I bought mine to race,, i have raced every car I have ever owned,, ( not the ones I bought for parts) I drive each one before and after modifying.
I know it sounds strange but i have owned and raced over 1500 cars, started with a 1929 model A that would only go 72mph that was in 1956,
owning 397 twoseater amx's and now 4 Crossfires all srt6 three of them i swapped in the 5.4 Mercedes supercharge engine,
My first Crossfire i bought ,,,Never sat in one much less driven one, 18000 miles price was $18000, + all the fees 18800+ on the way home,
from the dealer in Gainesville fl back to Ft Lauderdale on a Wednesday I stopped at Palm Beach Raceway and raced it 100% stock
I ran 13.2 @ 89 mph when this crossfire reached 32 thousand miles I swapped a SL55 engine and transmission into it, ok Rudy built
it for me because he was and is the guru on Crossfires and Mercedes . The first run was 1135@ 108.
Now i am on my 4 srt6 3 of them with the SL55 engine and all running in the 10"s Oh I did own a Roadster for a month and did not race it
because the track said i needed a roll cage so i went home and got the coupe with the V8... I drive my Crossfire V8 every day or so,
it is a street/strip built car, My wife has driven it to the store a few times. It drives like any Mercedes with the 5.4 engine but is 1000
lbs lighter. that is my story jim
