Car Board.(Chrysler 300M; Jaguar XK8 coupe; Ferrari 575M Maranello)(Brief Article)(Evaluation)
Ah, the French. Not only do we have them to thank for brie and Beaujolais Nouveau, but those cars! Tres beau. Want one? Too bad. Here are some alternatives, though.
* Chrysler 300M SPECIAL
Price: $34,250
Engine: 3.5-liter V6, 255 hp, 258 lb-ft
Curb weight: 3650 lbs
Drivetrain: fwd, four-speed automatic
As aesthetically pleasing as any American car on today's road, Chrysler's 300M looks elegant and powerful, sleek and strong. It gets better in this Special form, as the high-image model adds ground effects and lowers ride height by one-half inch. It also features 18-inch alloy wheels shod with P245/45 Z-rated Michelin Pilot Sport rubber. But the improvements aren't just superficial. The 300M Special also has firmer damping, tauter suspension tuning, bigger, more performance-oriented brakes, quicker steering, dual exhaust pipes integrated into the rear fascia, high-intensity discharge headlamps, a 3.89 top gear ratio and more power than standard models. Pretty, and potent.
