SRT8

Joekerr · 03-03-2015, 10:42 PM

I have to say, I really enjoy drifting it around parking lots. We had some freezing rain mixed with snow, so I went over to a huge lot that only has a few light standards that need to be avoided and had a lot of fun.

For a 4300 lb car, it is very predictable in how it lets go, and easy to maintain controlled oversteer. I'm really enjoying the car so far...hoping it continues to be good to me!

Though I do miss the steering feel in my old 335i...and the brakes.

When I was a teenager we lived near a huge parking lot with no light posts in one area. When it froze over we'd go out and have a ball getting our cars into spins on the ice. It actually taught me how to drive on ice and snow and recover from skids. Best training ever.

Difficult to take when I'm the only one in the car and doing the driving...and not going to set a camera down in the snow. Though one day I should get a buddy to film it, that would be a good idea.

I don't have go pro either.

What year srt8?

Billup · 03-13-2015, 05:31 PM

What SRT8 chassis...? lol

I test drove a new 300 SRT that I almost got before the 128. Honestly, that car was very spirited for the size, and it looks way better than its predecessors.

Its a 2012 300 SRT8. And agree with Billup, despite its mass, it actually really hustles.
