Quote: The lady of the household daily drives a 300C SRT8 rain sleet or snow and it rips for what it is. When it comes to value I think a used 300C SRT8 is very hard to beat. That is if you are looking for an American sedan with some bells and whistles. Aka great winter beater...way more comfortable than our old '76 Valiant 4-door with the 408/4-speed combo.
An SRT8 IS trimmed out a little nicer than most A-bodies .
The thing with these "new" muscle cars is they are so refined in how they deliver the performance as in no drama.
A retired GM tech buddy of mine was around when Tri power 427/435Hp 'Vettes were new and was finishing up when the ZO6 came out. He said both cars were capable of 150 MPH. The difference was that in 1967 it was a bellowing, both hands on the wheel, white knuckle, you best be paying attention to what you're doing assault on all your senses ride whereas the ZO6 was a slouched in the seat 1 hand on the wheel and listening to your favorite tunes on the CD cruise. Oh look Martha, we're doing a buck fifty. .
