For the prices they are great values. Both cars together cost less than my 02 E55. Base prices - 02 E55 $71k - 05 300C $32k - Magnum $29k. They are also large cars and the E-Class is mid-size.

Performance is good, ride and handling is good for a stock car. Rides like a Euro car (more stiff) instead of like a US car. The power numbers are close, the torque is the same @390 and the HP is close 349/355 vs 340hp (Hemi) but even with the same tranny and rear end gearing the E55 moves out more quickly and more agressively. Kick downs are not as exciting in Hemi's.

Gas mileage is worse than E55 even with the 4 cylinder shutdown MDS system. Of course these cars are heavier. I get about 15 mpg in E55 and only 12/13 in Magnum, but may get better with age, only have 1k miles on the Magnum. The 300C is broken in (6k miles) and seems a tad quicker than the Magnum at this point.

So far so good.

A $40k 300C SRT-8 with 425HP & 420 ft lb from 6.1 liter Hemi comes in 6 months. Also 4 door Dodge Charger with both Hemi's.

Do you have any problems with the front tires running a 245/35/20??? because I was running that size on my TOYO's and found out that the control arm bolt did dig into the tire a very very lil bit. Any problems with yours?

SO FAR IT'S OK, I DO KNOW THAT SOMETHING WAS DONE TO THE ARM BOLT. IT WAS DONE BY THE WHEEL SHOP WHERE I HAD THEM INSTALLED. I LIKE IT.
