Hi Guys,

Just wanted to pass along the results of the weekend. I represented all of the Crossfire owners out there due to being the only one in the show. A while back, I posted that I was preparing my car with hopes to be accepted into a high caliber show that was based on an invitation. I had to apply by sending information on my Crossfire along with any accomplishments with pictures. I was not told until Thurs. that I needed to bring my car down first thing Friday morning. It was a good thing I spent close to 60 hours during the previous four weeks preparing. Most was going over it relentlessly with scratch remover and a paintball. Believe it or not, this is more effective than the Porter and your typical compounds. Anyway, this was an indoor show with approximately 150 cars in various classes. I was in a class with some nice cars including a pristine Prowler and a new Challenger SRT-8. It was a three day showw and by Saturday, over 5,000 people attended. It was a judged show by a panel consisting of about 6 people.

To my surprise, I won 1st place during the award ceremony. It was neat to say the least. You were called up on the stage as they showed a picture of your car on the big screen while they talked about you and the car. It made all the hard work worthwhile.

There are many people out there interested in the Crossfire and they had tons of questions. It was funny to see all the people really having a hard time figuring out what the car was as I have the badges removed.

On a side note, there was a husband and wife team there showing four Vipers. Believe it or not, they have 23 with two on order of the factory receives 200 orders due to them being closed down.

Steve way to go would have like to have been there. Keep us posted when you go to another show Maybe some of us can see you there!

 

fantastic, post up pics of the car at the show!

 

This was the Viper collection. One was from the Batman movie which was custom painted. The white one is an ACR.

 

Wow, way to represent Steve and congrats! Get some pics up of your car from the show when you get the chance. Excellent job!

 

Great Job buddy! Congrats

 

Woo hoo! Sounds like fun, way to go!

 

Thanks everyone. I will try to post more pictures tonight. There were some exceptional cars there.

 

Congadulations Steve! I am eagerly waiting for those pics.
This part of your post caught my attention as a detailing fanatic. Can you give us some details and instruction on how you accomplished your prep.? I am always struggling with polishing paint and especially paint touch up trying to keep my cars looking like new or better. Is you Xfire a daily driver as well as show car? I would like to take my coupe to some local shows if I could get it looking "show ready".

 

Congrats Steve....the hard work obviously paid off !!!
Looks like they had a Spiderman Viper there too or at least it looks like the "Spidey" logo on the hood of the black and red snake in the back ground !

Congrats again !

 

Huge congratulations from the UK! Well done, mate!

 

That is just fantastic. Congrats on just raising our values single handed.

The Viper plant is starting back up again, good news as it is one excellent car.

 

Great job of keeping the crossfire alive!

 

Nice job indeed.

It's nice to see our cars getting a #1 spot in something that's not "worst looking" or "least selling" car lists. LOL

 

Way to represent Steve! That is awesome!
