"Chrysler Prices 300C SRT-8 From $39,995 The fastest four-door from the Chrysler Group will cost $39,995 when it goes on sale in the spring, the company announced this week. The 300C SRT-8 will be powered by the new 425-hp, 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 announced late last year by the American division of DaimlerChrysler. Chrysler is promising some hot performance from the bahn-burning four door: a 0-60 mph run in the low 5-second range is in the offing, as is a quarter-mile time of less than 14 seconds. Upgrades for the performance edition of the sedan include bigger anti-roll bars, revised springs and shocks, Brembo four-piston brakes at all four wheels, and and 20-inch forged aluminum wheels shod with Goodyear F1 tires. Leather trim, a six-CD changer, and steering wheel controls are also included in the base price. "
And a gas guzzler tax. I'm not very impressed with its acceleration, I think a G35 6 Speed could outrun it.

Five seconds to 60 stock? I think not.

RT, MT, and CD haven't tested the 300 hp G35 6 speed yet. So no proof, but you can guess, considering a 287 hp Z will do the 1/4 in 13.8 or so.

It's still ugly. It's an impressive offering, but if I had in that range of money, I wouldn't buy one. I'd get an S4 (I know, smaller and more expensive, but I like it).
