Default Top 10 Reasons

Top 10 reasons for purchasing a Standard Crossfire over a SRT6.

1.Greater choice of exterior colors.
2.Greater choice of interior colors/fabrics.
3.More comfortable "over all" ride, or more compliant suspension.
4.Better gas milage.
5.Availability of a 6spd. manual transmission.
6.Possibility of lower insurance rates. (age related)
7.Easier to replace if lost or stolen.
8.Absolutely the lowest priced "NEW" sports car available anywhere.
9.Retractable spoiler/wing, option to drive with it up or down.
10.Majority rules.


Top 10 reasons to purchase a SRT6 over a standard Crossfire.

1.To win most Drag Races.
2.More desirable "Collector car" in the future. I.E. "higher resale".
3.Best flat out bargain in the performance car market, "Bar none".
4.Extremely rare/low production, "Exclusivity".
5.More "stable" handling on smooth surfaces.
6.More intimidating spoiler/wing.
7.More intimidating front end.
8.Possibility of becoming a "Cult" car, when finally discovered.
9.The "Whine" of the supercharger.
10.Bragging rights.

....
4.Extremely rare ..., "Exclusivity".
Seems to be different around my area, it's funny, since owning my Xfire I have seen 4 SRT6's, 3 limiteds, and only 1 base. ... Oh, and Zero Vipers.

Don't forget less mechanical issues!!

I'd still take the SRT over the std., but some of the headaches associated with the complexities of the SRT engine and trans. could be a hassle for some people.

I actually followed another Aero Blue SRT for about 5 miles the other day. I thought I was in the twilight zone...

I see about 3-4 N/A Crossfires a day.

I hadn't seen (or noticed) a Crossfire in at least 3 years till I bought mine in December.....I've seen at least 5-6 since then....never seen another Machine Grey Crystal Pearl though.

my main reason for getting a limited xfire is there is no feeling like shifting through the gears, its kinda like you feel the power better.

10.Majority rules.

If that were true, we wouldn't have G. Bush as president.

ouch.... fortunately majority does not rule all and we do/did have Bush as president... just hopefully the next ones won't screw it up any worse...


when it comes to xfire though... affordibility is a huge factor... plus its sexy as hell...

Wow thats surprising.. wonder where you are located, because its exactly the opposite i my case..

In my almost 2 years of crossfire ownership, I have seen at about 30 - 35 crossfires and only 4 were SRT-6s, mine, my neighbor's, and two at the dealerships...


Good List AMX
7.Easier to replace if lost or stolen.

thats pretty good one haha
