Question Low chin problem?

Hi, I'm planning to buy 300C SRT8 in a couple of weeks time.

One thing I'm concerning about this car is... Is the chin spoiler really low?? I would like to hear your opinions based on actual driving experiences of yours.

Drive safe & cool~

Welcome to the forums! Yes the chin spoiler is pretty low. You’re going to have to be aware of where you’re at up there. Cement park stops, low driveways, curbs, you name it….stay away from them. Should it stop you from buying a SRT8? I would hope not unless you drive with total lack of regard for things. Just use caution and you should be fine. Let us know what you get.

Buy the Ocho and don't drive up to low objects! You'll figure out the limits of the front facia and start parking a few feet away from parking blocks and low driveways.

What ever you do, don't let this be the one thing to keep you away from this beast.

Cool

It's ok to worry about the front chin spoiler in which the possible damage is at your control. What you REALLY need to worry about is what is out of your control such as people out there who park 2 feet from the side of your car with their drivers side! To deal with both problems i back into spaces, double park when able to, park next to handicapped spaces slightly into the blue filler gaps, take driveways at angles, watch out for dips, and always keep an eye out. MY FIRST DAY AT WORK I PARKED AWAY FROM EVERYBODY AND A DUMB S**T PARKED LIKE RIGHT NEXT TO ME! MY BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH DAMAGE.....TO TEAR HIM A NEW ONE FOR BEING SOOO STUPID!

Would you not buy an Enzo simply because the front bumper is about 3" off the ground? The ONLY thing holding me back is about $1,000,000.

Actually, for me it was the $700 oil changes.
