Are you mad? Try 6.3 seconds. They're quick - they're not that quick.
The Car and Driver review got it to 60 in 5.3 seconds...it has a "manumatic" shift mode, which is the only way it will go that fast, but even in full-auto it's enough to nail your ass to the seat back.
We were looking at the Jaguar S-Type and the Mercedes E320, which are both like $20,000 more and have
way less power. My mom likes big cars; she's owned a Grand Marquis, a Monte Carlo and an Oldsmobile Delta 88 in the past, (gotta love those 70s and 80s American cars!!) and the coolest thing about this car is how fast it moves for its size.
I was fooling around with it the other day in the rain and managed to get the rear end to cut loose even with the traction control switched on. My mom hasn't driven an RR in about 15 years, so I hope she learns how it handles pretty quick. Canadian winter is almost upon us here, and if she dings up "the Hemi," as my dad refers to the car, I'm going to go Menendez on them...that car is gonna be mine when they get too old!!
The car looks beefier than it is, thanks to the high window-line. It is a little hard to back up, but it's got a reverse-assist sensor to tell you how close you are to something behind you. The C-pillar blind-spots are killer, but I've never driven anything like this, and I've been in my fair share of BMWs and Mercedes. Neither of those manufacturers come close to offering this much power in this price range. Granted, it's only got a Chrysler badge on it, which doesn't scream luxury, but when I drive by guys in this tank, heads turn. Maybe it's the intoxicating yet distinguished rumble of the Hemi reverberating out of the dual exhaust pipes...
. It's going to take a LOT for my bro and me to convince him to go for a g35 in febuary when the first year of production models all come off their leases and pile up on the showroom floors.
👍 (Especially for getting the 300C
I've seen way too many V-6s around here, which makes me sad.)
