Default Re: Definitely do the SRT Driving Experience

You got to drag race the Crossfire? The event I attended only had the 300C, Jeep and SRT-10 truck to drag. The Jeep was incredible, and we were warned to be careful using a camera when taking off else we would risk a black eye! The 10 was disappointing in that it was the slowest through the course. But then it does weigh 5,000 lbs.

At the end of the day ride along with an instructor, I chose to go with the Crossfire since I wanted to see what the car could really do. In turns we would catch up to a Viper. But the second the course straightened out, the Viper would shoot ahead.

During the autocross event my instructor told me to use both hands on the wheel. I've never been able to drive that way since I began learning to drive 30 plus years ago - it's just too weird and uncomfortable for me. However, I tried both hands in the Viper and surprisingly found it to be natural and comfortable. Still haven't tried the Crossfire two handed though.
