touch bigger than a Fg even though it looks a lot bigger,& they were discontinued in the states because only the mob were buying them as stiff transporters hahaha,anyway great review again you all keep well buddy.

Had a mate who loved his srt, until typical maintenance items were putting his car off the road for weeks, massive issues with sourcing parts from dealers

Hi Ross reviews this is Jordan’s car reviews here. The Son of a Gun grey HSV GTSR W1 that was at Gardner Holden has been sold so can you please see with Gardner Holden weather you can detail it for the customer please and also do a Kia Cerato GT hatchback in runway red to please.

Soooo anyone going to mention the Plates? when i read them i lost it.... I was done.. LOL..... Great review.. always wanted one...

My 06 has a DVD player for the rear and the double din nav in the front 🤷‍♂️

Hey man if you're ever in Sydney and interested in reviewing a 2019 SRT I've got one sitting in my driveway you're welcome to take for a spin

Eh love seeming a fellow srt8 same year bonus 👊

It'd be interesting to compare one of these to our statesman or grange

Wow! right side sterling

WOW IT CAN ACTUALLY MOVE....high rating review there m8.....Pdrive tv review on the 2013 SRT8 is reviewed in 4.24m just saying

What exhaust is that? I have the charger version and want that sound

lifter tick @1:15 ? lol loved the vid and yeah id own one lol cam it and add blower boom

It's a 2010 or less with 6.1....did u do different exhaust?....sounds nice.

Are the 3.5 v6 any good want one but just seen so many negative reviews about engine and gear box

Always been a fan of the wagon version .... In the US the SRT 8 wagon is known as the Dodge Magnum ....

9k for a srt8 mate put down the meth pipe. That ain't no crappadoor or shitbox xr8 at those prices you only get the regular 5.7 hemi 300c not the srt8

Rossco, are they as fragile as I've been told? Got a close mate who has the 6.4 srt. Has the cylinder displacement setup on it, I'd be worried about cam wear etc. Chrysler wouldn't fit a tow bar because it's an srt, not a 300c? Weird brother, but nice

Hey Ross, thanks for your vids, keep up the good work mate. Any chance of getting a HSV Grange or modified WM Caprice to review? Would love to see it.

Not a big fan of its design personally. Looks like one of the fancier brands (is it Aston-Martin that do a design like that?) Found out the dodge charger exists yesterday though. Would love to see that here one day, one of the only cars around that could truly replace the falcon/commodore.

I have one of these.... Pretty bad choice here in Los Angeles.... Everyone thinks you gonna do a drive by 😂

Aside from the mustang gt this car caught my fancy.

I gapped/smoked a VE GTS 6 times in one of these, easy race

I have 300C Heritage Edition 2006. Cool Vanilla. 5.7L. SRT inspired. For Sale. I want a smaller boat. Lol

great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 04 ba xr8 stock smoked one of these off the lights, it had an exhaust system and sounded mean but I was surprised how easily the boss 260 wiped it.

It’s very goo car 🚗 I wanted to buying here in China 🇨🇳, I soo one and that very goo price, I love to have this car , thanks for your video ❤😊

A classic.

Reliability must be a massive concern in any Chrysler. NSW Highway Patrol have got some currently.

The title should be the audience take on an American muscle car

Watch out there’s a crocodile behind mate!!!!!! And huge man eater spider inside the car

they still look good

Coil overs make it grab the riad hard

I’m going from an RSX 4 cylinder to an str8. Someone tell me if buying one of these as a first V8 is a good idea ?

Says: "Chrysler is not really known for great long term reliability" ...yet here it is impressing 14 years later! Also, I have a friend with a 14 year old BMW 5 series that he's thrown more money at than the entire cost of my 300C just to keep it on the road. I'd say Chrysler did a pretty decent job.

Americans love big V8 power in our cars

My dreamcar becayse midnight club 3 :p

how good are them number plates should be on a ford or holden though haha

Aussie muscle is american muscle lmaoo we're the cousins we always wanted

Jeremy Clarkson loathes these. I think they are a very creative style and look unique.

I like the video but You lousing time by shifting at 5800 RPM. I do 4.9 by shifting at 6600 RPM with diablo 91cai an cat back exhaust.

2:52 Good thing that he didn't drove some American car from the 70's.

The michigan Stato

Um 0-100 suppose to be 5 seconds, are you sure this aint the 5.7L?

America stopped selling it locally because it was killing the overpriced Dodge/Jeep offerings it was competing with hands down, the 300C SRT8 had more bang for your buck.....simple as that.

Darn you americans with the indicator lever on the wrong side.Whats wrong with ya lot lol Otherwise great review Ross 🤙

Iv had ford bmw holden and the c if you can drive this thing kills

Where is the aux in the glove box is he talking about ?

apparently i heard my neighbor say is hard to find parts for these?

Cool

Gangster!

Swap manual transmission than its dope😎😎

Any colour as long as it's black.

people call it massive but it's really not.

This for me, has to be the most sinister looking muscle car to ever come out the USA.

Is this car faster than ba 260 boss

Nice
