More Detail The Chrysler 300C SRT8 with Detail Pictures

Full sized, rear wheel drive luxury is back in vogue. Thanks to the introduction of the Chrysler 300C, consumers have a choice that goes beyond the dated Lincoln Town Car or the expensive BMW 7 Series. With the release of the 300C, Chrysler is doing its part in revolutionizing full size car performance as the 300C is edgy, luxurious, and in the case of the SRT8 model, extremely fast. Read on to learn how you can maximize the performance of your Chrysler 300C SRT8 with a pair of trusty, potent aftermarket enhancements.

Three decades after the 300 designation was retired, Chrysler resurrected the 300 name and placed it on a shortened version of its big LH sedan. The 300M - as it was called -- was praised for its smooth style and luxurious appointments, however the V6 powered, front wheel drive model failed to live up to the vaunted ancestry of the original 300 series built by Chrysler. Thus, the car was considered only a 300 in name, not in substance.

More Detail The Chrysler 300:
The Chrysler 300 letter series were high-performance luxury cars that were built in very limited numbers by Chrysler Corporation in the United States between 1955 and 1965. It was the trademark of the model to use a new letter of the alphabet as a suffix and it reached 300L by 1965.

The Chrysler 300 letter series were significant in American automobile history as the cars were the ones that rekindled interest in performance among major American manufacturers after World War 2. Because of this significance, the Chrysler 300 is considered as the muscle car ancestor even though it was much more exclusive and expensive.

Chrysler also had another series named 300. This was the Chrysler 300 Non-Letter series. This series involved full-sized automobiles produced by Chrysler from 1963 until 1971. The Chrysler 300 Non-Letter Series was the replacement for the 1961 Chrysler Windsor.

The Chrysler 300 was a proud and prestigious car during the 1950s, but it fell into anonymity during the 60s and then was never heard of in the automotive landscape for more than 30 years. But now, it has returned as the Chrysler 300C Luxury Sedan.

The Chrysler 300 returns and is by far "the best returning-to-glory car."

The 2008 Chrysler 300C luxury sedan is no doubt an impressive vehicle. It has a powerful 6.1 HEMI engine, full navigation, moon roof, and a 322 watt 13 speaker "kicker" stereo system. To top that off, the 2008 Chrysler 300C luxury sedan is ForbesAutos' highest quality car in the near-luxury segment; topping other cars such as the Audi A4, BMW 3 series, Lexus IS, Cadillac CTS, and the Mercedes-Benz C Class.
