To anyone who ventures into this yet unvisted world of the 300M.
I took one out for a test drive today and was impressed. It doesnt come close to the VR4 for speed but it was a good ride. I'm seriously considering buying one of these in short order. I would like to get some performance numbers though. I'd guess in the 7s 0-60 and the quarter in the upper 15 low 16s. However, I see the possibility to put a supercharger in there to give it more punch. Thanks.

I think it zero to sixty's in the 7.8 to 8.0 second range. I know what you mean, it really is an outstanding car. One of the best to come from a Chrysler production line in a long, long time. And it was among the most comfortable and handsome interiors I sat in at the Auto Show, even more comfortable than cars like the Acura 3.2 TL and Mazda Millenia.
Supercharged, the 300M would be a beast! You could probably bump crank output to 295 or 300 horsepower with a measly 4 psi of boost from roots blower. And I'll be very interested to see what Chrysler does with the yet to be released rear-wheel-drive 300N.

I'd have to agree with you - its one of the most comfortable sadans I've been in for quite some time and that includes a lot of BMWs and Benzes. The more I think about it, the more I want the car. I'm going to have my fiance take it out for a spin as well. After that, it'll come down to getting a fair price for it.
I've seen what a turbo charged lexus is capable of and I forsee the 300M tearing up the street the same way.

300M
Hi! I've had my 300M for almost 4 years now and it is an outstanding car! I've been trying to get a 0-60 time for it with no luck. Punch it getting on a freeway, and zooooom! My gas mileage for combined 40,000 miles is very near 23 mpg - pretty good, I'd say. One thing I would like to point out are the disadvantages (in my opinion and others) of the sports suspension. It was a super cheap add-on but I went with the regular package after experiencing rough ride and brake noise. Definately test drive both - over railroad tracks or rough road and notice the difference. Cheers!

Yeah the 300M's are a real nice lookin car, bet they drive real nice too. Cant say ive been in one yet. If you wanna talk about tearin' up the streets look into the concept 300C...
1 Word.. Hemi
