Your thoughts on the 2012 300C SRT8

[306Doba]

I personaly think it's the most bad *** sedan on the road today. I would buy it before any Benz, Audi or BMW

470hp

470 ftlbs

adaptive damping suspension

fully hydraulic steering system

Standard steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters

Launch Control

0-60 high 4s

1/4mile high 12's

top speed: 175 mph

60-0 mph in 120 feet.

They are sweet. All the SRT group vehicles are. I think the 300 is better looking than the charger. The super bees are nice because of the graphics. But I think if I had the money to get one for a driver I would go with the Grand Cherokee. But, at 65 thousand, I luckily don't have to worry about making such decisions.

Yeah, my 18 year old son told me the other day that's the car he's getting when he get's out of basic and goes to Colorado CA. Not a bad choice...I raised him well...

They are bad *** for sure, but we did not like the lexus-ized new body style as much as the prior. We searched and searched until a low mile 2010 SRT8 300C could be found. It is actually pretty fast, I was surprised.

Good looking car. I would like to put one to the test and see how it drives. Think that my local dealer will let me take it out by myself? I promise that I'll bring it back.... Most of it.... Eventually...

 

[Budnicks]

I'd drive the hell out of it, I'd love to have one, I'm not in the market thou, but I probably would choose it in that Platinum color or Black they look freaken' menacing, with the correct style wheel & tire combo, maybe a computer tune....

 

[RustyRatRod]

My thoughts? About the same as my thoughts on the 2012 election. It sucks. Big sweaty hairy nasty stinkin balls.

 

[Sixpack70]

The performance from the SRT line is awesome. If I had to choose it would be the Cherokee. As was said by Hemi Rebel, 65k is really steep!

 

[Ron 73]

Way to much money i think, But I would drive it looks pretty good considering the design of today's cars, love the interior in it!

They look good and perform better but who the heck can afford one ? The Super Bee is limited this year ( 2012 ) to just two colors, black and white and you have to buy it totally loaded, there is no choosing options. I believe they go for 42 grand and again, who in the heck can afford to buy one ?

I think its black and yellow. Or we have a super rare yellow super bee sitting on the lot at work right now. Been sitting there for a while now getting lot rot. Cause it too damn expensive! But they do run good. And when you start it, there is a little animated super bee in the cluster. Its kind of neat.

Nope. It looks like everything else to me, like a souped up Toyota Avalon. If you've got the cash for that beast, buy a classic Mopar.

1973 Dodge Coronet. 4 doors, cheap to buy, to maintain, to register, to insure.

Hey, you asked.

Wait, it's $65,000????

Double nope! For 65K I'll take a Tesla 4 door, Motor Trend's Car of the Year.

Aw hell, buy several!

'66 Charger - $10K
'68 Sport Satellite - $8K
'73 Road Runner - $12K

Three great cars in fine shape, and you've still got $35K free to spend on 93 octane gasoline. Lots of it.

Or....have a newer 300C SRT8 for a winter beater and drive classic Mopars all spring/summer/fall? If you have not driven an SRT8 car you should before you condemn it. I am not a new car guy at all but this is the next best thing if you don't want to spend five years building a car. While the brand new ones are spendy look at used 2005-2006 prices. These cars are actually quite reasonable.

My next beater (the 300C SRT8 is her driver) will be a 66-67 Coronet sedan with a 6.1 and a four speed.

Comparing a Tesla to a 300 SRT8 is just ridiculous. The fast one (not the 65k model) is almost 100k...

To each his own I guess.

I love the new SRT8 300, it is expensive for sure, but the content and performance are amazing. I have owned a couple of the SRT products and they are very impressive drivers, if I had the space and the bucks I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one of these.
