It will make the bastard car list though. Better to drive and enjoy them as much as you can. There have been a few SRT6's coming out of collections with very low miles that are bringing average prices. I hope I am wrong...because mine aren't going anywhere now. I had that feeling to unload them again, but that feeling has passed. One more mod is coming.
I don't totally agree with this statement. Sure they aren't comparable to a lot of the higher end sports cars (like a Jaguar F type or equivalent age BMW M for example) but Z 28 Camaro's, Challengers, Mustangs etc were as common, if not more so than the Crossfire in their day and look at their prices now. As a result, even less desirable stuff from that era is starting to fetch more money. I'd be very surprised if in 10-20 years the SRT at least were climbing considerably. I personally rate the Crossfire highly and have only driven one once, but very much enjoyed it. As a result I'm saving up to get an SRT next summer to enjoy it. I can't see the values going anywhere but up from the near future onwards.

My luck led me to an expert in your club that steered me in the direction of value if there is any. My luck found a 2006 SRT6 Coupe in the rare Machine Grey. A quick look at your handy statistics showed me that it is 1 of 47 SRT6 Coupes made in 2006. I saw that only about 6-9 actually made it to the US and only 2 were Machine Grey. 1 of those was shipped to Puerto Rico. I have the other one covered in my Garage.
I love this Car.
Like other things I have collected that are no longer made. Value is in quality,numbers produced, and condition. I have to keep this one original. Now I can look for a 2005 just to play with and learn. They are cheap considering what you get in good looks and performance.
Totally agree, great post. God now I want one right now!
