  • With Australia the first market in the world to get the 2016 Chrysler 300 SRT, we jumped behind the wheel to see what the refreshed car is like.
    Featuring an 8-speed automatic gearbox and revised styling, we hit the track to test out the car's launch control feature and to see whether it's still good at laying down 11s.

    I love it because it's got a nice 6.4 V8 engine in it its not stupidity expensive like the AMG 6.3 or a BMW M3 and the Chrysler looks good outside and inside. Great work from SRT performance

    My brother is the owner of the 2013 SRT8 ,and all i could say is this would be a huge upgrade,so many better features and etc! Personally i'm a Mercedes lover and would go for the C63 any day but one of my favorite things about the 300c is that it has a surround sound system in it,and if you're a music lover then you'll definitely enjoy cruising with this car.
    Downside would be the fuel consumption...It drinks the fuel like no other lol.

This 300 is adorned in beautiful chrome and is how the 300 should look, it doesn’t look like a menacing muscle car in terms of looks, which is a good thing, but once you put your foot down it’s like a rocket!

It sucks they still kneecap it with 245 rubber in back still, and the new rims look bad. the new seats, if the same as the Dodge line up are a excellent upgrade, as is the 8 speed auto and gauges/Uconnect graphics. other than the rims , great job on build, too bad I can't get one.

    The 8 speed auto's shifting speed is awesome, but I honestly can't get over the dial shifter instead of a knob. This means I have to use the paddle shifters to change gears manually, and I'd rather use the shifter like in a real manual.
    Everything else in the car is absolutely golden though.

    I like to think that I'm good at converting metric to imperial like But this KW shit messes me up. The numbers are always lower so it makes me think the vehicle isn't as powerful as it really is. And on a somewhat related note, newton mestres or foot pounds of torque are just that, units of torque. There are no such things as "torques." That's like saying something is "57 longs" as an example. It's "57 feet long. Or 57 metres long." Same goes for torque. You need to say what units you are using.
