The squish pads improve the situation significantly, with the only drawback being semantics regarding the trademark name. Squabbling about the chamber shape neglects the most important attribute of the Hemi design - the valve placement. Domed pistons in a hemi chamber results in a thin skin of charge imagine a golf ball sitting next to an orange rind and you get the idea. Ideally, a combustion chamber would resemble a sphere, as this results in the least surface area for a given volume (that means less heat rejection to the coolant) and the smallest burn distance for a spark plug. OK, so are these really Hemis? The modern rendition uses two 'squish pads', one each to the front and rear of the chamber this helps keep the air-fuel charge closer to the center of the chamber and encourage additional turbulence. The 426-cubic-inch second-gen version dominated stock-car racing and still has its place in drag racing it wasn't really a great street engine, but regardless it built name recognition like few other engines. Inevitably, someone will ask, 'are these engines really Hemis?' First, we should define the term Hemi - it's short for 'hemispherical combustion chamber', and it relates to the distinctive half-spherical combustion chamber shape used in certain Chrysler V8s back in the 50s and 60s. The 300C model is a Turismo car manufactured by Chrysler, with 4 doors and 5 seats, sold new from year 2006 until 2008, and available after that as a used car.In this installment, we'll take a peek inside the Chrysler Hemi siblings - the garden-variety 5.7L, and the rip-roaring 6.1L version found in SRT8 products. For stopping power, the 300C 6.1 SRT8 braking system includes Vented Discs at the front and Discs at the rear. Stock tire sizes are 255 / 45 on 20 inch rims at the front, and 255 / 45 on 20 inch rims at the rear.

On the topic of chassis details responsible for road holding, handling behavior and ride comfort, the 300C has Coil springs. The power is transmitted to the road by the rear wheel drive (RWD) with a 5 speed Automatic gearbox. This engine produces a maximum power of 431 PS (425 bhp - 317 kW) at 6200 rpm and a maximum torque of 569 Nm (419 lb.ft) at 4800 rpm. With a fuel consumption of 14 litres/100km - 20 mpg UK - 17 mpg US (Average), 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 5.0 seconds, a maximum top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h), a curb weight of 4328 lbs (1963 kgs), the 300C 6.1 SRT8 has a naturally-aspirated V 8 cylinder engine, Petrol motor.
