Chrysler Ups 300C to 425 hp
Chrysler's home-run hit, the 300C, will get a boost to 425 hp for the 2006
model year. With a boost in displacement for its Hemi engine, the newly
minted 300C SRT-8 will bump up to 6.1 liters of Hemi power and a full 425
hp, the same power that the best Hemis of the '60s produced. In addition to
the hot engine, SRT-8s also receive a chin spoiler, a small rear spoiler,
a new rear fascia and larger exhaust tips; four-piston caliper Brembo
brakes; a race-tuned suspension with 20-inch wheels and tires; and sport
bucket seats with suede inserts, as well as a 60-mph acceleration time of about
5.0 seconds.
