damn I love those year 300 srt8s! a guy had one where i worked at when i was getting started in mechanics and he loved to let me hear it (he had opened up exhaust and a superchips or diablo predator can tune)
I think thats where my love for dodges started haha. not long after he sold me his old 93 Dakota 318 and i beat that up for a few years before getting my 06 ram hemi
all that to say if i won the lottery i would definitely go find an 06 300 srt8 and daily it in the summer
get one of those nice mesh grills instead of those bars
I miss mine greatly!
I had the fortunate opportunity to meet Ralph Gilles (look him up
) and have him autograph my 300SRT8, too.
My friend was the Canadian SRT Factory driver and is best friends with Ralph.
I recall a summer when Ralph and his wife drove to Claremont, Ontario (I lived in my friends log cabin loft at the time) and all I hear is a loud rumble from my living room.
Up the winding driveway pulls in an arctic white custom Viper, and out pops Ralph and his wife coming to visit my buddy.
I'll post pics of his car, and my 300SRT8 as well.
Mine was the first run edition SRT 300 with the 4-piece front clip and the 3-piece rear clip.
Ralph loved my car and took it for a boot....
He said after the first run he had to redesign the front and rear clips to be a one-piece molded because the costs were too great for the multi-piece, and because the SRT 300 was really taking off, he had no choice but to do it. Ralph is the reason we have the modern HEMI LX/LC platforms... they were his designs
