You are suffering from the impatience of youth right now.
You want instant results. You can't have them for this car.

You need to decide if you want to play with this car, or if you want to drive your car.
Right now.

Daimler Chrysler did NOT build this car in order to set 9 second quarter mile times, or to outrun Porsche 911 GT3's on the Nurburgring. This car was not built to battle with Corvettes on the drag strip, or to win pole position at Watkins Glen.

It was created to showcase what Chrysler and Mercedes Benz can put together with their existing technologies, and design teams. To let us know that these two companies can build great products together.

It is not meant to be changed from its original design.
Mercedes products are not meant to be altered, and I am sure they prefer it that way.

You want to tinker with your car, buy a Subaru, or a Mitsubishi, or a Camaro, or a Challenger. You can change every single aspect of those cars, its cheap to do so, you can add or increase turbo until your mind explodes. That's what they were meant for.

The Crossfire was meant to be a show piece.
Nothing more.

You are taking this way too personally.
Chrysler didn't design this car to torture you, solely.
You were at least two years away from getting your drivers license when this car hit the showrooms. You are NOT its target audience, and are at least 25 years away from becoming its target audience.

But now, here you are.
Waist deep in Crossfire parts.
Frustrated and sick at this difficult to work with car.

You've seen what other people have done with bundles of cash, some talented modders, and infinite patience. You have to learn patience. You are 20 years old. This is going to be the hardest, yet most important lesson you will ever learn in your life.

Once you learn patience, you CAN do ANYTHING in life.

Now is definitely the time for you to learn this lesson.
We have been telling you for the better part of the past year to learn patience, but you have yet to hear us fully on this topic.

You need to stop thinking about the future, and concentrate on what you have, right now.

Finish Project A.
It is almost complete.
See what you have.

Then, start thinking about Project B.

Learn Patience, and all will come to you in time.

BC.
