Re: WOW - Crossfire on the Top Ten List!
A few months ago the same magazine (Car & Driver) wrote an article something to the effect of the least expensive and best 300HP used car available. The cars they identified included early NSX’s & BMW 850s and 8 other cars. I am subscriber of C&D and truly enjoy their articles and when I received the above I thought (and probably hoped) that the SRT6 would be listed. Needless to say it wasn’t. The point in this posting is that (in my mind) there is a fine line between being the “most affordable 350hp German manufactured (Mercedes Benz lineage) coupe” (ie., SRT6) or the “Biggest automotive flop”. I think we can all agree that flops mean great values and SRT6s certainly qualify. I have also posted on here that a guy that works for me is a true “porschephile” and currently owns a 2005 or 2006 Boxster but is truly amazed at the performance and build quality of my SRT6 at the price I paid ($24K for a “brand new 2005) - literally $15K less than he did and I have about 130HP more (along with larger tires, brakes) (granted - doesn’t steer as well etc., not a car comparison posting). Just my $.02.
