I think the biggest complaint i've seen from people about the SS is how it looks like a normal Chevy sedan, meanwhile the SRT 300 stands out big time.

some people like the sleeper look though.

just wish SS had more power.

I can't complain about the looks of the SRT. It does look like a poor man's Bentley Flying Spur.

And for some of us that is not a complaint but rather a desirable quality. I love our current '07 SS Impala for that very reason. It's just another boring Impala until there's a need to step on the loud pedal, then I love to see the looks of bewilderment from the 'Stang, import, etc. drivers that dare to challenge. :blink:
How much more fun it will be with the new SS! :biggrin:

Funny you mentioned that, the last few weeks I have noticed several 300's that have been debadged and redone with Bentley badging ... Don't know if it's a new fad starting or just a bunch of typical posers.

You mean stands out like a rap video? But why dose the SRT look so hood rich?

I posed this question in the other thread: has anyone taken off those fake plastic harness thingys from their seat backs I'm tempted to do it but curious what is would look like.

Thanks for posting the article Tarnath

The most amazing disparity from these two cars is the price as tested- $45,770 vs $61,570. That $15,800 difference put towards mods should be more than enough to put check boxes in the SS win column for every single comparison.

Two items wrong we have forged wheels.
They mention 300 had more head room they don't show that in specs.

Many moons ago when the 300's first came out there were a couple aftermarket 'jazz 'em up' suppliers making Bentley lookalike grills and stuff for them. A few dealers around here were making big $$ jazzing them up like back in the "simulated convertible carriage roof" glue and screw on days.

Thanks for posting the article, definitely going to pick up this issue.

The 474 lb weight difference really should be emphasized. When you start to look at the lb's/hp numbers they're awfully close, and start to favor the SS with very minor things like slight weight reduction or even more so with only a dyno tune.

That and just looking at the performance numbers they got show just how close they really are.

As mentioned for 16k you can do some mods and smoke an SRT. Strapping a supercharger on top of that small block and it's see ya later Mopar!! The SS is one of the best balanced sport sedans out there for the money!! The 300 is an in your face style where the SS is more smooth and stealthy. I would choose the SS over the 300 any day.

Really all you'd need to walk away from the 300 is a dyno tune/Livernois canned tune. If you look the 300 only out trapped it by a mile per hour.

Trust me, from the day it came out, this probably accounts for over 50% of it's sales.

More folks bought it for the wrong reasons (look like Bentley!)

...than for the right ones (RWD, powerful V8, good chassis at the time)

This. 600 bucks should do, not 16k.
