Unhappy What dont you like about your 300C SRT8???

I love my car but their are a few things I could love if chrysler changed on the next SRT8's ... here is my list ... whats yours?


CONS:
  • Front is too low I always end up grinding the bottom of the lip and it really messes up the bottom of the bumper
Solution: raise the front suspension manually and then bring it back to its origin
  • Cant open the trunk without putting the car in park gets kind of annoying
  • Cant High Beam or Honk when the key is not in the ignition and turned to on
  • Oil filter is in a very tight space and its hard to get out at times lol
  • Car is not as sturdy built interior wise ... I hear squeaking noises from the hood trunk etc little things that annoy the hell out of me but some people dont notice it because they can live with it but overall make the interior more sturdy.
  • Their is no Handles on the passenger side toward the top
PROS







and the most sexiest car up to date =)

No Locking fuel door

WHY THE HELL NOT?

I got the locking DCX gas cap off ebay for $14

But what the hell am I going to do when the key gets lost??


Would have liked a spare tire to fit in the well, but then got give up those larger than viper brembos

The 7 spd auto from MB would have been a welcome addition as well

the only thing i dont like after 2.5 months of ownership is that the TCM learns WAY too quickly and the car isnt as lively as it can be. after less than one day of me driving like a normal person, such as moving slow in traffic, merging slow, whatever, the car drives like a little bitch. i either have to beat on it in autostick mode, or do the fuse 11 thing.

but maybe the Predator will take care of all that

Not saying there aren't any cons...but those are the lamest cons I could even imagine. especially the car is too low and the filter is in a tight space.

What color underwear are you wearing, lol... Oh, and are you serious about needing to honk and flash your high beams when your key is in your pocket

Yah what he said LOL

I have a long list... The drive by wire is at the tops, hesitation due to PCM programming, and the fact that its been out for 3 years and still no tuning for it. If this car had a easier system to hack it would be very cool.

There's not much NOT to like, but one thing I don't like, that I also disliked in my C, is the damn windshield washers on the hood... I HATE that! They make a mess of the car when all you need to do is clear the glass for some reason. The Kicker sounds like garbage and there are lots of squeaks and creaks that I never had a problem with in my C... but when all is said and done, all I have to do is mash the accelerator and I forget about all that stuff

Don't like the low front end, got used to it. need a handle on the outside of the trunk. one thing that really worries me is the visiblity. I have almost hit two pedistrians, blocked by front mirror and by passenger's front pillar. Also have had the odd lane change challenge a car hid between my mirror and the side pillar. yeah I know I should look more often and do the shoulder check and all, just caught off guard a couple of time. other than that the car is **** frinkin' awesome!

heheh, Am I the only dude that's never had visibility issues? Ya know what'd happen if they listened? The 300C would end up looking like a CTS (Camry Touring Sedan)
