Chrysler 300 SRT-8 - 425HP!
Chrysler Boosts 300C SRT-8 To 425 HP
How much power is too much? If you can't readily come up with an answer, indeed, if you're the type of person who wonders why someone even ask that question in the first place, you're in luck. You'd think Chrysler's 300C would be suited well with its 340-hp, 5.7-liter HEMI - yet there are always those who insist there's room for more. And Chrysler apparently agrees. The carmaker hoped to eke out a modest increase when it decided to bore out the HEMI to 6.1 liters. The results took even the most optimistic powertrain engineers by surprise, confides Dan Knott, director of SRT, the automaker's high-performance operations. How does 425 hp suit you?

Does anyone know that the HEMI is indeed mass-produced AMG engine? Hope not... Otherwise, it would be just like the crossfire SRT that uses mass-produced C32 engine.
