Default Stupid question time...

I see "NA" used frequently describing Crossfires.
What does NA mean?

NA = Normally Aspirated, as opposed to SRT6, which is Super Charged ( SC )

All models are NA with the exception of the SRT6's

Beg to differ. There is nothing ordinary about any Crossfire. Just because it's not an SRT6 doesn't make it ordinary. They are rare, unique and wonderfully crafted cars whether they are supercharged or not. So, I'd say a recharacterization is in order:

NA = Extraordinary
SRT6 = Superextraordinary

I disagree as well.
6 speed NA's are fun to drive ALL the time. SRT-6's are a bore to drive unless you have them floored.

That isn't true.... There are a host of cars that are fun to drive. NA's aren't rare when close to 80K were made over the 4 yr contract. SRT's are limited in number, but not rare either. Anything performance based is fun to drive in an exciting way. Just enjoy your ride whatever it might be....

Yeah, that's why all the Ferraris and Paganis, etc. now only have autos available. Tell me they are not fun to drive!

Not a problem since all my cars only have a two speed accelerator pedal: ON/ OFF
