Template:InfoboxCar2The Chrysler 300C SRT-8 is a high performance car of the 300C series. Thanks to its 6.1L HEMI V8, the car is capable of going from 0-60 mph in under 4,9 seconds.
The 300C SRT-8 came onto the automobile market in 2004 and sales were ceased in 2010. The SRT-8 received a small rear spoiler integrated onto its body in 2007.
Need for Speed: Carbon
The 300C appears in Need for Speed: Carbon as a tier 1 Muscle with a price tag of $35,000. It is unlocked by default.
The 300C is an averagely performing vehicle. Its handling suffers from severe understeer in corners due to its large size and mass. This trait makes it less controllable than the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS.
The car is best used in pursuits to take advantage of its durability. The 300C is recommendable for race events without many sharp corners since it has a moderate top speed and quick acceleration with performance upgrades but still lacks behind to most cars in handling.
In the career mode, the 300C is commonly used by minor crews such as Inferno and can sometimes be seen being driven by 21st Street Crew members. Neville will drive a 300C if the player chooses the Chevrolet Camaro as their starting car class in the career mode.
In the Challenge Series, the player must drive a modified Chrysler 300C SRT-8 in a bronze tier speedtrap race.

The 300C appears in the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii releases of Need for Speed: Undercover.
Need for Speed: World
Template:NFSWlink The Chrysler 300C was added to the game on August 16th, 2012 in a Red Juggernaut trim. It was given a Tier 2 rating and only available as a top-up gift. Since August 22nd, 2012, the 300C has received a Class B rating and been no longer obtainable in the game.
The Red Juggernaut is upgraded with Gromlen race tuned parts. It has an overall rating of 532. It also comes with a full set of two star rated skill mods as standard. They include;

Its body kit cannot be reapplied after removal. Aside from the Team Escape Edition paint job, the 300C has a red neon underlight, unique licence plate, stage 3 lowering kit and black 20" rims.
In terms of performance, the Red Juggernaut is a decent car. It has a good acceleration speed. Nitrous boost is above average but not as powerful as seen on some SpeedBoost exclusive Class B cars. The 300C is prone to oversteer in low-speed corners and oddly featured with heavy steering whilst turning at high speeds. Top speed is 185 mph (298 kmh).
The addition of pursuit skill mods make the 300C more suitable for Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape than racing, since it is easily outmatched by Class B cars with better handling such as the Ford Escort RS Cosworth.
Trivia
- A silver 300C prominently appears during a flashback at the beginning of Need for Speed: Carbon. It reverses to reveal an alleyway that the player uses to escape but quickly blocks the route again after they pass it.
