Has anybody taken a 300C SRT8 to a drive through car wash? Is there enough ground clearance for the car to make it through?

Yes. I've taken mine through a few different "hand wash" car washes here in LA and had no issue.

I wouldn't take it through. to many things can happen. You could scrape the front lip. The cloth or air dryer could take off your spoiler (sinced it is taped on).

But I do believe there is enough fround clearance. Atleast the car wash here in windsor, Ontario

Hi,
I have been through a "hand wash" car wash several times. I have not had any problems.

I did once.......right after a truck dumped white paint all over the expressway, AND MY CAR!!!!! Clearance was fine, but the wash was pretty lousy.....although it did take the white paint off my black car.

Took mine through a touchless car wash once just after I got it and had no problems. It was the kind that you drive in and the car is stationary & the equipment moves around the car. The place I go to has a very powerful blower and the car had no problems with it either. Never tried it on those conveyor things though, and won't either just in case.

I take mine through a wash that does not touch the vehicle either like Rambit. Then I get my car home and finish it off myself.

Touchless is the way to go. One just opened here, works great.
