Burnout Monday: The “Mad Matt” Chrysler 300 SRT-8, Complete With Emissions-Legal 6-71 Supercharged 6.1L Hemi


Burnout Monday: The “Mad Matt” Chrysler 300 SRT-8, Complete With Emissions-Legal 6-71 Supercharged 6.1L Hemi

In the matter of the last two weeks, this car has been sent to me as a suggestion nineteen times. Pictures from the 2015 Spring Festival from various angles showed the same thing: a murdered-out 2006 Chrysler SRT-8 packing a supercharger. I tend to be skeptical of any new car with a Roots-type supercharger like this on a car because…well, frankly, outside of Australia, you simply don’t see this much anymore, and certainly not on late-model stuff, let alone a four-door luxo-barge Chrysler. But make no mistake, what you are seeing is absolutely real and is insanity, perfected. There isn’t much I can tell you about the car other than it’s running a 6.1 Hemi, which for a ’06 SRT is standard equipment, a 6-71 of unknown origins, the stock fuel injection system and all of the emissions equipment. I’m pretty sure he’s based out of Arizona (a lot of the landscape looks familiar) and saying that we want to see more of this sociopath is the understatement of the century. In the meantime, though, this is the first footage uploaded to the YouTube channel that’s hosted the build of this car that shows the SRT-8 screaming in anger. More, please.

    I don’t hear much blower whine. Maybe, just like the real Mad-Max car, this one is a fake?

      Definitely not fake.
      Not too much whine out of her yet. Still only at 4.5 PSI boost and under-driven a ton. The boosted engine build starts soon and I get to turn it up to 15 PSI.
      She should really howl then. Cant wait.

    Turn your speakers up. You can definitely hear it. I can’t see it making much boost, but it’s turning!

    Bryan, I see the perfect way to get your car farther away from the grandpa status it is currently sporting.

    Matt, this made my day! Not only is your murdered out 300 a total badass…but Ive been wanting to see a 300 with shaved rear doors to give it the look of a coupe for some time. That Interceptor looking supercharger thru hood and a burnout that makes every prius driver in a 50 mile radius crap their depends just adds to it. Good job, man! Hope to see more of your wicked sled.
