Ride and Handling:
The 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 is conditioned for outstanding ride and
handling across the dynamic range that customers are likely to
experience.
Chassis setup for the 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 is aimed at all-around
performance with a number of enhancements, including tuned dampers,
specially tailored spring rates and suspension bushings and larger
diameter anti-sway bars. New front and rear suspension knuckles
contribute to a ride height lowered one-half inch from the Chrysler
300C. In addition, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) has been
specially tuned for the Chrysler 300C SRT8's performance handling
characteristics.
The 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 connects with the road via a new wheel
and tire assembly consisting of 20-inch forged aluminum wheels shod
with high-performance Goodyear F1 three-season tires (four-season
tires are an available option) with asymmetrical tread. Tire
dimensions are a beefy 245/45/20 in the front and 255/45/20 in the
rear.
Braking:
Braking performance goes hand-in-hand with the 2006 Chrysler 300C
SRT8's outstanding acceleration and speed-and the braking system was
specially designed to slow and stop the car predictably. At the same
time, this system was designed to provide benchmark braking
performance, setting a new standard for sedans in its class.
All four wheels feature stout performance calipers developed by
Brembo-well-known in racing and high-performance circles-equipped
with four pistons for even clamping performance. Up front, the
Chrysler 300C SRT8 has 360 x 32 mm vented rotors, with 350 x 28 mm
vented rotors in the rear.
This braking system contributes to a 60-0 mph performance in
approximately 110 feet, and a 0-100-0 mph time in the mid-16-second
range. |
