Oh boy, not this can 'o worms again. 
First off, why don't the AMG's count....afterall, they are sedans.
Secondaly, what do you consider a sedan...There's a long standing semantic debate whether sedan is 2 door 4 seater, or 4 door 4 seater...Personally I've always called the later a 2+2.
Finally, it also depends on what you consider fast.....0-60MPH, standing 1/4 mile time, lap time, or top speed?
Oh forget it...I'm going to bed, you're gonna make my head hurt.
Not that it really matters anyway.....It's hand's down the Best looking, best handling, best priced--fastest sedan on the market, BAR NONE!

not for nothing...
but chrysler/DC aren't exactly the models of longevity either. mercedes-benz set the record for most recalls in a 12-month period recently, and chrysler lowered their warranties to 3 years/36k miles. cadillac offers 4 years/50k miles.
i'm buying a chrysler, not a cadillac, but still.

Let me be more precise...
Sedan would be a 4 door / 4 seater. My definition of fast is 0-60 1/4 mile. Not interested in lap or top speed.
The question is asked because this car appears to represent the first of its kind. But I think Chris is correct in that the new Caddy will hold the "fastest" title but who knows.

I've seen this somewhere. I think it was 45%, but I could very well be wrong.300CUL8R said:

I'm not so sure they will hold the title.......funny thing happened the other day.......i'm reading Car and Driver and I see the CTSV add.....the "You have a screw loose" add and it says 0-60 in 4.9..........
it USED to say 0-60 in 4.7.........
DCX claimed the SRT8 would see 0-60 in the low 5 second range and several magazines got them into the high 4's..............??
time will tell, but it seems GM is still padding their stats a little.........
seems to me that DCX is consistently conservative with HP and 0-60 times
and guess who else is................

the AMG's definately count and they are definately faster
definately A WHOLE lot more expensive, but they have tons of power with a ridiculous amount of torque
the M's are really fast too
fastest sedan UNDER $50,000..........hands down.....SRT8

American Made
My 4180 lb fire breathin' BONE STOCK 2006 Chrysler 300c SRT-8 American Made (Engine Built in Mexico, Transmission Built in Germany, Car "Assembled" in Canada then floated across to Michigan) behemoth, can kick the livin' crap outta any Bone Stock SLR or CTS-V.
There I said it.
AND, But wait there's more. Give me EXACTLY the difference in Sticker Price between my SRT-8 and any AMG (or other 4 Door "Sedan") for mods, and I'll kick there asses too.
BTW I did smoke an SLR with a really good driver, and Mr Goodwrench himself said that after driving my SRT-8, he wouldn't buy a CTS-V. (his words)

Although not American (like the SRT8), the Sub WRX STi is pretty darn close to SRT8 performance for UNDER $35k!marlinspike said:
