Default Wanted ... Crossfire Videos

My idea is to compile all known Crossfire related videos onto DVD and share it with fellow owners via this forum. I would be willing to compile the DVD and make it available to someone who would be willing to distribute it at cost (a couple bucks plus shipping should do it).

I already have two road tests of Crossfires that aired on Speed Channel. Are there others?

Back in 2003 or 2004 I managed to videotape an episode of Speed Channel's Test Drive Series (or shall I say infomercial) on the 2004 Crossfire. I cannot remember if it was by accident or not. Anyhow, I saved it.

If it has never been discussed in this forum before, I would like to make it available to anyone would be interested in sharing it. I've converted it to an NTSC DVD.

The program was a half an hour long and dedicated entirely to the Crossfire. Highlights are as follows:

- Tommy Kendall Hosts

- Ride with Tommy as he drives 150+ mph on the Autobahn. Tommy claims that "its the fastest he has ever driven a street car". The stability at that speed is amazing (to me).

- A brief look at the Karmann Plant showing Crossfires being assembled and tested on the 12 point simulation rig.

- Tests on a Calif. road course with Bryan Herta.

- Tests on a dry lake bed with an auto writer.

- Also contains the original 2004 Chrysler Crossfire Commercial. The marketing angle is comical, the music is far from masculine.

In addition to the Speed test, I also have a 7 minute Crossfire review made by an English Auto Program. The name escapes me at the moment.

I also ran across an Ebay listing of a cutaway Crossfire body that was made by Karmann. I saved the photos which reveal some interesting details of what is going on underneath the beautiful surface of a Crossfire. Should I post these photos in this forum?

There are some Crossfire videos on YouTube.com. The infamous Top Gear tests, etc.
There is also a Chrysler sales video for the crossfire that someone on the forum put on DVD a couple of months ago (buggy4crossfire maybe).
Good idea BTW.

I have the Speed Channel Test Drive SRT Special on DVD. It features entire SRT Lineup, including the SRT-6. Tommy Kendall of course hosts and reviews them. There are also a couple of big name race car driver's that test them on this show as well. I'm not sure if this is what you have or not. If not I'd be happy to rip a copy and send it to whoever wants to compile these videos.

you'd want to find the originals. if you're going to capture blurry You Tube videos and dump them on a DVD...you may as well dump them on a VHS tape. not worth the trouble, IMHO.

I remember watching the Crossfire installment of Test Drive and since buying my Crossfire have been looking everywhere for it, to no avail. I'd be happy with a copy of this alone on DVD. imabenz, what do I need to do to get this from you???
