LX Detail Questions

[Red Baron]

Hello Everyone! Thank you for many years of LH quality. My first 300M saved my life when I was t-boned and my second gives me joy every Saturday at the track.

Question 1: Is the LX Speed/Density or Mass Air Flow (Specifically the 5.7L)

Question 2: The rear differential in the LX ranges FROM a 3.90:1 ratio with the 2.7 liter to a 2.82:1 with the Hemi. Are they all the same model? Is it an independent rear suspension? Just different ring and pinion? Interchangability question here? I see a 3.90:1 behind my Hemi.

Question 3: Is it at all possible to get a European 300C with 155mph speed controller and Pirelli tires in the USA? (Think outside the box because I know the base answer is No)

Question 4: Is it possible to special ORDER the 300C with the Touring wheels?

Question 5: Is there any confirmation OR timetable about a SRT-8 PVO version coming to market in the next 36 months?

Question 6: Does the MDS system use the same 4 cylinders every time it engages or does it rotate between cylinders. If the former WHICH four does it use? What is the firing order?

Question 7: In the Dodge Magnum Specs under the Hemi this footnote appears
"(Footnotes)1 Meets Federal Tier 2, Bin 8 emissions requirements; marketed in California as an ULEV1 (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle) under cleanest vehicle rules." That footnote does not appear in the Chrysler 300C specs. Why?

Thank you for your time!

I too am dissappointed at the H-Rated Tires and the 126 MPH speed limiter. I bet/hope a Sport Package option is coming with a sport suspension and Z-rated tires is coming soon.

Also upset that the Euro cars both the 300C and 300C Touring (wagon) get 3 full head rest in the rear. Euro law requires a head restraint for every passenger.

Include some aggressive transmission software for that sports package. I think tires will solve most of the problems.

I wonder if there are plastic plugs in the seats on the US spec 300's. I doubt they made completely different seats for the Euro market. If so, we might be able to buy that headrest and retrofit it.

The rear headrest on the US 300C and Magnum appear to be 'fixed'. If the rear head restraints are fixed it would require the entire left side fold-down section. The 60% part of the 60/40% fold-down rear seat. Here is a pic Euro 300C Touring cargo area:

I can only answer one of those questions...

The MDS system shuts down the same four cylinders each time. They are cylinders 1, 4, 6, and 7. I don't know the firing order, however.
