2006 Dodge Charger SRT8

In every cloud is a silver lining they say.
Michel Deslauriers at auto123.com seems to have gotten a deal on the silver lining part.
He gives a good review on a 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8. That he seems to ahh, gotten a deal on. Something about a automotive journalist and 222 km/h on a Canadian highway. That can be dangerous to your wallet.

Future of the 300C

On Nov21st Chrysler revealed sketches that may suggest the future direction of the Chrysler 300C . "It could be the face of the future Chrysler cars, though certainly none of that has been decided," Chrysler spokesman Rick Deneau said.
He said Chrysler released the sketches nearly two months before the Detroit auto show in a bid to gauge public reaction to the concept models. Erich Merkle, an auto analyst with Grand Rapids-based IRN Inc is quoted that "It's more curvaceous and doesn't have quite that block look that the 300C provides"

2007 Chrysler 300C CRD

If you are in France you could have a 300CRD (common-rail diesel) with a Mercedes-Benz a 215-hp, turbocharged and intercooled, 3.0-liter diesel V-6. With 376 lb-ft of torque, just 11 lb-ft less than the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, this engine propels the 300 to 62 mph in 7.6 seconds, only 1.2 seconds slower than the Hemi. And it returns an average of 29 mpg when cruising at 80 mph. Unfortunately, the 300C CRD isn't offered in America. The diesel's abundant torque, available from idle, means that the car always feels lively. The 300C CRD's top speed is 141 mph-WOW !

300C better than a Bentley ?

Now here's a man who knows his automobiles. Leading Queensland, Australia businessman Craig Gore, who is co-owner of Team Australia, which campaigns two cars in the Atlantic Series as well as two cars in the Champ Car World Series. Is parking his Bentley Black Label Arnage T Mulliner at home in his Gold Coast garage and using a new black Chrysler 300C as his daily drive car. He is quoted in a article at V8x.com that “It looks great, has plenty of power and rides just as good as the Bentley". He's got the right idea.

Custom Wheels Galore !

A good place to find custom wheels is at Wayneswheels.net. I counted 274 brands of wheels on their site. Just guessing ten or more different styles per brand, that comes up to about more than 2740 styles to choose from. Think they might have a style you like ?




I'm partial to this style of P.Miller's Signature PM506. They are really cool.

Performance Under the Hood

Want to beef up what's under the hood, looking for some hot headers and exhaust?
Over at Tbyrne Motorsports they are offering some good prices on JBA Headers/Exhaust through a group purchase process. The "Fine Print" for this can be seen in the Group Purchase section on their website. They need 10 or more orders by Monday, November 20th for this to go through. The first batch will be ordered as soon as they receive 10 orders.
JBA has been building and testing headers for the 5.7L HEMI since it was introduced in 2003. JBA has spent countless hours testing and tuning to engineer the perfect exhaust for the Magnum and Charger including SRT8 models. The end result is an ultra high flow system that makes real power with the authentic sound of a true muscle car without annoying interior resonance common on other systems.
