Bold? You bet. But you don't have to be a mafioso to appreciate Chrysler's 300C - Digital Trends
This leaves the Chrysler 300, and its stable-mate the Dodge Charger , standing as the last bastion of the post-war American dream. Fortunately, the biggest Chrysler isn’t just a symbol. after all, there are some very good reasons that full-size V8 sedans are going the way of the polar bear. But the Chrysler 300, particularly in its V8 form, makes a case that — certain impracticalities aside — owning a massive, Hemi-powered yacht isn’t just worth it … but a matter of life and death. Running to the car, and just barely resisting the urge to do a melodramatic Dukes of Hazard style hood slide I activated both of the car’s sport modes and took off. Fortunately, my Chrysler 300C press demonstrator was equipped with the optional 363-horsepower, 5. 7-liter Hemi V8 — the perfect engine for mounting a daring rescue mission. With the transmission in Sport mode, the throttle response is tightened and shift times on the excellent eight-speed transmission are dropped from 400 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds — so quick they are almost unnoticed. Still, American car companies have known how to cram big V8s into big cars for a long time. Where the 2015 Chrysler 300 stands out is its handling. Source: www.digitaltrends.com
