Both cars have 20" wheels - but the 300 SRT8 leaves the factory that way and I am more confident in it being a better ride because of that.

And - all day that Cat Woman scenario keeps running through my head... Laughing

The Charger drove very nicely... Tomorrow is the 300's turn. Has all the tech goodies I need, too... 30GB hard drive for MP3s, Sirius, GPS, DVD/CD audio, Bluetooth phone...

Make sure it does in fact have 425 HP. What road are you testing it on? Can you get it on 80 or 287 to open her up?

I got the Charger on to 80... But the 300 is down by you - might be able to get on 287. Or maybe I'll come scatter some gravel in your parking lot!!

The dealer with the 300 insists on riding along... And dictating the route. Lame. Still loved it. Was like getting into my car, except it thundered alive when I started it - and there was no question it had power. Just didn't like the outdated radio - had a screen, but was wasted with no satellite radio and old DVD based GPS. That is a semi-easy fix though. Will probably be going with the 300 now - just researching how much this radio swap will cost me... $2300 if I let the dealer do it... That is a bit much. Looks like 1/3 that if I do it myself.

Did the dealer allow a 0-60mph or 1/4 mile run?

It wound up being the popular choice according to the vote...



Picked it up Saturday... Have to learn how to drive all over again to keep it from spinning the wheels, fish tailing, etc... Laughing

One crazy thing (to me anyway)... I was already doing about 30MPH last night, and then hit the gas (not too hard even), and I spun the tires anyway. Big difference from the V6!

I'd have to go with the Charger, the 300 is so common out here. Seems everwhere I turn I see them. When I see a Charger I'm still turning to look at them.

Both are nice cars, just prefer the Charger. Actually considering geting either a Charger or a Camaro sometime Grin

In my dream world, I'd have to chose to drive my Mustang or Camaro every day....

But those 300's look nice. Gratz J... try not to do 100+ with the kids in the car Wink Crazy
