My Dirty little car secret affair.

HULK EF · 13-04-2011, 10:18 AM

Ive kept this a secret for a very long time.. Have admired them since the day they were designed and released.. Love the high door line and the low flat roof line.. That evokes memories of chooed hot rods.. love the big wheel arches and the fact 22's-24's are a cinch..
I love the chrome.. the unashamedly bold design and the fact they stand out from the competition..

YES the 300C

Here are a collection of my fave photo's..

What do others like OTHER than the blue oval badge?

I would choose a 300C over most luxary makes and models..

So Whats your DIRTY LITTLE SECRET?

so there used to be a 300c section here somewhere yonks ago

Ben73 · 13-04-2011, 10:27 AM

I like them too. I'll get a black v8 one as my next car. 20 inch rims are good enough for me.
Very cool car

**Elks** · 13-04-2011, 11:11 AM

Who cares? They are heavy and look at the shape of them, if someone buys one because they want to go fast they aren't too smart. It's all about looks, one tuff looking cruizer.

I dont mind 300Cs but every single one you posted looks aweful

Iggypoppin' · 13-04-2011, 11:43 AM

Ditch the blinga bling rapper wheels and they look great. Dinner plate chromies scream loser and besides, they look great with the stock wheels. I'd take one in black any day of the week.

bigsta · 13-04-2011, 11:44 AM

I love em but they are built really poorly and parts prices on par with euro brands, nice hemi does make up for alot of it though

When Mercedes Benz owned Chrysler they where built much better. That's one of the ones I'd aim to get.

ynot57 · 13-04-2011, 11:51 AM

ok i admit i like em too.must be black.

True. Well the last one looks alright but the wheels are too big.

20inch SRT8 wheels look great on them.
With a Bentley styled grill

i think you should look again about the heavy part

Ben73 · 13-04-2011, 12:10 PM

They weigh about 2 tons and get to 100 in just over 5 seconds. Pretty quick. Just don't expect them to handle corners perfectly.

rocketscientist · 13-04-2011, 12:11 PM

Love the look of the 300 in profile, shame about the front and rear end.

Always made it a none starter for me.

RAPID_BA · 13-04-2011, 12:15 PM

hulk_ef as a fellow hulk we are in agreement.

The chrysler 300c shits all over the statesman and ford had to pack up making the fairlane because of it.

My only critique of the 300c is its not exclusive enough, even a bum can buy one.

The wedding industry love em, why spend $180k when for $64990 you can get a car people want for weddings, charge em the same too

Powdered Toast Man · 13-04-2011, 12:19 PM

Yep I want me an SRT-8 Touring! Which is fine since I'll be driving it and not sitting in the back as my head touches the roof the roofline is so low.

But I'm not buying one cause I dont have 50G+ to burn and then paying for the fuel for the 6.1L powerhouse.

Source? Article? Linky? I am interested in this because your second point rings very true:

very cool looking car - but I prefer them in a wagon to a sedan...just something about them...

The dirty little secret for me...SLR5000 Toranas (unadulterated), just about any LJ, and the VL turbos...The earlier Holden's...very nice machines...

Sorry, would you call a car with a curb weight of 1820kg light?

vibe_xr6 · 13-04-2011, 01:16 PM

i was comparing the 2 together- 1782kg curb weight, ba is 1700kg, but they are mad cars, heaps getting around

Zero_PSI · 13-04-2011, 01:19 PM

300c's are like the affordable rolls or bentley's. I love em too.

**Polyal** · 13-04-2011, 01:19 PM

Often thought a semi blinged diesel one would make a great daily...Hemi would be nice but the fuel bill would be horrendous.

**Polyal** · 13-04-2011, 01:20 PM

Funny thing that though, blue and red blood runs strong but both camps seem happy to agree on Mopars..LOL

redman · 13-04-2011, 01:25 PM

If you want a laugh, I suggest you do a google image search on "datsun 300 c" to cop an optic on the 'original'.
