The 2009 Chrysler 300 SRT-8 is one of those cars that instantly reminds you what a true American performance sedan feels like when it’s done the right way: rear-wheel drive attitude, a massive presence on the road, and the kind of naturally aspirated V8 power that hits with real urgency the moment you lean into the throttle. This is the flagship of the 300 lineup—built for serious enthusiasts—and it blends that big, commanding full-size sedan vibe with the firmer chassis, larger brakes, and aggressive SRT-specific hardware that make it feel genuinely special from behind the wheel.
At the heart of it is the legendary 6.1L naturally aspirated HEMI V8—an engine that delivers 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, with power that’s described in the period reviews as smooth, relentless, and downright addictive. It isn’t just fast for a big sedan—it’s the kind of fast that makes the car feel like it “jumps off the line,” with that unmistakable deep-throated HEMI soundtrack that enthusiasts chase. There’s a reason editors kept coming back to the same theme: this car is fun, it’s engaging, and it’s the antithesis of the old stereotype that big American sedans have to be floaty or numb. With SRT tuning, the 300 feels planted and confidence-inspiring, with accurate steering, strong stability at speed, and the sort of chassis composure that can genuinely surprise you the first time you drive one hard.
And this example is exactly the kind of SRT-8 that’s becoming harder to find in today’s market—especially with mileage and presentation like this. It has covered only 56,428 miles since new, and it’s finished in a sharp Silver exterior that perfectly fits the 300’s bold, squared-off style. Up front, the massive grille and SRT-specific aggression give it the kind of menacing presence that made these cars icons the moment they hit the street. Inside, it pairs beautifully with a Slate interior featuring leather seats with SRT embroidery, and you get the comfort and control you want in a high-performance sedan, including a front power-adjustable driver seat with heated seats—a perfect match for a car that’s equally happy cruising the highway or delivering that grin-inducing surge when the road opens up.
The engineering details that separate the SRT-8 from the standard 300 aren’t marketing fluff—they’re the foundation of what makes this car feel like a true SRT product. Period evaluations highlight the firmer suspension setup compared with the “regular” Hemi cars, along with the big-car muscle demeanor that still manages to stay controlled and composed. Even with a full-size curb weight that’s very real in the driving feel, the payoff is the kind of rock-solid structure and confidence that lets the power work without the car feeling flimsy or overwhelmed. This isn’t a car built around gimmicks—it's built around the simple formula enthusiasts respect: a big-displacement V8, rear-wheel drive, serious brakes, and a chassis designed to handle it.
Just as important, the ownership timeline on this one is exactly the kind of long-term hold that stands out: the first owner kept it for 14 years, which speaks to how these cars can become “keepers” for the people who understand what they are. The 300 SRT-8 isn’t a generic luxury sedan—it's a distinctive, purpose-built American performance flagship from an era when the industry briefly gave enthusiasts something genuinely bold. And today, clean, properly presented examples—especially with reasonable miles and the right spec—are getting harder to track down.
If you’ve been waiting for a full-size performance sedan with real old-school character and modern control, the 2009 Chrysler 300 SRT-8 delivers it in a way few cars can: 425 horsepower, rear-drive attitude, a serious SRT look anchored by that unmistakable front end, and an interior that fits the mission without trying to be something it’s not. This is the kind of car that doesn’t need exaggeration
