Chrysler 300M

The Chrysler 300M reaches 60 mph in 8.50 s (100 km/h in 8.93 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.55 s, tripping the lights at 87.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.75 s and the eighth mile in 10.82 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 300M

The 1998 Chrysler 300M is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,683 kg with 255 bhp, which works out at 151 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.75 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,489th quickest to 60 mph, and the 41st quickest of the 76 Chryslers here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 87.3 mph, the 6,235th 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Chrysler 300M 0-60 time?
The Chrysler 300M reaches 60 mph in 8.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,489th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chrysler 300M quarter mile time?
16.55 s at 87.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.82 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.75 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chrysler 300M have?
255 bhp and 1,683 kg, which is 151 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chrysler 300M?
Closest here on pace: Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365 (8.33 s), Opel Signum 2.0 16V Turbo 130 (8.51 s), Opel Signum 2.0 16v Turbo 150 (8.51 s). Each one can be raced against the Chrysler 300M 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 300M 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.
