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.

Carlsson CK55
This is a 2005 E55 that has the Carlsson CK55 power package installed (supercharger pulleys upgrade, ecu, exhaust) electronic lowering module, and 19’’ Uls wrapped with Michelin PS2s. What do you guys think?
