Limit Pushing - Chrysler 300m Top Speed Test (Almost hit a truck)
(Limited: 111 mph)
If you watch the end of the video, you get to see us almost hit a truck while driving at about 100 mph.
The Chrysler 300M:
The Chrysler 300M was produced from 1999 to 2004 after Chrysler's revival of the 300 name. Chrysler's goal of the 300M was to compete with similar sporty sedan imports which was a market not yet probed by other American auto makers. This time the 300 would be FWD with a 255 hp V6 engine car in the LH platform. This engine would be the only one available for the 300M. It was shared with the Plymouth Prowler and a limited edition R/T variant of the second-generation Dodge Intrepid. Rated at 253 HP, and 255 lb-ft of torque, it was connected to the 42LE, a four-speed automatic transmission with Autostick, which allowed manual selection of gears. The 300M was much more of a luxury car as opposed the older Chrysler letter cars.

Limit Pushing - Chrysler 300c Hemi Top Speed Test
130 MPH was what we were expecting, but we just couldn't get that needle to move any further. It is pretty damn fast considering the thing is shaped like a brick. The 300C is limited at 130 MPH.
The 300C:
The 300C comes with a 5.7 L Hemi V8. At full power, the 300C creates 340 hp and 390 lbs of torque. This engine runs on four cylinders when less power is needed to reduce fuel consumption. Even with this energy saving mode, the 300C runs at 15 mpg city, 23 mpg highway. All 300Cs use a 5-speed automatic transmission and standard 18 inch chrome-clad alloy wheels.
Heritage Edition:
The Heritage Edition 300C comes with the 5.7 L Hemi engine and many of the SRT-8's exterior modification, added chrome, special tires on 18 inch wheels, and SmartBeam headlights.
Special SRT Packages:
In 2007 the SRT Design group created a package for non-SRT 300C's that includes performance suspension, SRT 20 inch polished aluminum wheels, a high speed engine controller with revised tuning for 5.7 L HEMI that brings the power to 350 HP, high flow air cleaner system, and performance Exhaust.
The SRT-8:
The SRT-8 version of the 300 includes a 6.1 L Hemi V8 which produces 425 hp. This engine produces 0-60 mph times of 5.1 seconds. The SRT-8 includes leather SRT-8 performance seats, 20 inch polished aluminum wheels, Brembo brakes, and rear lip spoiler.
Limit Pushing - Toyota Camry LE Top Speed Test
Toyota Camry LE 4 cyl (Top Speed (Limited): 122 mph)
The Toyota Camry:
The Toyota Camry began being manufactured by Toyota in 1980. The name "Camry" is a westernized transcription of the Japanese word kanmuri, which means "crown". This follows Toyota's tradition of using crown in the name for primary models starting with the Toyota Crown in 1955 followed by the Toyota Corona and Corolla which are the Latin words for "crown" and "small crown". "Camry" is also an anagram for "my car".
The Camry was originally launched as the Toyota Celica Camry in January 1980 to the Japanese market, this model resembled a 1978 Toyota Celica XX, known as the Celica Supra in export markets. This became the first Celica to be sold in a sedan model rather than coupe.
In 2001, the 2002 model year Toyota Camry known as the XV30 generation, was released as a larger but without a station wagon for the first time. The XV30 generation received the 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE I4 engine producing 157 hp with 162 ft•lbf of torque. Due to station wagons losing popularity to minivan and crossover SUVs, the Camry wagon was replaced by the Sienna minivan and the Highlander SUV, which are all the three vehicles utilizing the Camry's platform.
