On the final day the RockAuto.com Car Craft Week to Wicked, it's time to put the finishing touches on the car! Catch up on day 4: • Car Craft Week to Wick...
With the suspension changes, they might have been shooting for a stiffer tire, but I agree. The stock rims looked better and the tires for them would perform better as a daily driver. I bet these guys are in So-Cal since they don't seem to consider all season snow tires as needed for a daily driver. Big hint to you southerners: the all season snow tires grip better on dry and wet pavement than a rain tire and last longer if you buy good ones.
I enjoyed watching someone actually work on a first gen SRT8 300 but such a shame that no work went into properly building the engine. I know our 6.1L can take a beating with proper care but at 100K miles and no internals being swapped out is very questionable. Also incorrect fluids being used can't be a good thing. Not the biggest fan of the exterior mods done but I get that parts were provided by rockauto so not much of a say when it comes to that. Overall a decent "build" but nothing amazing. Like I said, I'm just glad someone actually made videos of an SRT8 300 being worked on.
@@mrcarman07 thanks for the follow man! Yeah not sure what they were thinking going with a 265 tire unless the tires were also provided by rockauto and if that was the case, they probably didn't have any choice in the matter lol
Should have left the stock rims on it, or something in the same size. Way too low of a sidewall. Also, either paint the rear calipers red, or the front ones silver.
glad i wasnt the only one thinking this. If i were to win it, there'd be a few things I would change for sure. Wheels/tires, oil filter, and exhaust to name a few.
hemiyacht charger I'd think 265 is plenty if the tyres and suspension are decent enough to put on a 550hp car? Going wider only kills the fun in the dry and makes it break out more suddenly and aggressively in the wet.
Thank you for this build videos. I have one of these 2007. Bought it new, still have it w over 100k miles, and there is no better car for the buck. (Should of kept stock rims, headlights and no stickers. = beast).
I stumbled across this series and fell in love with it. Maybe because I have a chrysler 300 that I been wanting to supe up like you guys did... overall great videos. Wish I had a chance at winning this
Austin Kata there’s too many different taste for Chrysler I prefer the body I have on my Chrysler with the Bentley style grill over this one although I would like the mods this one has
Yup, you can easily add a bluetooth receiver to the oem unit but its easier than ever now with android units. I recently installed a 9" android unit on mine that is perfectly plug and play and comes with its own oem looking faceplate. It brings the car up to date very quickly!
I hope I win !!! I have a 2.7L v6 2007 its a sleepy not sleeper had to replaced the engine since these command problem with the lifters :( need me srt like this one!!! Good job you guys ! Out done your self on this one love the wheels the set up looks great:) love the show keep them coming
shawn ollero worst engine but the good thing is that the transmission 4 speed is the same for 3.5L if I was you replace the engine to a 3.5L you won’t have to upgrade the transmission
Watched day 4 last week, lots of trolls there too. I don't think any of the top trash talkers would keep hating if you called them up and told em' they won. A lot of hard work and money. I just wanna say, It looks good and I imagine it's a ticket magnet. Fingers crossed. BTW, just bought an 02 sensor from Rock Auto, 25 bucks cheaper than the chain store AND OEM equipment! Rock Auto rules.
22’s? No way, go back to 20’s, the size the car was engineered around, please. I hope the winner of this car lives where the roads are as smooth as silk! Great overall effort all around guys!
Robert D. I have 22s on my Charger and it rides like a normal car. No problems at all, and I just lowered my Charger last week with some Megan coil overs and it rides like a dream now ON 22’s. Their is nothing wrong with getting bigger wheels as long as it doesn’t look to big.
God I love the Chrysler 300 they are so nice extremely surprised on how this one turned out really hope I can be that one winner to get it jeez that car is so nice I pray I could win it 😍😍😍😍
Perfect 😩 I had a 2006 Chrysler 300c and it wasn’t anywhere near as good as this one so I can’t hate. Too bad my engine blew couple months ago so I’m definitely going to be entering to win this !
👌 Looks good, I know things I will still have to do probably including replacing rear tires. If I recall for each revolution of a spinning tire it take approximately 3 miles off the tread life for each revolution but who’s counting.
Feel like with the power/handling upgrades, you guys should have at least thrown some "Blue Top" solenoids in the trans. Honestly, a Tranzformer would have been a good upgrade too (and it's adjustable) but Blue Tops are available from RockAuto...
I have a 06 Chrysler 300c srt8 that just hit 100,000 miles. How much did the supercharger and parts come to by themselves? Or how much would you guys charge to add all this to a customer's ride?
You couldn't fuel a car like that over here in Ireland as fuel isnt cheap,though it has came down on price since the C-19 issues. It would only be a weekend kinda thing over here (during the summer time)
Man I love that platform with the SRT8 and Chrysler my dad used to work for Chrysler for about five years when I was younger always loved that car hopefully I have a chance at winning I'm currently in college will no transportation if I win how start making RU-vid videos about it and use it daily
I wish they did more on the body flaired those gards like it’s on steroids and did a muffler mayhem on that more rubber and my be sum writing on the wheels aye! Put those lights need to be changed vents on side raise the back old school style.
