Default Wanted ... Crossfire Videos

My idea is to compile all known Crossfire related videos onto DVD and share it with fellow owners via this forum. I would be willing to compile the DVD and make it available to someone who would be willing to distribute it at cost (a couple bucks plus shipping should do it).

I already have two road tests of Crossfires that aired on Speed Channel. Are there others?

Back in 2003 or 2004 I managed to videotape an episode of Speed Channel's Test Drive Series (or shall I say infomercial) on the 2004 Crossfire. I cannot remember if it was by accident or not. Anyhow, I saved it.

If it has never been discussed in this forum before, I would like to make it available to anyone would be interested in sharing it. I've converted it to an NTSC DVD.

The program was a half an hour long and dedicated entirely to the Crossfire. Highlights are as follows:

- Tommy Kendall Hosts

- Ride with Tommy as he drives 150+ mph on the Autobahn. Tommy claims that "its the fastest he has ever driven a street car". The stability at that speed is amazing (to me).

- A brief look at the Karmann Plant showing Crossfires being assembled and tested on the 12 point simulation rig.

- Tests on a Calif. road course with Bryan Herta.

- Tests on a dry lake bed with an auto writer.

- Also contains the original 2004 Chrysler Crossfire Commercial. The marketing angle is comical, the music is far from masculine.

In addition to the Speed test, I also have a 7 minute Crossfire review made by an English Auto Program. The name escapes me at the moment.

I also ran across an Ebay listing of a cutaway Crossfire body that was made by Karmann. I saved the photos which reveal some interesting details of what is going on underneath the beautiful surface of a Crossfire. Should I post these photos in this forum?
