ROAD & TRACK SUPPLEMENT

[Mr. DODGE]

You gotta go get the May R&T................The magazine has a good atricle on the 300/C.......BUT the "GOTTA HAVE" is the dedicated supplement on the 300/C that comes with that issue!
I still have the one I got when the 300ZX first came out.
Yea we had a Turbo 2 Seater with 5 speed trans.
Let me get back to the "OTHER" side of the "OTHER" Cars section for us NON SRT drivers!!

Road & Track Photo Gallery: Chrysler 300C
Power and poise well beyond its price.

The all-new Chrysler 300C is one stylish ride. With its vertical grille, tall beltline and chop-top-looking greenhouse, this new rear-drive sedan has a presence that is powerful, dramatic and regal. Stylized touches abound inside as well, including tortoise-shell steering wheel trim, analog clock atop the center console and chrome trim accents surrounding the wristwatch-like faces of the speedometer and tachometer and the shiftgate. Add in the 5.7-liter 340-horsepower V-8 Hemi coupled to a 5-speed automatic transmission that’s lifted straight from the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and you have a lot of class for the cash: Even fully-optioned — including high-end luxuries such as a navigation system, ultrasonic parking assist, 380-watt sound system with 6-disc CD and MP3 player, and a Uconnect hands-free wireless system that works with your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone — it’s virtually impossible to bump the price of the 300C past the $38,000 mark.

Look for a road test by Executive Editor Douglas Kott in the May 2004 issue.

HUH! All the interior Pics appear to be from a 300 V6! I like the Chrome shifter over the Tortoise Shell. Why did R&T include V6 interior pics for a review of the 300C V8?

[cpvest2]

that speedo pic is from a c because i test drove a touring and it does not have the compas in the dash, just the temp.

[DownUnder]

No, E55 KEV is right. It's not from a 300C because the 300C comes with a 160MPH speedo, the 300 with the 2.7 and 3.5 engines have the 140MPH speedos.

[CEO]

yes DU and kevo are correct

Now if you had bought a SRT-4 while yoou were waiting, DCX would have sent you the supplement I never have suscribed to R&T, but I got one sent to me. I asume DCX sent them to recent (if Feb 03 counts as recnet)Dodge vehicle purchasers. Nice, I just love the exterior. Twin .50s on the front fenders would perfect it I would wish for a slightly less retro treatment of the gauges. Pick one of the more modern fonts from the 50s Still a great ride though. What I want the wife and kids protected by when I'm not piloting them

Still have to wait for the SRT-8 model. Seeing that the limiter is set for 126-mph.

Half tempted this weekend to drive one at Jack Powell but afraid I would buy the damn car and then really piss off the woman.

Usually the opinions are the other way around. I hear more people saying that it looks much larger in person!

[cpvest2]

I was thinking cadillac deville but really the car seems much smaller, I like that though because i was affraid that this thing would be a boat and look like one too. It really dosen't, I like the way chrylser made it look huge but keep it around the same size, exterior dimensions, as the 300M. Granted that the think is strecthed and looks three hundred times better than the m.

If anyone local who is actually buying a 300 wants my copy, let me know. I'm too lazy to mail it And only to someone buying the car. I know I have collected alomost everything in print about the SRT

[GMLind]

I went out and purchased the R&T for May, which has a nice write up. But, I didn't see any additional info or supplement. Does it only come with subscription (i.e., in the plastic bag in the mail?). Any chance someone could scan a copy or fax it to me? My fax is (816) 478-3115.

Thanks
Mike

I have yet to go and look at the R&T magazine, but as GMLind asked does the magazine come with an additional supplement that is rapped in a plactic bag or is it a part of the magazine?

Thanks
