CD mentioned in the first post of this thread that he can't be arsed to learn stick... or something to that effect. I just asked why.
 
It's mine!! We bought the 300M Special :D We got to the dealership around 130PM and waited for the salesman to drive it from their lot across town. We took a short test drive, made sure all the interior electronics worked, and I was convinced. We went back to the dealership and signed the paperwork while the car went in for detailing. We were out of the dealership and on the way home by 430PM.

The only thing left to do is name her and take some pictures.

:D

Granted, you very nearly could say that these were screwed together better than the LX cars, but meh.

You give the cloud cars far too little credit. Chrysler was easily the best of the Big Three when it came to building cars in the mid-to-late 90s (probably because they had only a single SUV), and the 300M followed that pattern as well.
 
Ah, it's the limited-edition "Special." I believe that one had like, five more HP and sport suspension. Nice grab.
 
Now take care of that badboy and don't under any circumstances race it or do any performance mods. Just enjoy driving pseudo luxury car (luxury for America anyway). Congrats, its a very nice car.
 
Thanks. The only thing I plan to modify the car with is a FIPK and a powered subwoofer for a little more bass.

Don't name it. Do get a good, clean, subtle air intake because that big engine wants to suck a lot of air and sounds good when it does. Also, do get a good sub and interior speakers, but you will of course because you're somewhat of an audiophile.

Also, get good tires damn it. It's florida. You only have three seasons, and the fourth shows up once in a blue moon. The car would be much funner and safer with high-performance all season tires, and even better with some basic summer tires. I have personal experience with the SPT and they grip very well in the dry and waaaay better than all seasons in the wet. They're worth every penny and more. Also, to make it look cool and make it feel more stable, these. They're awesome cheap and make a huge difference, and the ride will feel more like a new, high quality sports sedan instead of a Chrylser boat-wannabe-sports sedan.

Already on the list.

I will only need a sub. There's already 11 Infinity speakers in the cabin.

It's got brand new tires on it. They look to be pretty sporty. I'll take a pic along with the rest of the car tomorrow since it's all rainy right now.

It already has 4 wheel independent suspension and has almost zero body roll. If anything, I'm gonna bag it. That's not likely though. It's already pretty low as it is.
 
Thats a pretty sick first car. Its got good performance and descent gas mileage..,
Its actually the perfect all-around car in my opinion.

:cheers:
 
Picture time! The car is a little dirty since I took delivery. It rained last night and my current living quarters has no drive way so theres rain spots and tiny bits of dirt along the bottom. Expect a proper photo shoot once I get it washed and waxed.

It should have came with summer tires on it if it's the Special Edition. They had Michelin Pilot Sports on them. For a car like that you really don't need anything more aggressive then those.
 
Wow...long, low, sleek and sexy. Been a long time since I could say that about a Chrysler.

good one! take care of her: she's a keeper. ;)
 
BFG makes decent tires so you really don't have to worry about that, and you live in Florida, you don't really get adverse weather conditions all that much aside from heavy rains.

===

Anyways that interior looks awesome to, kinda makes me wonder what they hell happened to Chrysler.
 
Looks very clean, and comfortable too. I know someone with a similar Chrysler and it was so comfortable I just wanted to stay in there and sleep.

Long? Yes. Low? Yes. Sleek? Yes. Sexy? Damn straight.

I think the front end looks a little like a chicken though.

Yeah, the tires are pretty aggressive looking.

Oh yeah, this is literally the most comfortable interior I've ever sat in. I love it. 👍
 
So, who'd win in a race? Your 300M or his Barracuda? That's a sexy car CDailey. A real high point for Chrysler.

That's a good question. My 273 only makes an estimated 180 hp with the two barrel carburetor, but that number is probably (hopefully) underrated. If anything, I'd definately beat him off the line :p
 
I've got traction control :dopey: I have no idea what my car makes at the wheels, but the engine is rated for 255hp and 260 ft lbs.
 
Looks like we'll just have to settle this on the 1/4 mile.

Actually, that could even be a future possibility. Where do you live in Florida, I live in Eustis in central Florida.

Heck, come october I could come in and join in on that with Mustang GT I hope to have:idea:

I'm by Tampa, 20 or so miles south

Diabo and CD, what kinda MPGs are your cars getting?

About 20 miles south of Jacksonville in a small town called Green Cove Springs.

Look's like the best place to meet up would be Gainesville raceway :D

Sounds like a plan, and I think that's the closest dragway to where I live anyway. I'll make sure to buy a four barrel and some nice fat rear tires by then :D
 
That sounds about right, our Interpid got about that when we had it and it's a similar car, isn't it?

Probably a different engine. What model Intrepid did you have?

To be honest, 24-25mpg is high. You won't get that return in "mixed" driving.

I think it was a 98 ES with the 3.2L V6 in it, it died though pretty prematurely through. Something about the oil system or something fried the engine...we never did like that car.
