Does anyone have one?

Im trying to sell my maggie to get one

I love the look but many have said to just get the SRT8. I drive my car for work a lot so Im think the Design is a good alternative to save a little gas.

The SRT design is similar to the Road and Track package on the Chargers. It comes with upgraded seats, exhaust, an extra 10hp over the regular 300c. It has the SRT design badge. Maybe its only in Canada?

From what im told it is basically like a Daytona Charger without the numbering of course.

Its probably like the magnum rt with the R/T package, extra power/better seats/suspension etc...

I've seen pics on other forums. From what I understand, Chrysler is no longer calling them "SRT Design" for 2008. They came up with a different name (due to SRT owners complaining?) Who knows?

Anyway, think carefully on what you want, and what you can afford. As an SRT owner myself, I love it and am biased. If the car looked exactly the same way it does now, but didn't have the "beast" under the hood, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun to drive! I literally have not had this much fun driving since I started driving fire trucks at age 23 going down the wrong side of the street with lights and siren blaring! I was between the C and the SRT and my wife told me to make sure to get the SRT because she knew that I would regret not getting it that day...

On the other hand, it won't do you much good to have a 6.1 that you drive as little as possible due to the premium gas usage...Either way, good luck with your search and purchase!

Yeah that srt design logo from 20 ft away says SRT, its a impostor, I saw one the other day, seats, exhaust, and 10 hp, Hmmm not digging it, But then again I hate what theve done to the 08 C period. It looks euro to me now.

They do have them in 2008 model.

As for the above remarks I disagree 100%.

I use my car as a work vehicle. The 6.1 will eat much more gas and will cost me 10,000 more here in Canada. That equals a lot more overall to me. I like the SRT Design as its a step up from every other C out there.

The difference between my 5.7 I had and the SRT for MPG was not even noticealbe..I mean cruise set at 80 I got 23 With the 5.7. I get 22.5 with the 6.1
Well worth the difference in my view.

I have a 2007 SRT Design and love it. I bought it instead of the SRT8 for the same reasons you're considering it. I like to say that it's the best 300C package you can get, rather than comparing it to the SRT8.

I don't know if the gas mileage is actually that big of a difference (maybe 2mpg), but premium gas and more expensive maintenance in general does increase the ongoing cost of the SRT8.

Sounds to me like you have already made up your mind. Be careful asking for opinions, we all feel strongly that we each made a great decision in purchasing our cars!

To each his own, BTW my SRT8 has averaged 17.5 mpg over 22000 miles including road course, autocross, and drag strip runs!

Far from an imposter or a poser most of the folks also say.

Its a nice ride. Its a step above the usual everyday C that everyone has and its not a the race car the SRT8 is. But its has a set of classy features all on its own.

I agree fully. We had the keys for the SRT8 sitting on the desk in fianance till the dude said the only warranty was 3 or 36k. Thats all I could have got. Plus, I would have had to pay gas gusler tax. Again, piss on that.

The SRT Design I got with full warranty for LIFE. Thats not just for the motor tranny and axels but covers eveything. If the seat stops moving it gets fixed even after 120k miles. Lovin it. So are the gear heads in my car club.
