This week is when a lot of stuff gets showcased at Pebble Beach. A couple notables:

425HP Chrysler 300C for 2005 - http://www.autoweek.com/article.cms?articleId=100555 (http://www.autoweek.com/article.cms?articleId=100555)

Ford unveils Shelby GR-1 (supposed to follow the Ford GT when production of it ends in 2006.) http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=100607 (http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=100607)

I would buy the Chrysler and love it.. imagine having L performance in a big sedan like that.. the real question is... HOW much for that puppy?

The GR-1 looks like the Mercury Messenger concept from a couple of years ago... and I say buil it, but ONLY after building the Cobra.

I agree. Very cool car. Since the current 345hp 300C is in the high-30s, I'd figure the SRT-8 will be high-40s, approaching $50k.

Well I may not love it THAT much... will wait and see..you know, until one comes off of a lease.. get it for half price then...
But it would be sweet to cruise in that thing..I have already been talking to the wife about a 300C as it is now..

I still think Ford should bring us that 400+ hp Falcon GTP they have over in Austrailia.

300C Base starts at 32k and change. Options can take it through 38k.

I'd expect about a 43-45k sticker on a 300C SRT8. To be honest it looks like a decent stablemate for the Marauder...and I've never owned a chrysler before. Shame on you Ford, shame on you for not keeping my damn interest.

RonC a former Lightning owner and infrequent poster here has a 300c - He has blinged the **** out of it....

Maybe David N has apicture of it - I should have taken a picture at the show the other day...

I bleed Ford/Linc/Merc blue but that car and that Magnum is bad as he?? if done right (bling-bling) wise. They seem to look better with 20" or 22's". There was an article on the net a couple days ago about the 300C SRT ...425HP...whoa!! smoking....!!! Mercedes has done their job on transforming Dodge/Chrysler to contenders in the "dayumn!! thats bad" market.

Hate to say it, but I'm seriously considering slappin' an order in for an SRT8 300C...

I would be one of the first to get one if they sold those in the USA. :tu:
