Crossfire srt6
 

saw this car on car and driver tv. its pretty fast, looks decent and handles great. it has big brakes and fat tires and wheels.

13.7 @ 107mph is what C&D tested it as.

downside:
45k
auto only.

this picture is kinda ugly. i dont like the spoiler.

Too bad, that thing would be sweet with a standard and with either a different spoiler, or none. Cool car though ;D

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

And of course they had to picture it with a bitch driving it. I guess we know who the car is aimed for :-\

I always liked the crossfire, I just wish it came with more balls standard

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

That and the fact that it drives like ----, bounces all over the road and lets you feel every bump in the road, kinda like a Honda with poly inserts.

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

yeah, but that is the same reason it rips around the track. its give and take.

when cars are built to ride smooth and comfortable, everyone says they suck cause they can't rip around corners.

then when they're built to rip around corners, they suck cause they dont ride smooth.

lol

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

i think the base models go pretty dang fast, but they dont accelerate quite as good. the base models aren't too bad in the handling department either

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

Yeah, they say that the yuppies won't like the less than perfect ride even though it handles nice on a track. You can't win. It either doesn't handle or it doesn't ride. Pick one. :-\

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

i had to drive my moms 95 stratus around for a couple days cause i was too lazy to put an alt in my car...

its got the smallest engine that came in them 2.5l v6, but the fucker is so smooth just driving around... its like a worlds difference compared to my integra... it handles pretty dang good too, i seriously think it could out handle my integra. it feels so much more stable... i think its cause of the weight.... i did beat my friends fuckus by a couple cars though to 80 :P

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

I like the front end of the crossfire, looks nice and rugged. But I wish I could say the same for the back :-\ The convertable model looks descent, but the back of the hard top verison in my opinion is booty. With it's short trunk, but I guess you gotta figure that being built on the Mercedes SLK frame.

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

i think the verdict is

EHHH

IMO they're cool and handle good and is fast.

but just cost too much, and not the best looking.

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

the CTS-V is the same price. much cooler car.

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

Yeah, it's still pretty fast for what it is, but for the money, maybe not. :-\

I'm surprised there haven't been any "With $45k I could build a Honda....." posts yet. ;)

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

with 45k i could build a super pro dragster that runs 4's in the 8th.

i dont like the crossfire. or many dodges. but i like there older trucks 85 ish. and the magnum looks alright. its like the most non gay station wagon ive ever seen.

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

the crossfire is built on a mercedes slk motor w/ a rebadged 320 as far as I know. I think they should come out with a crossfire w/ a c32 motor in it. then it might be worthwile.

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

its not a rebadged anything... lmao

it might share the frame... the motor uses a AMG supercharger, but as far as i know its not a amg built engine or a benz engine.

the motor makes somethin like 330hp / 300ft-lbs.

Not exactly the same, but you could see the similarities. I think this Crossfire is utilizing the C32 engine, being that you say the car has some 330 hp, and the c32 has some 34x hp?

Or maybe it's using the AMG SLK engine.

Look at the major similarities of the C32/SLK32 engine and the crossfire engine, they are the same

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

well at least they increased the horsepower on that car cuz when it first came out the power that bitch came with was lame :-\

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

being that it has the C/SLK32 engine, i wanna test drive it, cause we all know the C32 hauls major ass!

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

i think it is the same engine.

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

just the styling of the crossfire is what's going to scare away most buyers.. mercedes is always a mercedes.

Re:Crossfire srt6
 

I totally agree with you
