What would it take to make a 300c beat a SRT?

[zenhog]

Hey gang

I'm starting to get attached to my 300c now that I have some cool mods (audio, chip, exhaust, CAI) and it isn't very practical to think I'd get all I deserve on a trade on a SRT-8 so the question is a good one (compared to trading/selling outright and starting over with a SRT)

What would it take to take a stock 300c and mod it enough to beat the SRT?

And I'm not looking for a general answer of " Oh, about $15,000". I'd like a list if possible.

This should be a good thought provoker... lol..

You should read THIS just to understand what the SRT8 has in upgrades over the 300c

Just figure, yours 300C/mine CSRT8

Yours / Mine
HP 345+ 425+
Thousands of $ to come close

Handling Comfort / Acceptable Comfort+ Great Handling
Hundreds to a couple thousand depending on Level of quality of components

Braking Ok at best/ Awesome w/dust
Several Thousand for Upgrades frt & Back not to mention that conventional 300c wheels won't fit over the SRT8 4pot Caliper unless designed with enough inset to clear, cost of brakes and wheels - lets say almost 1/3 of your car.

you're going to be better off on the long run by trading for an actual SRT8

it'll end up being cheaper and you get to keep your warranty

Your best bet would be a S/C kit by GSM. Your looking at about 6K for the hardware and about 1.5K for labor. This will give you outstanding straight line performance. If you want more than straight line performance, its better you go with a SRT8. You could also go with a NOS system for under $2000 installed.

You don't need all that...

All you need is A lot of Prayer and Jesus.

You could go with the GSM supercharger with the big boost kit. That's what I ended up doing when faced with the same choice. My car is at GSM right now having it installed. When completed I will have around 500 rwhp compare that with 398 rwhp for a stock SRT8.

But can you stop it when you need to?

Now that's funny rit thar. I say wait til Superchips comes out and maybe squires turbo systems will rig up a system for around 6K or so. Ohhh but wait, you still can't stop the thing.
