Default ORSM new addition to the garage

I've been lying low for quite some time guys and I think I've been up to no good. I've bitten the bullet and bought a car that's been on my mind for a while. By this time next week I should be the proud owner of a 300C SRT8, black of course.

Yeah, I'd thought about an F6, either a second hand one or wait for an Orion F6. I think the purchase was a spur of the moment thing. I wasn't intending to buy a car in the morning but by the end of the day it was mine.
Tuning? The GT's still in the garage and Chris is the only person that's touching that one.

Nah, not at this stage. The SRT8 comes with 20" wheels as standard. I might go with a bit of lowering though.

Thanks for the link. That one's a "regular" 300C with the 5.7 litre in it. Mine's an SRT8 with the 6.1 litre in it and yeah it's new. I picked it up yesterday so I've been having fun running it in.
