The Kleemann Supercharger will fit the Chrysler Crossfire and Renntech already tunes the Chrysler Crossfire, but that car has a Mercedes 3.2 engine.
The 300C and Magnum will use a 5.7 Hemi with the MBZ 5-Speed Auto so Kleemann may not get involved with that. Expect to see Tuning stuff from Lorinser and Brabus's Chrysler arm called www.StarTech.de for the 300C. The 300C is going to Europe so many euro tuners will eventually tune the 300C.
The US Factory tuned versions will be called the '300 SRT-8' and 'Magnum SRT-8' with either a supercharged 5.7 or an all new 6.1 liter V8 with over 400HP. Reports say these are due in the fall.

Another great aspect of these new Chrysler/Dodge LX chassis cars is that 20" - 22" rims are possible, if one is inclined to do so. Tuning stuff for these cars should be reasonable.
For many this will be a no-brainer. $35k for a 300C Hemi and 340HP and more interior than an E-Class or spend $35k for a C240 and 168HP.
It also has a 7-year/70,000 mile powertrain warranty.

That car is plain ugly. Chop off the back half of the car and the front half looks like it could be of a large pick up truck. I hope this rolling cinder block looks better in the flesh. Yuck:p

If this car is ugly then so is every Bentley and Rolls. BTW, who want a "pretty" or cute car? I like the bold look, ugly or not. If you don't like here are the competitors. Are they pretty?:

I actually sat in both the 300C and the Magnum this past weekend at the Barrett-Jackson auction sponsored by Chrysler. I also took the 300C for a very brief drive around the fairgrounds parking lot. It is an incredible car for $35,000. I liked the dash on the 300C better than the Magnum, but I like the chopped station wagon look better.
Maybe I'll trade the S500 for a 300C. Hey Kev, what are you doing trolling on srtforums anyway?
