And how! I'd love to be able to swap in seats, pedals & other goodies from this ultra sweet ride.

Is that the standard SRT8 rear deck spoiler?

This is a collector's car for sure.

Maybe we can get the seats and the emblems from MOPAR parts at some point and swap them into our C's

Reminds of a Challenger R/T Special Edition or Barracuda Gran Coupe.

I wonder if you can retrofit the headlights?

If not getting an SRT8, I would get this. However, this car maybe harder to come by than an 8.

MMMMM...Srt-8 or 300 C Heritage.... This is a quandry! Good thing I do not have any hair left. Other wise there would be a lot of hair pulling going on for me in the next year. Sometimes there can be to many options.. but with the introduction of the Heritage model from what I see it is going to be really something.

Thanks for the link.

PROS:

• Smart-Beams - WAY COOL!

• Seats - Damn, those are sweet!

• SRT spoiler!!

CONS:

• "Chrome-Clad wheesl?! C'mon already - lets get RID of the plastic hubcap wheels and bring back some ALL CHROME wheels. Please!?!?

• And why not offer us an OEM 20" option??

• NO HEMI BADGE anywhere!?!? Why not stick the Charger HEMI badge at the ends of the molding on the front fenders?? If not, I'm just gonna have to add it after I buy one.

UNSURE:

• "Smoke Translucent finish on the upper steering wheel" - I will have to see this first to know if I like it or not. Pics don't show it.

• "Sound Group II" is standard? What if I want NAV? Can I swap that out?

• "All-chromed grille" - Do they mean a PLASTIC grill or an ALL_METAL grill? I'm hoping they mean METAL!

WEIRDNESS:

• "Chromed power, folding, heated mirrors"......Ummmmm..Don't the 300C's ALREADY have this? Mine does.

I will definately be keeping my eyes on this one!!

JFF

I said all along they should offer the "C" in inferno Red.... I love the seats too. But I got a paid-for Magnesium '05 300C so I guess I should be content...... Wonder what kind of trade in I could get.... :wave:

They look exactly like the SRT8 seats offcousre with a different logo and color.

Is this engine at all different from a regular C?

It doesn't appear that way. The suspension, steering, and exhaust, however, are upgraded.

nice car

Great car nice paint, I agree the cheap wheels have to go. I would like the SRT-8 wheels in chrome better the the 18's C wheels :AR15firin

Does it need those stinkin' badges?

IMO those badges (on the side and on the seat) and the chromed plastic wheels are the the weakest things for me. I would hope there would be a walnut option for the interior, etc...

Why did they put the Pepsi logo on there?? Is it the 300 "Pep-C" Edition??

Also, maybe they will start mass producing those "special" all-chrome grills...! I want one!

I'm still intrigued by the SRT-8, but I think this may be the 300C for me. As I've noodled over this decision and procrastinated ad nauseum, this is pretty much the car I've envisioned--a car with much of the styling of the SRT-8, its seats, and an upgraded suspension and transmission, without the penalties imposed by the 6.1 litre V8 ("imposed" hardly seems fitting).

The only thing I see that isn't to my liking is the red, white and blue badge--plastered a bit too prominently inside and out for my liking--but everything else seems "just right."

The badge has a lot of history - going back to the late 50's and early 60's when the Chrysler 300 letter cars were the pinnacle of luxury and power on America's highways.

Yes, I know. Just a matter of personal taste . . . sometimes less is more. I like the badges that are a little more subdued.

Red, white and blue
