About “Project M”

This was my 1999 Chrysler 300M, also known as Project M!! The scope of the project is simple, to make this car do something that is was not necessarily built to do, be a quick street car, and a decent drag strip car, while being in the lap of luxury!! We have pushed the limits of the stock PCM programming. Now, we have upgraded that as well.

This is what the car has done at the track. These results were reached on 11/18/2006 at Edgewater Raceway Park in Cleves, OH.
Best 60': 2.099
Best 1/4 Mile ET: 15.014
Best Trap Speed: 90.84
We ended the 2006 season .015 seconds away from the 14's!! We will break through the barrier in 07...stay tuned!!!

**UPDATE** this car was totaled in an accident on 2/21/2007.

RIP My Faithful Steed!!
