    Ok guys here it goes.

    I am looking at buying one of the two following SRT vehicles. I would like to hear your opinions on the two.

    The first being a 2006 300C SRT-8 with 8700 miles for $27,500.
    Options are: nav, rear dvd, sun roof, kicker sound system and every other standard feature for the SRT. The color being grey.

    The second being a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 with 14,400 miles for $34,500.
    Options are: nav, rear backup camera and the standard features for the SRT including remote start. The color being steel blue.

    I am really at odds with this decision and am going back and forth and just can't seem to commit.

    What are your plans for the vehicle...grocery getter, mod the hell out of it, daily driver? Do you plan on drag racing or road racing, or both?

    I am biased, but buy the JEEP.
    AWD, and the best 0-60. I love mine.

    I really don't heavily mod my vehicles.

    I guess it will be used mainly to go out in and drive to work. I work nights so traffic isn't a factor.

    The 10 isn't a good date vehicle cause you are always shifting and can't really "play."

    The grey is an alright color but it is mainly the price that got my attention.

    I owned a Jeep and it was a blast and wish I wouldn't have been a complete retard the day I traded it in.

    Well I was thinking about maybe getting the 300C now and getting a used Jeep later.

    I like the fact that the 2008 Jeeps came with the HIDs.

    I like the styling of the 300c as well.

    Decisions, decisions.:sweat::sweat:

    the 300 is a very classy car and there is alot more aftermarket stuff for it. ie: grills, wheels, etc.

    I just love the idea of kicking "fast" car's (mustangs, cameros, imports, etc) @sses with an SUV.

    I am wanting either SRT-8 to go with my SRT-10 Ram CE.

    I love the Ram and it is fun but they don't make them anymore and mine is #77 of 200 and it only has 7800 miles on it.

    Nice tits. LOL

    I'm partial to the 300 myself. Over $100 less a month and almost 6,000 miles less.

    GC's are to narrow for my big ass too.

    They are too narrow for my big ass to. I just dealt with it cause I had so much fun. It would squish my n*ts every time I would drive it.

    I just liked it that much. I might get the 300C now due to over $100 less a month and get the Jeep later if the diet the doctor put my horizontally challenged ass on works.

    Those are nice in the avatar. You should see them in person. I hope I don't get in trouble by the mods for having it.

    By the way I believe it has this grill on it.

    I would be glad to trade it for a stock grill straight up, if this is the route i choose to go.

    You can't go wrong with either. The 300 is classy with badass brawn built-in. I love the jeep too though hehehehe.

    Once again, it's going to boil down to what you ultimately want. My best friend has a gray 300 I drive pretty often. It's an absolute blast to drive, extremely comfortable & very sharp looking. It seems to be a bit more of a "sleeper", too. I guess due to the fact that it doesn't scream "horsepower" when you look at it.

    My DD is a GC SRT8, though. And I must say, 99% of the time, it's my preference. I love the AWD. Being able to pull a 1.8 60' from a redlight while leaving the look of complete confusion on the face of the "insert sports car here" driver in the other lane is just too much fun. :shock: This thing gets TONS of attention. I won't like. That's pretty cool. I have had a lot of vehicles in my day and none of them have generated the attention & looks this thing gets.


    So again, it's all in what you want. I know personally I would go for the Jeep. Hell, it has extra points 'cause it's the fastest color. :grin:

    Ok guys I went with the SRT-8 Jeep.

    I found a 2007 silver one with 13,000 on the clock for $30,000.

    I am EXTREMELY happy about getting back into a Jeep SRT-8.

    The salesman siad "I thought you loed the 300C?"

    I responded with "True, but I will make love to the Jeep."
