Never knew about the center console thing either. I'll have to check mine tomorrow - thought it was on a hinge though.

If I am remembering correctly, this is not something you want to do. I believe there was a service call on overheated seats because of this. I think it does work on older models, but believe the "bug" was fixed on newer models. It was a long time ago, but maybe I can find the info I read on this... just wanted to say that I would not recommend doing it.

Great idea Kwick. I'll be sure to add some ideas to the list.

i think it might be for only the VES since those do look like they would be able to shift back and forth but not the regular center consoles though

I have a VES and I don't think it makes a difference. The VES is just an additional door on a hinge that opens forward. Don't see how the thing slides at all. Anyways, I'll check tomorrow.

I dont know about the C's but my 05 Limited cruise control works down to 25mph

Not really an Easter egg, but I like the way you get an extra 'ding' from the system to remind you the parking brake is on. Then the brake light will flash if you still forget and put the transmission in gear.

And for those that hate having seats auto-adjust when you get out, mirrors tilt down when you put the car in reverse, doors auto-locking, rain-sensitive wipers, and honking horns when locking the door with the remote, remember that you can disable/adjust all these features from the menus on the EVIC. (whew, that was a long sentence)

Hey guys,
I'm a newbie to the 300's,but not to Dodge,Chrysler,Plymouth line. Anyway,
Question: Looking at a 2008 300c that is an SRT Design.Why does it have the 5.7 & not the 6.1 engine. What is the difference between the SRT & the SRT Design models ?
Any help would be much appreciated ! I need to act on this deal fast.
Thanks,Cracr

An SRT Design is simply a regular 5.7L 300C that has been tricked out to look like a SRT. It has SRT wheels, brakes, spoiler, etc. But it still has the 5.7L engine.
