Title: Gettin a 300C Hemi, any good?
Post by: ##RaCeR## on November 08, 2005, 06:19:00 PM
My dad just signed contract on a 300C Hemi, they\'ve just been released here in AU and I\'m not sure if dads made the right decision.

The styling is, well, to be honest, different, the dual tailpipes are cool and the 22 inch rims (yes, your reading right, 22") are alittle over the top.

Performance seems pretty good for something as big as it is (0-100 in 6.4 secs) but its pretty bulky.

Anyone driven one before? Whats your opinon?

It\'s called the "Baby Bentley" stateside.  Many buy them and deck it out with shiny rims, new grill, 5% tint, etc...  It\'s sickening.

Motor Trend did name it car of the year for 2004 though.  I don\'t think they did it because it was really the best car.  I think they chose it because it is dirt cheap compared to cars with similar performance and luxury.

I think it\'s a nice car. I\'d get it if I lived stateside.

I would rather have a charger and thats what I am hoping to get next spring. But 300c where the coolest things out last year.

The Charger looks bad ass.

Anyway, enjoy the 18mpg. :)

I think they both look funky.  The Charger especially.  300 isn\'t so bad.

And who cares about Gas?  It may cost you an extra 200 bucks by the end of the year.  I\'m sure your daddy can handle that.

The engine is powerful but you will be spending a lot of time at the pump.

I\'m not sold on the Charger either. Unless it\'s an old school one.

Yeah..  For a station wagon, the magnum looks pretty cool.  For a station wagon.
