I don't think that all base models were black. The Special Edition roadster was Inferno Red and it was essentially a base model with just a few of the other models perks. The satin door handles, the really good looking version of the SRT-6's wheels (with gray painted surfaces between spokes - unique to the Special Edition), bright pedals (later models), & the available Autostick 5-speed. But I think you could get a base XFire in just about any color that was available from 2005 thru 2008.
