Loved this car from the day I drove it home. One owner black beauty only mod was a K&N drop in filter and I added a Borla exhaust system. Hella fast and fun to drive. Well maintained and garage kept, used as a Livery sedan and purchased with about 93k miles. Replaced front strut assemblies and wheel bearings (pricey). Car is nose heavy by design. All went well without any issues until cruising in the fast lane at about 70mph Engine lost power without warning, barely made it off of freeway and car had died at the offramp. Stranded with clients in car 85 miles from home! Broken valve spring, bent valve and pushrod, Had heads redone and with tow bill about a $2500 breakdown. Sold it

The SRT 8 is one wild ride....loads of power and torque. Not for everyone but if you like raw power, you will love one of these Mopar SRT 8's.

I was gonna purchase a 5.7L300C which I thought was great during test drive. decided to up to the SRT8,,Im so glad I did. I love this car !! Braking will change your hair do, acceleration next to a so called sports car at a stoplight will have you smiling for miles while looking in the rear view. Bad side, gas miles, brake dust, front spoiler is sooo low, I know I'm gonna break it sooner or later. tranny is alittle rough from 1st to 2cnd. Small prices to pay for this much fun. Ive done 140 in this car effortlessly.

425hp - lots of mid-range torque, tight-shifting 5-speed auto-stick transmission, posi-trac RWD, 1st-class exterior styling (mine is all black), best brakes I've ever felt (Brembo), smooth and quiet at speed, yet surprising nimble and accurate for a 4,000-lb car. Reasonably sticky 20" Goodyear F1 Supercar radials do a nice job (but won't last very long). Chrysler did a fabulous job of cramming classy styling, a great chassis and good old-fashioned musclecar power (without the bad side effects) into a reasonably priced sedan (considering what you're getting).

I have the 2006 black SRT-8 with dark tint and chrome exterior aftermarket parts everywhere, and it looks incredible. I can't drive it without attracting looks and questions. I have installed the jet stage one module and a K&N cold air induction and let me tell you this makes a world of difference. I traded a 2001 trans am WS6 on the SRT and haven't regretted it for a second. The SRT is quicker and faster and looks and drives better and I can take my family along for the fun.

This is a great auto. Very fast and smooth. Better gas mileage than I thought I would get. Average around 18mpg. It's a fun car to drive and has a great sound. Have been very pleased with this car. If you can find one buy it you will be pleased.

My dads owned this car since 2011 when he scored it for a good price with super minor front end damage and a salvage title off the backlot of a dealership. Dealerships owner planned to use for parts but at 60k and such an easy fix my father had to buy and restored it. After clearing the salvage title its been clear sailing to a current 200k miles. Its both his long distance commuter car and occasional family runaround vehicle, never letting anyone down reliability or performance wise. My father treats this car like a third son, with beyond meticulous upkeep and maintenance, only thing he has to replace frequently is tires and balljoints/control arms; but that comes with the territory of not just low sporty cars, but 300’s in general. Super sporty sculpted seats with suede inserts always get compliments especially with all the leather conditioner thats kept the seat rip free all these miles later. The only true draw back of this sports sedan is the rough jarring ride, it lends the interior more creaks and rattles than id like, but my father frequents the super rough roads of the bronx daily. Overall this car has been one of the best cars all around and performs as the day it was built. If you have the opportunity of purchasing one of these fine sports cars do it, you will truly have no regrets with scheduled maintenance. P.s. This is all coming completely unbiased from a diehard Honda enthusiast who would rather get shot in the foot than give an American car the benefit of the doubt, especially a mid 2000s Dodge/Chrysler.

Fueling - make sure it accepts fuel without spit back. Acceleration and braking - will put a smile on your face Fuel economy - not so much - not expected from a relatively large V8 in a 4,200 lb car. Good handling

I love it! This thing beats my old Infinity G 35 hands down. It's faster, better looking, and better built. I was at the nissan dealership getting the G 35 fixed all of the time. What a pile of junk it was compared to this. I have had no problems whatsoever. Great Car

The car has been awesome! I bought w/12k Miles and the Car stock was very fast w/425 Hsp. With few bolt on modes the car is close to 500. A whole group of dedicated followers are on-line waiting to share info. Parts are very reasonable. Gas Mileage is where you would expect, drive like your in the Indy 500 and you'll get 13 MPG, baby it and it's 18. Every time you start your SRT8 a Prius cries. Very tight ride, good handling for a 4200 lbs car with plenty of peddle. You can turbo your ride and have more power than a Lambo but why it has more tha enough. Exhaust makes the car sound like a Beast! SRT8 is a total sleeper and is the most bang for your buck you can possible get!

This is without a doubt the best car I have ever purchased. I have had roughly 16 new vehicles of all makes and models. This car is so fast and fun to drive. It has more horsepower than just about anything on the road. It handles like a race car and accelerates like on too. I bought this car because it was the only 4 door on the dealer's lot with a DVD in it for my 3 year old daughter. She was driving me crazy on road trips.. Little did I know what exactly I had just done. I just purchased the best car for the value on the market today.

I'm a 17 year old and I received this car as a gift from parents. I got the car in November of 2010, with 39,800 miles. In March 2011, I got rid of it (to get a Range Rover). within those 4mo, I had already put 5000+ miles on it. I loved to drive this gas guzzling, 425HP beast. I'm a dragracer, been doing it for 8yrs, and I must say, this car will pin you back in the seat, hard. No matter what speed you floor it at!! Within the 4mo, of owner ship; I only had two problems. 1) Sometimes the AC would start acting funny & not run properly. 2) Once or twice it wouldn't start on the first try, but would on the second try. Other than, I 100000% recommend this car, to ANYBODY. It's a blast to drive!

This is an absolutely superb automobile: built with the highest quality and like a tank. It's power and torque are also fantastic, the design is magnificent. It has every luxury feature imaginable and more so: too long to list. Having carefully researched it is the best four door sedan on the American Market. It eats BMW'S 3 and 5 series for breakfast. Even the vaunted M5 doesn't have it's 420 lbft of torque. Yes there if often a hefty premium but it's worth it!

I have a SRT 8 with 800 miles on it at this time. So far it is every thing I had hoped it would be. the gas mileage is still a bit suspect, but with 425 horses what can one expect? The handling, ride, and performance are outstanding; so much so I am having second thoughts about taking it to 500 horses! I have yet to really push the car, and it may be awhile as there are precious few places one can really get on it.
Having fun!

I'm parting ways with my SRT8 after almost 2 years. My employer is putting us back in company cars. It has been the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. From the day I drove it home I got thumbs up signs from drivers on the highway, people still walk over to talk about it when I'm gassing it up, I've owned Mercedes E class, Audi A6's and various other not so exotic cars but this car has been the best. I average 18 around town, get 21-22 on the hwy, never had a mechanical issue, original brakes, only second set of tires, we live in Minnesota and the traction/stability system kept us on track in the worst weather. Love the U Connect, the Navi, I have had some tickets too, its fast!

I drive about 60 miles a day on both interstate and country two lane roads. The performance is wonderful. The ride is very stable but you do feel the road through the tires and solid suspension which I expected. I find find myself disengaging the traction control so I can experience the true power.The care is all that I expected.I previously owned an BMW M5 but I like this car much better and 20,000 dollars less. I installed a K&N cold air system and have a chip ordered to install also.

The SRT8 Chrysler is the epitome of style, quality, performance, safety, value, design and excitement. We took it to Statesboro,Ga last week from Delray, Beach, Florida to the annual family reunion. It was a huge hit, With EVERYBODY! The ride up and back (500 miles one way) was effortless. I took my wife, my two sons, 20 and 22 with us. It stops on a dime very safely. My other cars are Mercedes 300 TD, BMW M series Roadster and Miata. It was like all four put togther, but better. It is truly an amazing vehicle. A definite winner.

I bought the car because of the great look and the potential for a powerful ride. I was not disappointed. It moves quickly and accelerates even when driving at high speeds. And yes, it makes the sound of a high performance vehicle. The sound system is great as well.

When I was a boy - my dream car was one that didn't exist. An Imperial with a 426 HEMI. Finally - after all these years - that dream has come true and it's called the 300C SRT8. It's a classic American luxury sedan with the heart [and suspension and brakes] of a genuine sports car. And I know all about sports cars. I traded in a 1991 Acura NSX [that I owned for 11 years] to buy my 300C SRT8. And I'm not even slightly disappointed. Oh sure - the NSX was a wonderful car - and handled better - but it's not as fast. There is something very confidence inspiring knowing that you have 425 h.p. just waiting for you. [have you ever watched the movie 'Duel'?! lol] The 300C SRT8 is a VERY nice car.

Good interstate driver. Like the handling on secondary roads. Good cornering. Car feels balanced but I know that the car is front end heavy. Power when I need it but the nav system will get you lost. Left rear power window quit working.

Fun to drive, but in the month I've owned its been in for service twice. Brakes made horrible noise, took it in and was told there was a service notice re the brakes. Pads were replaced under warranty. One week later, same problem. Took the car in again and was told that chrysler wouldn't do anything about the problem and I'd have to live with it. Ashtray has also broken twice. Driver window auto-up has to be fixed. Splash guard under the front spoiler fell off on the highway and Chrysler wouldn't replace under warranty because I didn't stop the car on the interstate and go back to pick up the pieces after they fell off.

Very comfortable for extra tall people due to extra leg room. Excellent acceleration in must move situations. Interior carpet could have been of a higher quality as for the back window area the fabrick lining rear window could have been of a highter quality. Body style is to die for. Classy must be what th "C" stands for.

In over 25 years I have never purchased a new car until this one. One test drive and I simply couldn't wait a year for one to show up at CarMax. Pull up the specs on a 545, an XJR, a Caymen S...heck, check out a $170k DB9. The SRT takes them all on (with my 6'2" wife sitting comfortably in the backseat - try that in a BMW) and costs 50% less besides. I've not figured out, and may never use, 1/3 of the features they packed into this thing but that's OK. It's the perfect car for those who need a practical daily commuter / family hauler but still recall wistfully the mustang/camero/whatever they had in high school. This car is so much fun, I'm not sure why anyone would buy anything else.

The day after trading an '01 M5 for this SRT8, my stomach was in knots of anxiety, but no more. I'm crazy about this car! It has tons of features, is built well, and looks fantastic! It doesn't have the quality materials as the BMW, but it's so much less expensive. I expect this car to be much cheaper to own and repair, the Bimmer was horrific.

At 41000 miles, I give Chrysler the thumbs up for this one. This car has been fun to drive. The tires don't last long but that is a result of the tire melting 425 hp. The brakes also make this car great. The brembos really bring this heavy car to a halt. Overall a great vehicle.

Have the car for almost 2 months. I would never think that I'd buy american auto but ..... Test drove/compared it to both a6s, RL, bmw 530, 350 MB, infinity m 35/45 and lexus 430. None of the cars have the combination of power, comfort, breaking, handling and value for $$$. What a great car!!!! Everything you've read is true. For an everyday driving, it doesn't get any better than this. If you thinking about getting it - buy it, you won't regret.

If you grew up in the 60's as I did then this is the ultimate driving machine. The SRT8 is truly a new age muscle car. Recent trip from Columbia, SC to Lewisville, IN 1404 mile round trip. The SRT8 was great, handling through the turns couldn't be better, and the power is fantastic. Averaged 20 mpg. Not bad for this much horse power. Purchased a 2005 Chrysler 300C last June the 340 hp was okay, but the SRT8 425 is awesome!

I purchased a 2006 300C SRT8 from Carmax and am VERY pleased. The SRT8 has great luxury features (I compare to my Lincoln Town Car) and has superior features to the other 300s. The handling is superb, brakes are unreal, and the 6.1 hemi is the ultimate. An American muscle car V8 to the max. It has incredible throttle response, awe-inspiring power, and a delicious muscle car sound. Sedate and well mannered, it nevertheless will pull like a freight train heading into a black hole when you put your foot in it. Downsides? Compared to my Town Car, it's noisy. Gas mileage ain't in the stratosphere. Plusses? It sticks to the road like glue, has every luxury feature known to man, & HEMI!

I love my new 300!!!! After a waiting period of over 10 months before it came in. The overall fun factor is great (speed,braking,and headturning looks I get). The ride is firm but it's my everyday car. Chrysler/Mercedes hit the nail right on the head with this one. Right now, if I had to buy another one, I would. The gas mileage is better than the suv I just traded.
Can't wait 'til break-in period is over.

Just picked up my new '06 300 SRT8 yesterday. Previously had a 2000 Caddy STS. Took some reading thru the manual to find out all the cool features, which meet or exceed the Caddy. Car has a great combination of power/acceleration, handling, and braking. All in a package that is comfortable, quiet, and reasonably refined. Just close the doors on one and you'll immediately sense the Mercedes-Benz spillover. Some interior bits aren't as plush or refined as MB or Audi's are, but for $20k less (or more), it's a tradeoff I was willing to take. I got a big car with plenty of space, gobs of performance, and tons of features.

this is the fastest and quickest car i have ever owned. gas mileage is at 16mpg in every day driving.it does require premium gas. the tire pressure monitors are a real help in maintaining correct air pressure. i would like oil pressure gauge rather than searching thru the menu for it. but this is a keeper.

After reading so much about Mopar's old muscle, I've always wanted to own one of their legends. DaimlerChrysler's new SRT lineup, especially my new 300, is destined to be legend. I simply can't believe the performance I get with such a big vehicle! It's a night and day difference between the 5.7L and the 6.1L. Hit the gas, and you're goin' 100 MPH Before you know it! And the ride is so smooth at those speeds. My wife screamed when she saw the speedo! Mercedes has taught Chrysler a lot about comfort and styling. Overall it's just a great car, even though the gas mileage stinks.
Having fun at 50

I can actually say that driving is fun again! I traded my '04 330ci in on the srt and havn't had a minute of regret. The ride is reasonably comfortable considering the 20" wheels and lowered height. Of course it doesn't handle like the BMW but who cares! I have pushed it a little off the line and had to let up right away as I don't want to buy tires just yet! I can't wait until it is broken in. It is the ultimate sleeper! Why would anyone want to buy foreign again.
