Hey hey… guess who it is? Das right, it’s me again your favorite fresh ride reviewer. Pimpmasta with a capital P! I promised you young homies out there that I got something for you, and when Pimpmasta says he has something… he always delivers! So maybe you like that R63, but you just bought a new cuban and can’t quite swing that hefty down payment. This topic seems to be a favorite these days “Balling on a Budget”. Well big P calls it “Pimpin on Pennies”. Well, there actually isn’t just one right answer to this, but I’ll start with the 300. The first generation Chrysler 300 is excellent at portraying that pimp image. It ain’t no surprise this car was flaunted in many hip-hop and rap hits back in it’s day. In stock form the exterior is just gaudy enough to get the attention of potential clients. Under the bling lies a buffet of engine options. First is the 2.7 v6, that shit straight up sucks, don’t even lift your shades. Then there is the 3.5 v6, which is kinda boring but if you super tight on coin, it will work. Now nothing can wake a pimp up outta a coma faster than the mention of a v8. The next option is the classic 5.7 HEMI, (best bang fo yo buck in my opinion). And if you are still within the return window with that cuban you just bought, there is the SRT8 with the 6.1 HEMI. Pimp’s gonna assume if you are springing for a v6, you don’t care about power. The 5.7 makes 340 horsepower and the 6.1 makes 425. Chrysler had a partnership with Benz at the time, so you get some good chassi engineering too. The plastic interior is disappointing for most, but is actually a benefit for you starter pimps. That cheap plastic that covers seemingly 80% of the interior is super easy to clean. Hell, it’s just like washing the dishes! Yo pitbull decided to piss all over the interior? Don’t stress about it, just hose it out; couple squirts of cologne and you’re good. This is great if you offer in-car service, it allows you to have quick turnarounds even if a client gets a lil extra messy. Unlike quality luxury marks, Chrysler is cheap. But so are their parts so the cost of ownership is low. Unless you got a heavy right foot. The cherry on top, ice on the chain, whatever… these are dirt cheap now. Go get one! I gotta give this whip an 8/10 just because of what it offers for the money and the notorious image it portrays.
