though honestly you'd be better off buying an SRT-6 unless you just wanted to be a unique pioneer!!
Don't discourage anyone.. I want to see crossfires advance, it is definately a car that should have been more from the factory! A v8 with a stick would have made it a much more popular car. But of course the lowly chrsyler cannot outdo its mercedes counterpart, as it would be detrimental to mercedes' sales. The v8 would have a totally different feel than the srt's supercharged v6. Torque makes cars more fun, and this motor is from a truck... My manager keeps telling me to put an ls6 into mine.. putting ideas in my head..
