Judging from your aftermarket parts you want, the 300C is your best bet. It's known to have a great 'personality' with bling on it. I'm just a car fan, not really Chrysler biased.

Power
GTO: 6L
300C: 5.7L

Warranty
About the same

Crash Ratings
GTO: Not tested
300C: Driver...excellent. Passanger...excellent. Rollover...good. Side Impact...good

Exterior Color Choices
GTO: 7
300C: 9

Wheels

GTO: alloy
300C: Chrome alloy

Chrome Grille
GTO: Na
300C: Standard

Seating
GTO: 4
300C: 5

Those are some of the options. Edmunds.com, the place where I compared them, showed the 300C beyond favorable compared to the GTO...

well, ok thanks for the big help. since they both cost about the same i guess i can go with the 300c

If you want satellite radio I believe it is not available as an option on the GTO.

I don't know if you already got the car. But with those mods you have in mind, you definately want a 300C...

RE: Thinking bout 300c or GTO
 

no i didnt get it yet, but why should i go with the C with all those mods? isnt the 300 basically the same except for the horsepower, and soem other detail features

RE: Thinking bout 300c or GTO
 

you need to compare the srt-8 to the gto.i too was thinkin of the gto.but it was so damn plain,no options..it looks like a honda accord on steriods.so i got the 300c srt-8

RE: Thinking bout 300c or GTO
 

300 all the way. but please leave off the spinners. just my opinion.

The 300C is known for the mods that you've posted, but it just comes down to opinion. If you're willing to spend money on mods and stuff, I think 7 grand more for the SRT-8 might be worth it.
