Are you two fans of the adaptive dampening system in your cars? That's one upgrade I think I'd really like to add to my car that wasn't an option and isn't supported by the aftermarket so I'd have take the factory parts. Worth it?

[@Welcometofacsistube]

snek love it actually. It's noticeable and works great. On sport, it holds the 4400 lbs well. Its no viper but its surprisingly agile. It's the small ass tire size that holds the car back.

[@snek9353]

@@Welcometofacsistube That's good to hear, I have a '14 300C AWD, didn't go SRT cause I wanted AWD. I'm pretty much working my way towards making a AWD SRT. The shocks are one difficulty that's complicated but I think worth it. It appears most of the computers themselves are largely the same, I have the SRT pages and such, others have swapped dashes, etc. So I think I can buy all the Adaptive Dampening parts and integrate them. Pricey proposition though, hopefully this summer I can hunt down a totaled SRT to snag everything I want from it.

The srt8 300 got pulled just as FCA was getting really good with high performance models with dodge and Jeep honestly I bet the 300 would have had a boost in sales with a 392 300 people love sleeper cars and a 300 srt8 that has different performance, suspension, and brakes packages with no hellcat, 392, other badges on the side would be really cool for the true dark dark I am different then everyone else buyer. The charger is bad ass no lies the challenger is amazing but when I see a SRT8 300 that guy he is different and has nothing to prove.

[@storyteller1749]

I would say the biggest reason the 300srt didn't sell well is because nobody knew about it till after the fact. And sales people simply didn't push the srt version. I recently saw a used srt8 for sale at a dealership but by the time I was able to go look at it it was gone. Would have loved to buy it. I'm still happy that Chrysler has decided to continue the 300. Definitely one of my favorite cars that I have owned. Looking for another one now.

As a 21 year old I love the 300C SRT8 My uncle used to have one and thats where my love for it began In black it just looks so classy, elegant and bespoke and makes you like a million dollars everywhere you go AND on top of that everytime I took my uncle's 300 out around town to sun some errands for him, I would turn heads everywhere I go with the sound of that 6.4 HEMI I really hope chrysler never discontinues the 300C SRT8 I'd deadass go up to Chrysler's CEO and pull out my front teeth infront of him with a bolt cutter just to have a brand new one in Right Hand Drive (I live in South-Africa coincidently) Sad thing is Chrysler pulled out of RSA in 2016 I think it was and I fear Jeep might follow suit if the Dollar/Rand exchange rate weakens any further

[@OldGamerDude1]

Thanks for all the mopar content. I’m a mopar freak and walking encyclopedia too. Just a quick correction for you. At 11:29 of the video you talk about a new feature for the 2015 model year being adaptive cruise control. 2012 was the first year for it in the SRT8. Mine had it. Also please add something somewhere about one of the coolest options they ever had that Chrysler dropped, the heated and cooled cup holders that were awesome! Until you have had a car with truly usable and effective ones like the 300C had. You don’t know what your missing. Thanks, keep up the great work! (First video I have watched, I’m sure I’ll be a pain and correct some other stuff) (ones I have owned) 07 jeep SRT8, 09 Jeep SRT8 highly moded and magnussen supercharged, 08 charger superbee, moded and supercharged, 12 challenger moded and yes you guessed it supercharged, 2012 300C SRT8, 13 300S Hemi AWD about to be moded, multiple SRT10 Rams including of course a supercharged one, 15 Reg cab on the way, 2 vipers and many more I’m sure I’m forgetting about. My kid has 2 SRT4 calibers one modified, he also has a supercharged (of course) Dakota were about to do a hemi swap with, he owned a 08 charger SRT8 and a 06 supercharger 300C SRT8 also already...he’s 17.

[@vr4787]

FCA axed a lot of good power train options in the line up that could have been better with time. For example, the 4.7 Magnum V8 was just starting to put out 310 hrs power and 330 ft lb. torque when it got cut in 2013. It still had a lot to give!

[@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus]

I have a 2014 (actually 2013 according to VIN) SRT Core in Australia. It is incredibly economical for a barge, getting 9litres/100km ( about 26mpg)on trips and love it. Tons of performance from an under-stressed 392 and it’ll still look good in 20 years. Occasionally I’ll take it for a “sporting” drive and it never disappoints. Service costs are a bit high but that’s mainly because I take it to the Chrysler dealer, and much of that is the “West Australia tax” kicking in. Handles better and uses less gas than my old BMW 5-Series so I’m pretty happy. It’s sad to see they’ve dropped them and no more will be coming to Aus. Downside: visibility is an issue with the high glass line and it’s easy to just not see those stupid divider kerbs car-park architects insist on. And ground clearance is a thing - lost count of how many times I’ve chunked the front spoiler or bottomed-out on badly designed ramps or speed-bumps. Not so much these days as I actively look for them in advance. But it endures and is a beautiful car on a trip. Also a scratch magnet - fuckwits with SUVs can not resist opening doors against it or dragging shopping bags along the paint. The car park designers think we all drive Hyundai Getz these days.

Although I do internally wish Chrysler would bring back the 300 SRT for the United States, it does make sense why they cancelled the car to begin with, and honestly, this is a great idea from a business standpoint.

[@nekoprincess7489]

@@snek9353 In the past I'd say brands did compete with themselves a lot more, but I really don't see that much anymore. That's partly why GM got rid of Pontiac in 2009 and Ford got rid of Mercury. I don't think Chrysler (the brand) would want to build a high performance car, for the same reason Lincoln wouldn't have a performance car to compete with the Mustang and Shelby GT500, also that Buick and Cadillac wouldn't have models to compete with Chevrolet's Camaro and Corvette

My Wife has one in the garage 2013 model year. I think we have 8,000 miles on it,and it is fully loaded. We bought a 2017 Ram Sport 4x4 and that is what she drives. I have a 2018 Ram Sport 2 wheel drive I use for work. It is odd how you can own such a beautiful car that is fast,and not drive it. The Sport 4x4 has ram boxes and is the night edition,same as my 2018. I have a lead foot so I do not take the 300 out very often. The 300 was ahead of the other SRT models in 2013 when it comes to technology. There are 3 driving modes and launch control. We have debated selling it ,and I have been thinking seriously about taking it to a well known speed shop for upgrades. getting it to 600 HP would make it very competitive with today's big dogs like Hell cat Aside from horsepower I would add tire size simular to scat pack. I have with launch control gotten a 3.8 0 to 60,almost broke my neck when it spun for a split second then hooked. I have the time slip. I had to let off immediately after 60,do to not wanting to crash. The much wider tires would correct that. So considering the year and the investment to add performance up grades it will make a great project car that has the luxury sedan look and feel.

[@troybacon35]

I personally would have gotten a 300SRT8. I had a 2013 300SRT8 and when I decided to get a new vehicle I went with a 2019 Challenger WB 392.

Mercedes is a big part of this cars existence, starting from the E class platform it uses,(S class suspension on the challenger) And I'm almost 100% sure the SRT line up with an idea from Mercedes so that they could have an AMG like division... The performance/track Computer menu for SRT models use is similar to what the AMG models had at the time...

[@American-Motors-Corporation]

I have the real reason it got cancelled is mostly because the company was in financial ruins... most likely Auto industry today every car manufacturer has the same problem and that's the fact they can't sell you a new car why because they cost too damn much!! On top of that the auto manufacturers biggest competitor happens to be all of the products they have produced every year for at least the past 10 years otherwise known as the used car market!! But of course the biggest competitor to the new and used car markets happens to be the repair market... As in when money's tight people have a tendency to just fix what they have rather than go by a new or a new used vehicle!! So if all of the automaker's would get with thetimes and lower the prices and actually want to sell in volume then perhaps it would be better for everyone!!

Seria buena idea que Chrysler decida traer una cantidad limitada de los nuevos Chryslers 300srt8 para vender, a ver si el publico decide interesarte otra vez en este tremendo carro y probablemente aumentarian las ventas y Chrysler decidiera vender los 300srt de lleno a Estados Unidos y Canada.

[@waydigga1982]

I really like the look of the 300 srt8 and its a shame they didn’t sell better. As a buyer, it would’ve been cool if they kept the 392 300 going just for the sake of having a cheaper alternative to the Charger. I’d imagine that they’d be deeply discounted if they just sat on dealer lots.

Own a MY16 300 SRT in white with the 8-speed ZF Over here in Australia and I love it.

[@russianoleg]

Can you do reliability and flaws video on 2012 srt8?

I’m still hurt I was in highschool when the 2nd gens came out knowing I couldn’t afford it at the time

[@lesmurray1732]

I have a 300C SRT diesel in the UK since 2009 and I love it. Why did Chrysler stop selling cars in the UK?

[@mattm5786]

Do a Chevy Impala ss why was it cancelled

[@koreanfriedchildren]

Such a cool ride

[@jimpage4129]

I have an 06 SRT 8 and I love it . Runs 13 @ 107 with a few mods .

[@stevefriesenecker9458]

Got an 2006 str8 also. Does yours automatically shift into 2nd gear once it detects wheelspin in the 4000 rpm and above range. With traction control off and auto stick. Infuriating! 🤬🤬🤬 hoping a diablo tuner can eliminate that. Any ideas?

[@ferno_verdugo82]

I have a 2019 300 limited my first 300 I love it 😄👍

[@LarryTheButcher]

Funny story. I am thinking about building a project car that I can afford. So the idea I thought of last night was to take a Porsche Boxster 6 speed manual and build a turbo V6 and put it in a 300M. Not really related to the video but it is a 300.

[@Welcometofacsistube]

Larry The Butcher so you're going to downgrade the car then?

[@jeffreytaylor7486]

I have one and love it. I can afford a new car but love my 2006 srt8. The only thing I would exchange for is trackhawk. 100,000+

[@JayJetzon]

How can I get one in the US?

[@MarspeedCars]

Other than buying used older ones maybe you can import them but not sure on the rules about doing that

[@stevenfrazier9676]

They should have made the 6.4 liter with the 8 speed auto. That would have been cool.

[@TC14KID]

After the Ram TRX and the redeye charger and track hawk I have a feeling these will be back sometime in 2022-23 people want these back and FCA is listening.

Well developed, succinct, summary of the 300's descent.

[@adamflax4225]

Thanks for the info

[@LIRRM1]

That was a great video Thanks

[@malamri424]

I like the older SRT, also it's better for modding and doesn't have the crappy MDS (shuts down 4 cylinders but with reliability issues).

[@Maloy7800]

Chrysler 300C and Dodge Magnum were built on Mercedes W211 platform. So yeah, for the first time in American history an American car could compare to Mercedes AMG. Because it WAS the Mercedes AMG.

[@SurelyYewJest]

If the 05-10 SRT8 had the 11-20 interior in it, That would be my perfect 300C SRT8. The current one looks fine, it's just that the rear looks less good (aside from the LED night lighting), and the rear looks less finished than the 05-10 one. IMO the 05-10 model just has more presence.

[@PTAldridge]

Wagon version is awesome!!!!
