Default Re: Who has the highest mileage on their SRT6?

Man, this thread makes me happy. I was beginning to feel bad seeing that most of the posts on here were from people with 4 digit miles on their cars and I thought maybe it was a bad thing mine is being driven.

For a while there I thought I had joined a Ferrari forum!

If it is any hope, there is (or was) a week or two ago, a 2004 regular Crossfire on A/T with I **** you not... 175,000 miles! They still wanted like 6 or 7k too.

My car was purchased with 24k a month ago, I took a big leap because I traded my 2002 M3 convertible for it. I always felt something was wrong with my M3 because no matter HOW HARD I tried, I could NOT break nearly 7 seconds 0-60 in that stupid thing. I was beginning to think maybe the magazine road tests claiming 5.4s 0-60 were under specially controlled conditions with light drivers (im no lightweight for sure) on a 40* day with two fingers on the dash and one leg in the air. For sure I thought I just sucked at driving.

Just now I was on an average empty city street and was able to come close to the advertised 0-60 time of this car with *no* problem and no particular skill at all from a dig. That put a smile on my face. I'm not the one who drives this car every day (I usually drive my 7 series) so it was a treat.

Anyhow, for issues... I currently have the waterlogged trunk compartment vacuum pump and corroded harness issue, my passengers side power seat up and down mechanism doesn't work, and my rear end whines at just above 30 and just above 55mph. Ironically, the most annoying issue by FAR was the damn noisy trunk latch... I still bless cgocifer's name very day for the 50 cent electrical tape fix on that one.

Unfortunately, I think I'm the only person on here with a battle scar I was parked downtown one day and someone barely nicked my rear left wheel well corner. It is just barely visible and no pedestrian would probably ever see it, but since there are small creases there is no easy fix other than a repair and repaint. Hurts my pride in the car a bit.
