You know how we like to tease Lohnes with all of the big, lumbering work truck beasts we can find on Craigslist and eBay? Yeah…it was funny when I was the one finding old trucks and posting them up. It’s cruel torment when I’m the one getting an inbox of perfectly suited cars every day. I can thank an old Army buddy of mine, Sam Lesher, for sending me this gem. Thanks, man…I guess this is my just desserts for running my mouth off about your Mercedes way back when?
It’s no secret that I’m currently enamored with modern Mopar performance…between the Modern Street Hemi Shootout racing, the cars that I’ve covered, and the sensations I’ve felt driving and riding in Chrysler LXs that are making big-boy power, two things come to mind instantly: I want that kind of power…and I’m poor. Dammit…that’s just the luck. But that doesn’t stop the dreaming, and just when I was starting to get over the six-speed 300 SRT-8 I drove a couple of weeks ago, Lesher finds me a 2006 Chrysler 300 Executive that is set to kill. What’s an Executive, you ask? In Chrysler-speak, Executive and E-Class means that the wheelbase has had a stretch for the rear passenger compartment…in the 300’s case, that’s six additional inches’ worth of room. But that’s the last iota of luxury you need to think about when it comes to this Chrysler. Instead, figure out how to keep your rear-seat passenger from staining the surfaces when all 744 horsepower and well over 800 ft/lbs of torque kick them square in the ass.
Here’s the rundown on what’s in store, verbatim from the ad:

Money no object, indeed. One part executive sedan, two parts “holy hell, how fast is this damn thing?!” I’m in lust. Pure, unadulterated lust.
Craigslist Link: 2006 Chrysler 300 Executive Series
OMG!
What sort of idiot builds probably the best ever modified late Chrysler product then goes and undoes all his fine work be putting on those truly awful white-lettered tyres?
Still its nothing that tyre paint can’t fix..
For the love of God, White letter in!!!
Where is the darn link?
It says there is one, but it doesn’t work!
11.7 @ 123 all motor? He’d need more than a CAI, throttle body, exhaust, and Predator to get there if that’s true. Maybe he left some big stuff out?
