Wow, not that bad! Daimler is really taking control and influencing Chrysler in a good way. I don't see why Chrysler loves their "Hemi" so much anyway.

uh....Diamler? you mean Mercedes? U dont see why they love their hemis so much? Let me give u some stats ....

340 Horses @ 5000 RPMs
390 Lbs of Torque @ 4000 RPMS
17/25 MPG and you can use regular feul.

0-60 6.3 seconds mind you this car weighs over 4,000 lbs. So anymore questions on why Chrysler loves the HEMI.

I love this car, I got to inspect one up close and it basically feels like an E class, in respect to size and comfort. I do enjoy the look of the car and its got a hell of a motor. would love to drive one however thats the only way to make a decent conclusion on a car

I think it looks terrible from the outside...a true barge, but the inside is decent enough. My mom has been working on engine software for them and has been...ahem...disappointed by the engineering and fit and finish of the cars, though she has been pretty happy with the Hemi engine on the test vehicles she's driven. (Basically she said that that was the only redeeming feature of the car, and she would never buy a DC product knowing how they half-assed the car and the new Durango on which she'd been working for the previous year)

LOL :lol: - so Dodge has their engine management programmed by a girl...?? ;)

That explains why the Viper is so slow... :P

Hehehe...she's a good programmer, no worries :-D

hemi_fan 04-07-2004 07:36 PM

i love it!! but then again, put a hemi in a Geo Metro, and I'll like it too. lol

gigdy 04-07-2004 09:34 PM

hemi_fan 04-07-2004 09:40 PM

wow, im surprised that someone already has a drifting video of one of these. Man, that suspension looks really soft! The Hemi must have some decent power if it can spin the tires under a car that damn heavy.

Garretts_turbo 04-07-2004 09:47 PM

doesnt the hemi have somewhere around 325 horsies?? loads o' torque too. not too surprising they can break the tires loose.
i actually prefer the dodge magnum to this 300C, even thought its a wagon/thing/urban vehicle. looks a lot more brawny and tough. love the crosshair grill!!

T-Bird 04-07-2004 09:56 PM

WOW look above HardcoreSRT4 it was stated it makes 340 hp

RC45 04-07-2004 10:05 PM

They use the E-class shassis, so they are pretty solid.

BTW - I have uploaded a "walk-around" video that I took at the Houston Auto Show - for those that havent seen it in the 360 degree glory yet... ;)

WHat we just saw was the Hemi getting a 360 degree view of the camera man.. :lol:
