Handling is suspect though it's not all about horsepower. Going downhill on curves this car will lose control and fly off the road or crash into the hills.
Maurice Gamble for real what happened? Well the charger didn't get it either. I'm thinking of getting 2014 300 SRT8 and putting the 8 speed myself. So SRT8speed.
I've owned a 2013 and now a late model SRT. There's nothing wrong with the 5 speed, it did the job just fine. As for the steering, the later electric assisted steering is awesome. Don't make the mistake of thinking this car is a muscle car, it isn't, it's a really nice cruiser with a V8.
VERY RARE CAR!! If Chrysler would have used the 8-speed starting in 2012 300 SRT8 they would have sold a bunch more of these cars. 500hp and an 8-speed would be a fantastic highway cruiser.
I have a Ripp supercharged 3.6 2016 Chrysler 300S and a 2014 SRT 392 Charger. The V6 300 is faster and handles better due to electric power steering and the 8 speed. This guy is wrong on the steering! I like the 300S so much better that I am gonna buy a 5.7 hemi version and yank the engine and replace it with a Joey Arrington 415 incher with a Pro Charger and all forged components.
I MUCH prefer the 5 speed. With an engine with so much torque and such a wide powerband more gears are superfluous and only lead to too much shifting. When I wanna go fast I simply tap a paddle. Why would I want to make 3 more shifts, with every speed change. It just wastes time and upsets the car.
adrenaline omg I’m in Detroit too. I’d pay you to let me drive that damn car lmaoooooo. I love my 200v6 very much but I’m drying to drive one of these too
His bitching about the transmission makes zero f'n sense that's what those paddles are for. And these cars barely understeer, as the ESP will trail brake for you, that's a driver issue.
Nice review, wish it was a little more longer and you could include stuff like MPG, little more about the interior and exterior and so on. Still I do enjoy your reviews
bro its covered under warranty. dealership will replace for free. i have a '12 SRT8 300 and i had the same problem on the carbon fiber accents and they took care of it for me. same shit even the shifter bezel carbon fiber was peeling off and i bought a new one for like $400 then got a letter in the mail for the recall and they reimbursed me the $400 i spent on the part and also took care of any kind of lamination issues
1 out of 16 of those ever made in Deep Cherry Red

Wow! I thought the 300 for 2014 got the 8spd trans

It’s works fine with 5 speed. This car it’s a beast. It swallows the gas too when you floor it.
I'm very glad it didn't.
I didn’t know they made an srt model in 2014 is this acurate🤔

Wheel and Tyre combination is too narrow for this much HP.
Damn if I didn't find a mint 2012 300 SRT with only 40k miles.
This is my dream car
You'll get it one day! I grabbed my dream car this year 2008 SRT8 Jeep

Truly one of America’s best cars ever made. One of my dream cars.

I own a 2014 SRT 300 this car is amazing. I love this car. It handles amazing has all the SRT modes for any road or track applications.
The only thing I don't like that it's a 4 door be cool be a 2 door coup
