Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I

The Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I reaches 60 mph in 8.10 s (100 km/h in 8.47 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.27 s, tripping the lights at 89.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s and the eighth mile in 10.75 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I

The 2004 Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,714 kg with 249 bhp, which works out at 146 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 146 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.73 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,735th quickest to 60 mph, and the 32nd quickest of the 76 Chryslers here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 89.1 mph, the 5,479th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I 0-60 time?
The Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I reaches 60 mph in 8.10 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,735th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I quarter mile time?
16.27 s at 89.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I have?
249 bhp and 1,714 kg, which is 146 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 219 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I?
Closest here on pace: VW Golf II GTI 3dr 1.8 129 (8.19 s), Suzuki Swift 3dr 1.6 125 (8.10 s), Jaguar X-Type 3.0 (7.98 s). Each one can be raced against the Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
