Re: will it move on 22's?
Punctuation would be nice...
I've cleaned it up so you can actually make out what you said because it gave me a freaking headache.
You people are funny as the speed sensors are on the front wheels hence the problem with the dyno. Secondly, who said I was going with 22's all around?
Johnny angel eat my *** you're scared to touch anything [you] piece of $h!t. You say all of this but have you done it? What experience do you speak of as far as lifting the car and cutting out the fenders? My factory ride height is stock in the rear. Do you only know of the rims on tire rack? I have a true staggered fitment unlike the fake stagger from the factory.
It has been said "to each there own" and if your saying i'm putting money into a **** car doesn't that mean you drive a **** car too??? Johnny please come to the dragon. Did you ever think some people do thing just to prove they can be done?
Why isn't everyone going ape **** over latannatx putting a v8 in his? mad props for having the ***** to attempt it man! It amazes me how many people come out to attack someone here because they are doing something a lil different, true its been done but have you ever heard from anyone that it even rolls? i will be driving mine somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 miles to the dragon.
Who cares about how soft the ride is to return to the same comments fired at me its a german sports car! It's not a sports car its a coupe the srt6 is a sports car as these cars are too heavy and don't have enough power for me to call it a sports car, do you call a Miata a sports car? I call the new Mazdaspeed ones sports cars but not the regular ones.
They do make light weight 22 x 9.5 rims specially designed for Mercedes and BMW's staggered fitment that keep a sporty look... I could go on but I'm really pissed right now i expected the regular jerks to come out but this is a bit much... I didn't realize that this forum had so many closed minded people that were all so ready to just jump on here and bash me for going a step up. I thought some would love to know what offsets work best what tire sizes and so on. Oh and about the heavy wheel comments go take one of your stock wheels off and weigh that they might as well be made of lead wow you people really can suck...
----------------------------------------------------
I could really care less about what you do but you did state in your first post a question on "will it move on 22's" and then stated.
If that's saying you aren't going to put on 22's then I don't know what more you need to do, other than pictures, to say that you are. Do what you want but if/when you blow an axle don't be surprise someone saying "I told ya so".

There was a fatal wreck on the interstate near where I work when a Tahoe lost one of its 24" wheels in the front. The truck went out of control into the median and flipped twice. The wheel came off with the hub assemble still attached. The ball joints and tie rods completely let go from stress.

Newer SUVs with big wheels are engineered for them or they wouldn't offer them as optional equipment. The Tahoe that I referenced was an older one. I had it happen to me when I had 40" Super Swampers on my old Bronco. Spindles, Axles, Bearings, Tir Rods and Ball joints aren't meant to support that much unsprung weight.
This thread is spreading bad vibes like cancer, I'm out before I say something I'll regret.

Re: will it move on 22's?
I never said you couldn't do it. You said "will it move on 22's"... I therefore presumed you meant 22s all the way around. Pardon my ignorance.
It IS a sports car, regardless of the power to weight ratio of the base and limited models. It's a 2 passenger, independent front and rear suspension, 4 wheel disc brake, 55/45 weight balanced sports car. There are different levels of course. As to how it compares to a Miata, just ask Mike-in-Orange about that.
I wish you the best of luck with your modifications and was only trying to help. Those that give you crap about this... ignore them.
Cheers!

Re: will it move on 22's?
cgocifer, I must disagree with you.
My Crossfire is just a luxury coupe to me.
You mention some fine cars, but unless you have driven them you will not know the difference. Some of the cars I have owned or driven include: Elan, Europa, Spyder, X 1/9, 240 Z, TR250, TR6, TR7, Spitfire, MGB, Midget, Zagato and one very special 1950 Porsche... number 109 of 200 of the first year US imports.
I would never think of pushing my Crossfire to the point I could push any of the above. None had the horsepower the Crossfire has, but all could use what they had much better. Especially the mid-engine few.
Today's sports car definition is far different from the past. There are only a few cars made in the past decade that I would consider true sports cars... Miata, MR2, S2000, most non-SUV Porsches, Lotus', Vettes and all exotics.
irwin, let me see what it looks like on 22's
