Oh boy.....
I raced a few 99-04 5 speed GT's on the freeway and walked them. Off the line its a different story. Most the time I would be at the pack of the Mustang door or at rear bumper. Auto's, I've taken off the line nice and at about 80 mph had about a car or 2 on them.
Car and Drivers comparison was about the best fair comparison, the Pontiac Bon. and the Ford Crown Vic.
Anyway, that is about the best and fair comparison I've seen. And it was no contest. For the price of the 300C its in a position to be compared with cars between 30,000 and 70,000. And win 75% of the time in every aspect. I don't know any other car that is or was able to do that.
Lets see what people tried to compare it to:
300C VS Mustang GT- Two door, sports car
300C VS Acura TL- 4 door, Mid size.
300C VS Bently Arnage T- No need to even explain!
300C VS GTO - Mustang GT Syndrome!
300C VS E500 - Good Comparison if the E500 Didn't start at 56k
300C VS BMW 5 Series - E500 Syndrome!
300C VS Lexus GS430 - Good Comparison If the Lexus didn't start at 54k
300C VS Lexus GS 300 - Still not right starts at 43k
300C VS Toyota Avalon - Nice Comparison if it wasn't a Toyota
300C VS Honda Accord V6 - WTF
Boy, I can go on and on. I didn't make this stuff up, Car mags and people do it all the time. Best comparo was the Pon. Bon. Ford Crown, and 300C.
300C owners are still waiting for the right competition in the size, power, and price range. Any takers. Didn't think so, at least not yet.
