Default Chrysler wasted my gas

but it was worth it. When you haven't had some races lately you get desperate. lol Well coming home from work a white 300C rides next to me for a long while. Hell I don't think of these cars as performance cars so I didn't think anything of it. Well he gunned it and all I could tell was it had aftermarket exhaust which actually sounded good, but rather quiet. Not wanting to go 80 in a 45 from a roll race I ignored it. Just so happened the redlight turned yellow ahead. We wait and the light turns green and he guns it. He got about a fender on me off the line. I have crappy 275 Riken Raptors in the rear right now (had to get tires in a hurry) so I short shifted 1st but out of habit I slammed 2nd and just went completely traction less. I was sitting there with the rear going back and forth through the intersection. He got about half a carlength on me then I short shifted to 3rd and shot my nose ahead of him and I let off the throttle. I had proven my point. Damn crazy Chrysler owners, what was he thinking???

How is a waste worth it?
Wouldn't that mean it wasn't a waste?

Was it the 5.7 300c or the 6.1 300c SRT8?

A 300C doesn't come with a V-6.

I have no idea, it had dual exhaust and big looking wheels. (I'd guess 19"s?) I don't know my Chryslers. It just had what I said and I noticed a deep sounding exhaust. Looked clean though for a 300

I'm ready to pull the trigger on some tires but I don't know which ones. Its between some 555Rs, M/Ts, or Toyo TQs. This is my current DD so I'm afraid the M/Ts won't last but a month. 555Rs don't hook that great but last. And the TQ's I know nothing about.

I've heard nothing but good things about the TQs, even about the no-sidewall 315/35-18s. Last longer than Mickeys and hook just about as good, even halfway decent in the rain. I'd call it a good compromise tire, though I have no first hand experience with them, so take my words with a grain of salt.

The 300 comes with a V6 a 300C has one of the Hemi's in it. There is a difference.

Nice kill. Get better tires for sure. Hate to hear you say you got waxed cause of tires...

300C owners thoughts: "I know this Mach 1 will take me from a roll, but I know how to launch and I'm betting he doesn't so I'll see how long it takes him to catch me".

~ few seconds later ~

"Yep I was right yet another muscle car owner that can't drive! Took him till 3rd gear to catch me!"

Yea I got alittle carried away with the throttle. I'd say he had me up until 45-50mph.

wrong.

A chrysler 300 has a V6, but a chrysler 300C is a 5.7L/6.1L only.
