Anyone have that build code for the Kicker yet? I also found that the Touring Package to get the back up sensors is N/A on the build site....so I have e-mailed Chrysler to help me before my car goes to build....I find myself wanting my car to be delayed until I can get those 2 build options!!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one stuck between Steel and Black. It almost seems like this car in black would fit in nicely with all the Towncar limos idling off Wall St here, and -er- I'm not for hire. :P
A humble request: Have any of you Steelers received a car yet and taken/thinking about taking photos? I've been browsing everywhere, but the professional shots aren't helping in the color department. It wasn't even at the Chrysler Inspired Drive this past weekend. *headdesk*
Feature-wise, my car's looking fully loaded +kicker -tvs, and I couldn't be more thrilled.*big cheesy grin* Oh, the horsepower.
If you were talking to me, I believe the Kicker build code is RC5.
Second, I agree with the lighter silver showing the lines of the car better. But I opted for the in-between shade of Silver Steel which appears to be a bluish silver.
Still no car so can't say for sure.....
I bet we all will post pictures when we can!
So I went to the local caddy dealer just now.
You can buy the CTS-V at the Gm employee price - about $1,500 UNDER invoice.
ha-ha
Will drive this puppy until the Chrysler dealers get real.
A mustang GT is closer to a regular 300C...
An 05 GTO is pretty close to a 300C SRT-8, at least.
And the SRT-8 is like twice the car the mustang is...no comparison.
CTS-V is also a nice ride, but is a step smaller than the 300.
Apples and oranges or more to the point bourbon and beer.
I saw a black 300C SRT8 at a weekend Mopar event. This monster is even more beautiful in person. Black is the only way to go. The owner was a Chrysler employee, who had the pleasure of walking his car down the line. He had the Kicker option (a special deal from the kicker rep just for him, he said only one built to date) and loves it. He said, the SRT guys strongly suggested the mopar cold air option. They said that the actual HP at crank is closer to 450 + and that the cold air will add another 10-15 HP. These appear to already be on back order as well. The other good news is that they are working on a higher performance throttle body, still in R&D.
Oh ya the bad news, according to this guy, who works at the plant, they are lucky to get 10 cars built per week and are already 8mths behind schedule.
With the Charger and Magnums coming on to the line, they expect this to only get worse.
Take a seat, its going to be a long wait!
Each step of this lengthy process has been what the dealer originally told me when I signed my contract. I'm told that over 30 SRT8's are being made every day for every shift at the Brampton Ontario plant and that if your dealer really has an allotment for this car it is being produced. I hope this information will put a smile on your faces. Retired and ready to race!!!!!!!!!! .
I saw a new Charger today....nice. I am almost an SRT8 Charger with Daytona package kind of guy myself. But since they aren't making a Daytona SRT8....
The 300C is gonna be a nice sleeper though...maybe a cop will believe me that I wasn't speeding in a 300C!!!!
GM has announced a revamped SS plan. 303HP front drive cars.....LOL...I've raced 3 Camaros and 2 vettes in both SCCA autocross and 1/4 mile drags in Epping, NH. GM has awesome LS engines...but all the wrong cars for them.....Well the CTS-V is a nice car and the vette...but I have kids....need a back seat. Out here...the closest Caddy dealership is an hour away and my Dodge Boys are 3 miles away!
Anyone who buys a CTS-V, a new Mustang, AMG, etc....instead of waiting for an SRT8 will be happy too. There are a few just plain old awesome cars out right now. Take a GT500 Mustang convertible over a 300C SRT8??? Maybe....I hope to race one of those....How about a GTO against it? All these "pickup" races will be a blast and all the cars have their own unique aspects....I love all of them.....But now where is my darn SRT8!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am dying for it!!!
I just purchased an '06 300c srt-8 and read about you adding the cold air intake and making exhaust mods. Where are these modifications available through?
Thanks!
While rechecking all the build options for my car today since today is the day we can add Kickers and Touring packages to the build sheets...supposedly....
I noticed the car is 50 state ULEV certified. So I would say you can "import" the car from anywhere and avoid the CA novelty surcharge!
My car is stickered at $46,336 now. A CTS-V with lesser brakes, wheels, sound, and a few other short comings...with GM employee price is $47,800. So even though the LS6 is a sweet motor and GM has a good handling package....I am waiting out my SRT8 to be built.
Before anyone goes and buys 500HP upgrades....be sure they are proven upgrades. I know on my 5.7L Hemi Ram some early exhausts detuned the motors. I run a chip programmer, throttle body spacer, cold air induction, exhaust, etcc on the Ram now...for about 400HP. But I get 11MPH! The new 2006 Rams will have EMS and get 15+ city!
Hemi's are awesome but be respectful to the GM guys even if they are near bankruptcy!!! LS2, LS6, & Supercharged STS's are here to stay too.....
So Let's go chase em down and make it fun!!!
How about some bald tires next year???
I'd say it will be real tough to get what you are looking for....
Anyone on this forum actually have a car yet???
Chyrsler will not respond other than to tell me to see my dealer.
Even a Ford 500 has the back-up sensors...Low blow...but I am even loosing my patience...
I wish a DC rep was on this forum with some real answers.....
My wife is turning me down for sex until I get this car....
Have fun with your car.
I know where there are 2 silver ones...but I want the one I have on order.....
Chrysler is going to release an AWD version of the SRT-8, which is neat, but I think it'll just make the car heavier and less fun overall, even if it means true 4-season drivability.
