SRT 8 or 300C

[Hetrain]

I know this has been talked about, but i need help, and cannot find previous posts about this. What are the differences of the SRT 8 version and current 300C? Whats gonna be the price, and should I wait or just get a 300c? Will there be a huge gas milage breakdown for the srt 8? Can you still put 22 inch rims on a srt 8 version?? Please help, and thanks!!!

The SRT-8 continues be be a big topic. Here's a thread that will answer most of your questions:
300C SRT-8

#1 difference is 425 H.P. vs 340 H.P.

I also noticed another difference, on the SRT-8 it doesn't include the chrome on the exterior like the C. BTW, that's one of the perks I just fell in love with on my 300C. So with that said 300C rules just my opinion.

Yea, i gotta have the most chrome.. One thing I fell in love with is the mpg of the 300c, which is good for a v8... I think that the hemi 300c is gonna be good enough for me.

Gang,

For my wife and I the 300C and 340 HP is OK in a sedan. If the 425 HP SRT-8 was in a coupe I would probably get one.

I guess it depends on what you want the car for. If you want a weekend fun car, the SRT-8 is the way to go. But if you want something that's practical as a daily driver, I think the C offers more than the SRT-8.

i imagine the new srt8 also has that stupid speed limiter?

No, it has better tires from the factory, so it should be at least 155MPH.
