Default SRT DESIGN???

On my way home tonight some guy in a 300C comes flying by me, then get caught by a light. When he passed i got a view of the rear and noticed a SRT emblem. So, as i'm approching him sitting at the light I read what said (in red)SRT DESIGN(in chrome), the emblem looked just like the SRT8 one just design instead of 8. it look authenic and the whole car did too. Wheels, exhaust, etc. Anyway he looks as if he wanted to run and me, not even knowing what it was, was gonna see what happens. light green and after a quick shift to 2nd he's toast. Was thinking about it all the way home, trying to figure out what did i race.
Have anyone heard of this model? Is it a factory model or something that the dealers put together? And what type of engine is it? Because i couldn't hear it over the slp's and I didn't rape him I just beat him. So, my guess would be the 5.7 "HEMI".

Could've been either one really. Although an SRT-8 should take you by a little bit, that doesn't mean you didn't race one and beat it. You're sure there wasn't an "8" at the end of that SRT emblem?

The SRT Design is just a 5.7 300C w/ cosmetic upgrades. It has the body kit and wheels of the SRT-8 car, and the prerequisite badges, etc. It also has an exhaust upgrade I believe, at least the tips. Same numbers as a regular 300C. Nice kill.....

By the sounds of things, it was just the 5.7 Hemi. The SRT-8 would have beaten you and you should have beaten the 5.7 Hemi by a few cars. Nice kill

I don't think launching a 300C or Charger would be that difficult..
Personally i already think my GT is one of the easiest cars i've ever launched.

They're heavy and Auto.. how hard could it be,... i take it just gas/braking around 2500RPM would be enough for a decent launch without traction issues.
