Man, that is too cool. If Chrysler would do a "mas macho" styling upgrade like your hood and start making Crossfires with the 250+ Hp 3.5 DOHC M-Benz motor (like the entire rest of the M-Benz line-up) They could sell Crossfires without heavy discounts, keep 'em in production for a few more years and Karmann could avoid some of the massive layoffs they are facing with the loss of Audi A4 cabriolet production. This seems so obvious !
This seems like a no-brainer ! Audi continues to update/upgrade the TT.
If Cerberus serious wants to compete in this segment they could easily do so !

Slim, Wow, thanks for the "props", I'm glad you like my hood.
I don't know if it would help perpetuate the "Breed" for another couple of years or not. But I do think it would have been cool to have seen something like it on the SRT's. Like the old "Z" cars from the past, there really isn't that many visual aids to differentiate the "supercharged" cars from the NA variety. Oh sure, every Crossfire owner knows the difference, but the average "motor head" really doesn't have a clue. (But I would suspect most 350Z owners no em at a glance by now.
side note: I've been approached a couple times at gas stations, by people asking me if my car was a new SRT. One guy even asked if it was the "new" SRT with the "BIGGER" blower. (I must have missed that press release).
