Car Life called the Chrysler 300G “the best road car on the market.” Chrysler called it “the brand-new 1961 version of Chrysler’s championship breed of rare motorcars. The 300G could do 0-to-60 mph in 8.4 seconds, and 0-to-100 mph in 21.2 seconds. The quarter mile took 16.2 seconds at 87.4 mph. Top speed of the 300G was reported by Car Life to be 131 mph. At Daytona, a 300G running with the optional 2.93:1 axle ratio won the NASCAR Flying Mile Championship with a two-way average of 143.0 mph. A 300G also won the NASCAR Standing Mile Championship with a speed of 90.7 mph.
