2005 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT 8 Information

About Chrysler

American Car Importer - American Car Forum and Buyers Guide

In 2003, when the concept Chrysler SRT-8 was first shown to the public, it was introduced as having "over 400 horsepower." On August 13, 2004, the actual SRT-8 debuted with 425 horsepower, coming from a 6.1 litre Hemi power plant.

SRT-8 is based on the standard SRT name given, confusingly enough, to vehicles modified by the PVO Group - that's Performance Vehicle Operations. SRT originally stood for "Street and Racing Technology" but now stands for "Strip, Road, and Track" - similar to the old R/T designation which seems to have been abandoned.

The SRT-8 adds a full 85 horsepower to the already-quick Chrysler 300C, with nearly another half-litre of displacement in the performance-geared engine.
