I have gone round there on the roof, I know what I'm talking about." : Sabine Schmitz Just noticed that there's only three colours available, and they're all neutral - bit of a shame. (silver, black, and grey). I still want one though. Greg. Have you heard how the Germans pronounce Daimler-Chrysler? "Daimler" $72k is a pretty incredible price considering its only 20% dearer than the 5.7L 300C, but offers more than 20% more power. It just proves that the price of the 5.7L 300C is over-inflated. In the US, the 6.1L V8 costs about 40% more than the 5.7L.

PULP http://www.nextcar.com.au/n.chrysler.300C.srt8.06apr.html I like the car, but this new larger Hemi seems to be using traditional technology rather than modern engine evolution to achieve its greater outputs. Well, its in the money bracket that most buyers wont be able to go near, but it is a special car. What's impressive is its weight: only 1.88T and over 400hp NA. But its not multi valve or VVT. Its rev-limit is 6200, so those valve improvementsmay have produced even more power,..but where do you stop? Build a smaller motor, achieve the same HP and get better than 14L-100kms.

You can get equal or better performance at a much cheaper price from a Holden V8 which is also cheaper to run. Daryl > 20" tyres [tires] and a MASSIVE 13.25L sump, is that some kinda record? Well, the Lamborghini Espada only had 15" wheels (in an era when 13 and 14 were the norm) but, IIRC, took something like 15L of oil on an oil change with filter. Further, IIRC, the air filter was common to several models of tractor, but the V12 ran one per bank.

If they imported it from the US instead, it could be imported without any duty, due to the free trade agreement. But I guess only Austria makes the RHD versions :( > http://www.nextcar.com.au/n.chrysler.300C.srt8.06apr.html Nice. :) SignatureCheers, Rod. |
