Now I knew that there was loss between the crank and the wheels, but I thought it was about 10%, giving us 190rwhp and about 300rwhp for the SRT's and 500 v8 swaps, but no. A 5th of our power disappears. My father is a dealer that frequents auctions and there is a 1994 Dodge Viper that is damaged and brings 8k every week. I could probably get it for less than my Crossfire is worth out there, about 10k. I thought this was a fast car when I bought it and it is my favorite looking car, but I would never have bought one if I knew then that the Crossfire was such an underpowered, impossible and expensive to mod, NIGHTMARE!
What is with the people who come on here, and bee-itch and moan about how the Crossfire isn't a Dodge Viper, or Corvette, or Toyota Supra, or whatever car they really wish they owned?
Buy your damned Viper, and do whatever you want with it, and sell your Crossfire to someone who will actually appreciate it.
