Brakes stop great, the only thing they forgot to show is the brake dust and the rotor wear problem on all 2006 srt8s. And if you were over 12000 miles warranty wouldn't replace them. I know cause it happened to me. The brake pads are so agressive that my rotors needed to be replaced and my pads looked like new but the dust is unreal. Last dodge product I buy, cause it was a factory defect and Chrysler refused to pay for it at 19000 on my srt8.
come on people. If your talking shit about the car is probably that you cant even afford one. And by the way for you americans dissing Canada you only wish you live here just look at your fuckin president.
try just try to stop being the steriotypical ignorant american and try learing a little about the truth on how both our countries interact. if you did you just might find out how much your country relies on Canada
it aint my job to teach idiots that cant do it themselves. simply not enough time in the world. you remember school dont you? cant figure shit out on your own hey? here ill help you get started... ready? natural resorces. something that your great country is a war over right now isnt it?
your one of THOSE retards that say the US invaded Iraq for its oil eh? HAHA.. well, its hopeless.. i have no time for ppl like you, nor the patience.. do the world a favor and kill yourself! Thanks! :-)
um no how about we stop sending oil to the us and see how you can do with out canada your #1 supplier of oil do you like the sound of 7-10 dollars a gallon? Or how about we take all of our uranium back out of your nukes. Um or take back all our soft wood that has gone into your homes over the past 30 or 40 years and you can all live in tents! Oh yeah i forgot there made out of plastic that comes from oil damm or how about we stop sending you wheat do you like bread? so ya wanna re think that ?
lol ok now you sound like a complete retard... why dont you look at the US oil reserves.. such as that from ALASKA, not CANADA.. umm, your uranium.. you think canada is the only country in the world with such elements? no.. didn't think so.. the US is canada's guardian.. look at your military.. hell, whats your population.. ALSO, to make this clear. i referred to coronet's FRENCH homeland. so fuck off queer
clearly you're a typical american that knows nothing why don't you Google where your oil comes from and see how much you don't get from Alaska and uh yeah Google the uranium thing to youre the idiot man why don't you go and read maps with miss south Carolina
lol yeh and your the typical anti-american cunt. america is the grestest country in the world. go fuck yourself, i dont have time for your ignorance. and in all honesty, every country relies upon another; some more than others. point is, you non-americans have an extreme hatred towards my country. oh and some advice: use punctuation. you sound like a 3 year old with no grammar education. good day mate
guys guys, relax!! Don't you know Holland is the greatest country in the world? We don't need oil nor we need uranium.. WE HAVE AMSTERDAM DUDE! that's all you need!
no you get most of your oil from canada and Mexico and Venezuela you do get oil from Alaska but its only prob like 10 % of what you use so its not much
wtf how about they put more attention on the suspension/handling, brakes are great but what use are they if your car cant handle for shit around a RACE TRACK WHERE PEOPLE ACTUALLY RACE not on a 1/4 mile strip
i just bought this car 2 weeks ago...and i must say I EFFIN LOVE IT!!! and yes the brakes are very serious!! If you havnt driven this car shut your mouth and go take a test drive!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This car is crap... its the essence of everything that is American...TOO BIG, OVER THE TOP, POINTLESS, AND ALL AROUND WASTE OF SPACE...EVERYTIME YOU TURN THIS CAR ON A LITTLE MORE THE POLAR ICE CAPS MELT...
Shut the hell up. Your poor ass probably has never even driven a European car. To top it off Americans get the shitty detuned version of all our cars. When you will finally get in your car to drive and not do your make up or talk on your cellphone, we will introduce you to manual transmission cars, built to accelerate and handle. Until then, we'll allow you to marvel at the mediocre brakes offered by this two tonne car because considering how incompetent you are you're going to need them.
And I also wanna say that I don't believe all American cars are bad and that all American drivers are bad, I just get really annoyed when someone posts things without using their head first. Europeans don't judge all American cars by the Chevy Cavalier, so it'd be fair not to judge all European cars based on the poor record of VW. Most VW are detuned from European Spec and then brought to the US. Don't know why but it's noticeable.
your french.. what did/does your country have to offer to the world? throughout history, your country has proven itself to be the biggest pussies and cowards on earth.. i believe the germans and italians produce some of the greatest cars on the market..
We've never been mindless killers though. And if you think that all we've offered is cowardice then you most likely have the education of a 5 year old.
I find it amusing how you bask in your ignorance :). Please, go around telling people (preferably educated ones) about how the french have offered the world nothing but cowardice. That they can all see your intelligence :).
I said it 20 years ago and I'll say it today: Americans should get out of the car-making business. They are an embarrassment to those of us who understand what quality really is. They stillthink they can build something that is an equal to a German, Italian or Japanese car that costs thousands more... even tens of thousands more. You get what you pay for. Detroit has never learned that lesson and they never will - and neither will the suckers who buy their cars.
we are doing just fine with our car industry so you can keep your foreign bias to yourself. i understand you and everyone else hates us (for a reason i STILL dont understand) but american cars have good and bad points as well as any other car manufacturer out threre
I don't buy cars from companies run by ACCOUNTANTS. I buy my cars from car makers run by ENGINEERS and by companies who run successful racing programs in places where it matters: IN EUROPE AND JAPAN.
Yea thats good for you me personally I like my cadillac and my 475 hp chevy malibu I love my country and thats all that needs to be said sumed up TO EACH HIS OWN, Idiot
I`m not a huge fan of american cars but I have to admit I`d buy a z06 tomorrow.Maybe the interior is not so classy or the seats don`t support you enough...Fuck that!The car is a MONSTER FROM HELL and I love it!
I don't give a fuck about the Murcielago. All italiens cars are way too overpriced and I agree with you with this but of course germans cars are also expensive but they are the best of the best with Nissan & Infiniti.
It's funny how the ancient technology American cars use (leaf springs, huge displacement) still manages to embarass the "advanced" technologies of euroqueerans.
A $45,000 Corvette destroyed the following cars around TopGear's track:
Haha, this video is like a pity party for the nostalgic American "muscle" lovers. Look people, I dont care how much stock you put by money, engeneering will speak for itself. European cars are not "shitpiles." With that kind of language it's no wonder you can't appreciate the subtleties of finer tuned automobiles. Compare hp/litre ratio's and you realize American cars are only fast when the engine is big enough to take wholesale dumping of gasoline into them. Thats not very efficient...
You;re not very good at math... Im talking about how an engine uses it's gasoline. 6.1 litre but only 425 hp...?
The *ahem* 2.8 litre 230 hp is better use of engine space. (528 is a 2.8 litre pal...2793 cc)
Also you seem to be forgetting that all wheel drive cars such as the 528xi consume fuel more than they need to during normal driving conditions. So go figure, a 528i gets even better mileage. PLus wrong figures on the BMW since you overestimate the engine displacement.
i know cars..and this car is not garbage..it may not be a v10..$100k bmw m5..but for those of us who like performance at a reasonable cost..this SRT8 fits the bill.
European cars sold in the US are far below the standard of the same cars made for the european market.And Doug,i`m certain the srt8 would kick a 528i but that`s not the point.A sti or evo would also kill a srt8(i`m 80% sure in a straight line,10000% on a track)and for less money.Bmw 528i is not currently sold in Europe,the equivalent is 530i and it`s much better than a 300c.I like all cars,us and european but the quality standards in Europe are much much higher.
Well forget about german cars for a second... Try TVR say a low range Tamora. Any TVR would destroy any US "Mr Muscle car" and don't even get started on the arial atom.. ha you wouldn't stand a chance.
0-60 = 4.4seconds
0-100 = 9.5seconds
Top Speed = 175mph
All this from a 3.6ltr engine
To be honest its hard to compare prices because everything made in Europe is more expensive then the US.
The Atom is basically a go kart. No shit, you mean a go kart is faster than a real car? By the way, the Atom is powered by a JAPANESE engine, so much for european.
"everything made in Europe is more expensive then the US. "
That's because our money goes farther. european cars are expensive, yet they're still piles of shit.
not going on price (the extra money is because overall the BMW is a far higher standard than that big chunk of plastic) the M5 destroys the SRT8, considering its only got 75bhp more it was about 3 seconds faster in a drag run. Thats a lifetime in racing!
Also if the track had corners no amount of mods to the 300c would make it get round any quicker it would just fly off the track a bit faster.
When are americans going to realise that they just can't make cars!
you forgot to mention that the M5 costs $83,000 witch is $40,000 more than an srt 8 and if you just add $5,000 in mods it will slap the fuck of of an M5. SRT-8: 6.1L V8 425hp has great power unlike an M5 needs a V10 to produce and extra 75 HP.
The SRT8 IS a 300c. 300c is the model and SRT8 is the spec' of the specific model moron. PS I'm a Master Tech for Chrysler I know what I'm talking about, obviously you don't.
300C suck major in quality. My friend owned one and had nothing! but problems. Getting every maintainence done. Luckly it was in warranty. My 01 Audi A4 stops better than that.
EuroSport2006, I think that we would get along quite well >>> 300c are such terrible cars to drive. 345hp has never felt SO boring. I have a Grand Marquis (posted) and it stops at least that fast> in fact every car I have stops at least as fast as they do. I drove 300s many times and I'm sure your Audi no matter the age is a better "bang for the buck"!!!!
Who would take a "nursing home styled" 224HP (yes I said 224HP) 4.6L V8 (google it) over a 5.7L 345HP V8? Yes Im defending the 300C because I own one. You are just trying to sh*t on the popularity/success of this car. I havent had one problem with my car and its at 46K. (I cant believe you compared that "SIT ON THE LOT AT MERCURY DEALERS" Mercury Grand Marquis, to a Chrysler 300C. WTF! Go get a hobby. (your obviously not into cars because you compared AUDI to a Chrysler) Who does that...
EuroSport2006, I think that we would get along quite well >>> 300c are such terrible cars to drive. 345hp has never felt SO boring.

I drove 300s many times and I'm sure your Audi no matter the age is a better "bang for the buck"!!!!
this is an srt8 not a 300c, different engines, 300c has a traction control system you cannot switch off so automatically your riding experience will suck if you want to go really fast, srt8 on the other hand is a 425 hp monster.
lalala "brembo this, mercedes that" merecedes are overly prised, big peices of shit, too much technoly in them, I You cant afford the top end mercs unless your a crack man. plus the depreciation one a merc wouldnt be worth living with.
thos brakes are rubbish mercedes amg still has the best brakes in the business yes better than brembo porsche and merc have the best brakes out there trust me
Well, i think someone didnt read my post 2 times...
I said i like better the WRX, i dont like those american muscle cars... the 300c SRT8 its cool, but its not my taste, its acelerates really fast, but, i dont like "dont" feel the aceleration...
And, i had win of the SRT8, 0~100 km/h... passing the "barrier" of 100km/h the SRT8 catchs up...
well, if u dont beliave me, see my videos... i will try to do someday another video, of the WRX vs 300c SRT8 ;)
wrx r u serious? nothing wrong with em but evan an srt-4 spanks that and runs a 13.8-14.2 srt-8 runs 13.2 i would hope u could feel the differance of a wrx that run like 14.5 thats all i'm saying
The last weekend i drive a Subaru WRX 2006 again, and went for a ride on a SRT8... u feel more the aceleration on the Subaru, ok, its a 4wd, manual gearbox, but it only have 230horsepower, and the SRT8 has 420 ( or more, i dont know =P )... the brakes, are really better on the SRT8... its just amazing how that car brakes !
but im still in love for the WRX =P... enter my profile.. video is there... the video of the SRT8 its a crap... but =P
a guy has this exact same brake setup on his nissan z32, 1000k pounds lighter and only 2 passeneger car, yeah, imagine how well it stops lmao!!

You;re not very good at math... Im talking about how an engine uses it's gasoline. 6.1 litre but only 425 hp...?
The *ahem* 2.8 litre 230 hp is better use of engine space. (528 is a 2.8 litre pal...2793 cc)
Also you seem to be forgetting that all wheel drive cars such as the 528xi consume fuel more than they need to during normal driving conditions. So go figure, a 528i gets even better mileage. PLus wrong figures on the BMW since you overestimate the engine displacement.

European cars sold in the US are far below the standard of the same cars made for the european market.And Doug,i`m certain the srt8 would kick a 528i but that`s not the point.A sti or evo would also kill a srt8(i`m 80% sure in a straight line,10000% on a track)and for less money.Bmw 528i is not currently sold in Europe,the equivalent is 530i and it`s much better than a 300c.I like all cars,us and european but the quality standards in Europe are much much higher.

Well forget about german cars for a second... Try TVR say a low range Tamora. Any TVR would destroy any US "Mr Muscle car" and don't even get started on the arial atom.. ha you wouldn't stand a chance.
0-60 = 4.4seconds
0-100 = 9.5seconds
Top Speed = 175mph
All this from a 3.6ltr engine
To be honest its hard to compare prices because everything made in Europe is more expensive then the US.

"Any TVR would destroy "
Z06 urinates on your TVRs.
"and don't even get started on the arial atom.. "
The Atom is basically a go kart. No shit, you mean a go kart is faster than a real car? By the way, the Atom is powered by a JAPANESE engine, so much for european.
"everything made in Europe is more expensive then the US. "
That's because our money goes farther. european cars are expensive, yet they're still piles of shit.

not going on price (the extra money is because overall the BMW is a far higher standard than that big chunk of plastic) the M5 destroys the SRT8, considering its only got 75bhp more it was about 3 seconds faster in a drag run. Thats a lifetime in racing!
Also if the track had corners no amount of mods to the 300c would make it get round any quicker it would just fly off the track a bit faster.
When are americans going to realise that they just can't make cars!

dougdangger 4 years ago
either way the 300c is a shit car doesn't matter if its the SRT8 or not it still got destroyed by an M5...
I test drove one and its like driving the QE2 with wheels!
daniel3v6 4 years ago
you forgot to mention that the M5 costs $83,000 witch is $40,000 more than an srt 8 and if you just add $5,000 in mods it will slap the fuck of of an M5. SRT-8: 6.1L V8 425hp has great power unlike an M5 needs a V10 to produce and extra 75 HP.

The SRT8 IS a 300c. 300c is the model and SRT8 is the spec' of the specific model moron. PS I'm a Master Tech for Chrysler I know what I'm talking about, obviously you don't.

EuroSport2006, I think that we would get along quite well >>> 300c are such terrible cars to drive. 345hp has never felt SO boring. I have a Grand Marquis (posted) and it stops at least that fast> in fact every car I have stops at least as fast as they do. I drove 300s many times and I'm sure your Audi no matter the age is a better "bang for the buck"!!!!

Who would take a "nursing home styled" 224HP (yes I said 224HP) 4.6L V8 (google it) over a 5.7L 345HP V8? Yes Im defending the 300C because I own one. You are just trying to sh*t on the popularity/success of this car. I havent had one problem with my car and its at 46K. (I cant believe you compared that "SIT ON THE LOT AT MERCURY DEALERS" Mercury Grand Marquis, to a Chrysler 300C. WTF! Go get a hobby. (your obviously not into cars because you compared AUDI to a Chrysler) Who does that...

this is an srt8 not a 300c, different engines, 300c has a traction control system you cannot switch off so automatically your riding experience will suck if you want to go really fast, srt8 on the other hand is a 425 hp monster.

Well, i think someone didnt read my post 2 times...
I said i like better the WRX, i dont like those american muscle cars... the 300c SRT8 its cool, but its not my taste, its acelerates really fast, but, i dont like "dont" feel the aceleration...
And, i had win of the SRT8, 0~100 km/h... passing the "barrier" of 100km/h the SRT8 catchs up...
well, if u dont beliave me, see my videos... i will try to do someday another video, of the WRX vs 300c SRT8 ;)

The last weekend i drive a Subaru WRX 2006 again, and went for a ride on a SRT8... u feel more the aceleration on the Subaru, ok, its a 4wd, manual gearbox, but it only have 230horsepower, and the SRT8 has 420 ( or more, i dont know =P )... the brakes, are really better on the SRT8... its just amazing how that car brakes !
but im still in love for the WRX =P... enter my profile.. video is there... the video of the SRT8 its a crap... but =P

wrx is a smaller car and smaller cars usually "feel" faster. You got to remember the SRT is a huge car...that's a lot of weight in motion :)
