Default 300c Srt8 or C6

Hello,

Just wondering what you guys think of the 300C srt8 compared to the C6..would any of you give yours up your 2007 C6 for brandnew 300C srt8?


Which holds more value?

I have not driven the 300C SRT-8, but I would say take a look at it if you need a 4-door. I don't and thus I never drove one. If you do need the extra room I would look first at the G8 and CTS-V.

I would not trade my Vette for a 300C SRT-8, but maybe the G8 or the CTS-V if I needed too. I doubt the 300C will hold the value when compared to any Vette.

Probably not a good place, to ask a question, like that.

Don't take this the wrong way. The 300C feels like a heavy pig compared to the Vette. It might be a lot of fun as long as you do not drive the Vette first. That way you will have no comparison.

If you have to ask such a question, you only deserve to drive a K-car.



Really now, a 4 door tonne of bricks vs a sports car?

I don't usually respond to these sort of threads let alone read them but this comparison may take the cake. An overweight big box with an eight cylinder that seats at least four is being compared to a C6. If you're even thinking about this sell the Vette ASAP.

You might as well go for the Volvo P1800.

But...but... I LIKE P1800 Volvos! Not as much as my 356C Porsches, nor my C6, but I like P1800 Volvos!

Not a bad suggestion actually. Know where I can find a nice '72 ES?

Beyond the total mismatch in vehicles the build quality of Chrysler products is still suspect. They do not age well.

Walk down to your local Thrifty Car Rental lot and look at a Chrysler. Then imagine it with an SRT/8 badge on the back.

It's one of a very few products Chrysler offers without a simulated wood siding option.
