Chrysler Adds
Even More Horsepower to HEMI® with New Chrysler 300C SRT-8 : With 85 more
horses under the hood, the momentum continues for the Chrysler 300
and its legendary HEMI® engine. The Chrysler Group revealed the
425-horsepower 2005 Chrysler 300C SRT-8, which arrives in Chrysler
showrooms in the spring of 2005. Preliminary performance targets for
the 300C SRT-8 are 0-60 mph in the low 5-second range and
quarter-mile time in the high13-second range.
The 425-horsepower,
normally aspirated 6.1 - liter HEMI is the highest specific-output
engine ever offered by the Chrysler Group. Its 69.8
horsepower-per-liter rating exceeds even that of the legendary 1966
"Street HEMI." Torque is rated at 420 lb.-ft. Chassis
setup for the Chrysler 300C SRT-8 is aimed at all-around performance
with a number of enhancements, including tuned dampers, specially
tailored spring rates and suspension bushings and larger-diameter
anti-sway bars. New front and rear suspension knuckles contribute to
a ride height lowered one-half inch from the Chrysler 300C.
The Chrysler 300C SRT-8 connects with the road via 20-inch forged aluminum wheels with
high-performance Goodyear F1 three-season tires (four-season tires
are an available option) with asymmetrical tread. Tire dimensions
are a beefy 245/45/20 in the front, and 255/45/20 in the rear.
All four wheels feature stout performance calipers developed by Brembo - well-known in racing and high-performance circles -
equipped with four pistons for even comparing performance. Up front,
the Chrysler 300C SRT-8 has 360 x 32mm vented rotors, with 350 x
26mm vented rotors in the rear. Two exterior colors are available:
Bright Silver and Brilliant Black.
SRT ( Street and
Racing Technology ) has developed six vehicles, each of which is the
performance leader in its class - the Dodge Viper SRT-10, Dodge
SRT-4, Dodge Ram SRT-10, Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab and Chrysler
Crossfire SRT-6 Coupe and Roadster.
