I'm going on Vacation to Gatlinburg in January. Is it ok to drive my 300C SRT8 or do I need to rent an SUV?

I've been to Gatlinburg several times with mine.
Avg'd 21mpg.
Was actually there last January.
I assume your going for Ober Gatlinburg?

Reaper could you be a little more specific? Mrs Bigsnake and I drove up there back in June and September and it's a great drive for an SRT. Lots of curves and beautiful scenery! Unless you mean you are concerned about the weather and it would be a really good idea to make sure there is no kind of icy weather before you go. It would be pretty slippery with the normal tires we have!

The weather is exactly what I'm worried about.

Best way to keep up with Gatlinburg's weather! If it's icy up that way you will need a 4x4 SUV!

If you plan on going up into the mountains you might want to be careful about ice.

I was there in late October, early November and it was cold and icy when you go up into the hills.

if you are just going to Gatlinburg you have no problem. Sometimes the rode from Gatlinburg to cherokee is icy but other than that you are fine.
