2012 300C SRT8: Cutting Loose - Track Days

2012 300C SRT8: Cutting Loose - Track Days

Not everything in the modern world seems to make sense - just look at the seemingly everlasting popularity of Justin Bieber. You can always find the strange and unusual lurking in just about every aspect of the way that we live our lives. So why should motoring be any different?

There has always been a slight oddity about the way cars are designed - something that doesn't seem to make sense. The next time you're in your car, take a look at the speedometer and you'll notice that it probably goes up to more than 200kph.

Now, when you consider that the maximum speed you can drive anywhere in Australia is 130kph it seems strange to design cars that are capable of doing double that. But of course this is a design feature that can be found on almost all modern luxury vehicles, so it's almost like a specifically designed oddity.

You can argue that the sensible reason is that if you want a car to have great acceleration then a high top speed just comes as a natural result. And while you can't use your car to its full potential on the road, there are other opportunities to enjoy the thrill of the speed.

Let's take the example of the new for 2012 300C SRT8. Chrysler® standard 300C is already a model that is famously powerful, not only in its looks, but in performance too. For the SRT8 version, Chrysler has taken a model that is already established as a quick car and made it even more fun to drive.

The SRT8 has been designed to give excellent on-road performance to give you the ultimate feeling when you sit behind the wheel. To make the most out of it, you'll want to take it to a track day.

If you've never heard of track days, they are when race tracks open up their course to the general public, and they are becoming extremely popular. Generally, while the rules are strict, the speed isn't limited so you can really cut loose and enjoy driving your car.

Track days have finally given you a sensible reason for having all that power stored up in the engine. It's time to unleash it. There's nothing quite like the feeling of driving round Australia's most famous racetracks as fast as your car can take it.

It's especially good when you're in a car like the 300C SRT8 because you're getting all the enjoyment of the power, but in a highly comfortable and stylish sedan. Chrysler's famous 6.4L HEMI engine provides all the speed you'll ever need.
