    Found the only problem i could find with the 300C

    Speed regulators SUCK!!!
    it was accelerating great till then. toped out @128 but there was a strong head wind.

    Hell, what is the need of a 160MPH Speedo for the 300C Hemi if it is going to sputter out at 128? They could have saved money and just stuck the 140mph unit FROM the V6 cars in it.

    Great Pic!

    I was thinking the same thing. What's the point of the speedo?

    EEK!!

    160 Seems pointless if it only goes 126.

    you might try to go to your dealer and have the limiter removed. If that doesn't work, try an aftermarket performance tuner. You must remeber that your tires that your 300c is riding on are not rated for 160mph; be careful.

    Devil's advocate here. Why isn't the background of the picture a blur?

    The right kind of film/shutter speed or settings on your digital camera can do away with blur.

    jwc, if that pic is you (police officer), I'd remove it quick!

    Some Do-Gooder, Goody-Two-Shoe, Law-Abiding Fanantic type will mail this to your State Governor or something asking for an internal investigation about you breaking the law.

    Yep, it didn't seem prudent. Doing 126 on a two-lane with an oncoming car? I think our PA Staties would tear mine up and send both the car and me both straight to the impound.

    Just some citizenly advice.

    (Still a cool pic.)
