Maybe here in Seattle as they have not been readily available for quite some time, but it seems like the masses of 300 owners dont know what the SRT8 is or it's capabilities. I an not knocking them at all, they think it is a Touring model and that they would eat it for lunch with the 5.7 hemi. Both times after I pulled ahead and stopped the looked and asked what is that. The SRT8 does not have any Hemi badging anywhere on the body and people look for that, so even in the 300 community it is a sleeper.

When my dad got his SRT8 last August I was following him back from the dealership in my 300C. When we were almost to my parents' house a guy in a Silver 300 touring was going the other way; he must have been so surprised to see another 300 much less TWO of them that he turned around and followed us! (Not many 300's in North Idaho which is kinda cool....). When Dad and I pulled into his driveway the guy in the touring stops in the street and gave us a thumbs up and said "I didn't realize there were so many cars LIKE MINE in town"
We didn't bother to explain that the SRT8 was not exactly "like his" but it was pretty amusing.
By the way Kobe8, my dad's SRT has the exact same "Hemi-C" badge on the front fenders as my 300C does. His is a 2006 and my 'regular' C is a 2005.
