He said the guy who built the car no longer works for Brabus and if he did have any information about how it was done, they would not share that information. This was the answer I thought I would get but thought I should at least ask any way. I was suprised to hear that there was only one ever built. I thought mine was going to be one of three V8 Crossfires but I guess I am now building only the second one. I guess Crossfire owners weren't willing to spend money like Mercedes owners will, which is why they were never able to sell a second one. Knowing that there was a V8 Crossfire in existense has always given me hope that this could be done. I just hope Kanzus is successful in getting his to run. If he gets it running, Kanzus will be a hero in the Crossfire community!
You are right. There is only one Startech Crossfire 6.1.

Startech is a subsidiary company of Brabus. Brabus ist specialized in the optimization of Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Mercedes-Benz Mc Laren and Smart products, whereas Startech is specialized in Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge products. Both are located in the same company area in Bottrop/Germany.
