I love finding out more about these cars. and buying an SRT-6 is not a cheaper option for me. My father bought me my Crossfire. He told me he wouldn't get me an SRT-6. He said if I want to go faster, I would have to mod it myself like he did when he was my age. He told me "you don't buy lego sets already built cuz its no fun that way." I am also very sentimentally attached to #13437. Cars like that deserve respect, I won't just trade em around like nothing. My goal is to have it on Woodward when I am your age and be able to say it was my first car and I put time into it for 10 20 30 40 years. I'm sorry if my stupidity offends you BC, but I don't know where else to go to fix it. So right now I want a starter project and I am curious what is simpler and cheaper. V8 or AMG 32 swap? I found a great site with lots of great info and great pictures. http://www.slk32.com/
