My Boy Has A 300c With The Hemi Engine And Man That Thing Is Fast. Has Anyone In Acurazine Raced One Of Those. I Could Never Keep Up 0-60, Then I Catch Some Ground When Vtech Kicks In But Over All It Smokes Me. I Am Not Talking About Those Wannabes With Out The Hemi Engine, Neither The 55k Srt8 Just The 300c.

 

I thought the 300C was only good after 100..havent had the opportunity yet

 

the 5.7L Hemi has 340hp and 390lb/ft of torque. 0-60 around 5.6

vs.

3.2 V6 with 270 (or 250-ish) hp and 238lb/ft of torque... 0-60 around 5.8-5.9 (if you are good with stickshift)

yes... 300c is plenty fast... I have driven it and although it handles really well for the car it's size it still feels like driving a bunker.

Personally I love the exterior of the 300c... granted it looks like a brick, but one can be damn sure it will not be mistaken for anything else on the road.

The only issue I had with the 300c is the quality control and it's electrical system - both of them were rated below average by cosumer reports.

In the end I chose the TL over the 300c... I am willing to trade of a little performance for a lot better reliability and resale value.

 

I DRIVE HIS CAR ALL THE TIME. IT'S FEELS LIKE A TANK BUT THAT ENGINE IS SICK. YOU CAN REALLY FEEL THE TORQUE IN THAT CAR. BUT THE STEERING IS HORRIBLE. I STILL WOULDN'T TRADE MY TL FOR AN AMERICAN CAR. HE ALREADY HAS HAD TO TAKE FOR SERVICE ATLEAST 5 TIMES AND IT ONLY HAS 22K MILES.

 

YOU ARE SO DAMN RIGHT.

 

I looked at a 300c, but it was just too big and inefficient a car. The interior was also unattractive - lots of flat plastic and chromed plastic everywhere. Agree ^^^^ too. I didn't want to trust Mercedes E-class electronics, either. The exterior looks good, albeit huge, though.

 

I drove a 300C on and off for a couple of days - rental that had 65 miles on it when I got it. Honestly, I wasn't impressed. Build quality, fit, and finish were WELL below what I would have expected for the car. As far as power goes, considering the power the motor is rated for the car should be quicker that it is. The Hemi technology isn't exactly cutting edge technology either. The car drives like the tank it is as well. Plows into the corners badly when pushed and it doen't like quick weight transfer at any rate. I would have choosen the TL, G35, Pontiac GXP or a Maxima over the 300C all things being equal. Flame away!

 

What Type Of Education Taught You To Type Like This? I'm Really Curious Because This Is Just Way Too Uncomfortable...

Edit: Wait... i'm going to take a guess and say you posted this thread with a mobile phone using T9?
