you can upgrade the 300 for performance and make it just as loud as the charger. For me it's more about the body style and I liked to gangster look of the 300 over the charger

they are the exact same car just minor changes. i chose a 300c because its classy, i can go to work in it, go out to really nice dinners, get all dressed up go places. the car just bleeds elegance. The charger looks just muscle car. i wanted something mor versitile so thats why i chose what i chose

They both have their good points! I like thr 300C SRT8 because not many people really know what it will do and think it's just a "Bankers car" until they see and hear it going ahead of them into the distance and I like my wife's Charger R/T because it does look like a "muscle car" and performs well also! Thats why we have one of each. It's up to the individual which one to choose or to solve it, get one of each and be twice as happy.

Drive both, see which you prefer. To me the Chargers suspension was way too stiff. If I wanted a kidney busting ride I'd buy an early C4 Z51.

I had the same dilemma but decided on the 300 for the main reason that I have seen a lot of Charger police cars and rental cars out there and no 300s. That does make a bit of difference to me when it comes to style. Even though none are SRT8s, it still makes a difference. Just my $.02 worth.

well, this is a tough one. ive thought of this myself. do i want a "musclecar" or do i want a "luxury musclecar". and the older i get i finding myself leaning towards the later!! so thats why i went with the csrt. if i was still in my 20s it would have been the charger. it all depends on what u looking for. u cant go wrong with the srt either way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell in love with the 300 body style the first time I saw it in 2004/2005. I like the feel in the interior better than the Charger which seems to be a bit no frills. Good luck in deciding. You can't go wrong either way!

same here, the 300 just has class all over it and the charger has sport written on it, but there both fine cars. I was worried about the mods I have taking the class away from it but in all honesty I've had more compliments now than before. Everyone just calls it a sleeper and say it sounds mean as hell. It dam sure runs like it too. Theres no way you can go wrong with either one. SRT all the way! Good luck in your decision and remember it's a good position to be in to "have" to make that choice
