I attended the Carlisle/Chrysler events from 2007 through 2019 with my SRT6 Coupe and it was noticeable of their negative feelings about the Crossfire, considering it as a Mercedes Benz, The RED HEADED STEPCHILD that Chrysler couldn't service, and Mercedes Benz refused to recognize.
This is a common scenario at other car shows as well....
Just my 2 cents,

Dennis, you may want to consider this event. Seems Crossfires should fit right in: 2024 Euro Festival
