Chrysler Adds Even More Horsepower to HEMI(R) With New 2005 Chrysler 300C SRT8

Anaheim, Calif. - October 27, 2004 - The all-new 2005 Chrysler 300C SRT8 'drives in' at a popular California fast food restaurant to kick off the California International Auto Show today.

Powered by an all-new 6.1-liter Hemi(R) V8 engine that delivers 425 horsepower, the 2005 Chrysler 300C SRT8 builds momentum for Hemi and the Chrysler 300C and is the latest addition to the Chrysler group's Street and Racing Technology (SRT) performance vehicle lineup.

Preliminary performance targets for the all-new 2005 Chrysler 300C SRT8 are 0-60 mph in the low five-second range and a quarter mile time in the high 13-second range. SRT has developed seven vehicles, each of which is the performance leader in its class. The vehicles include the Dodge Viper SRT10, Dodge SRT4, Dodge Ram SRT10, Dodge Ram SRT10 Quad Cab and Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Coupe and Roadster, and now the all-new Chrysler 300C SRT8.
