Make your hood open 90°? New different gas support?

 

There's a button in back of gas support, push it in and push up on the hood.

 

I find this feature to be so amazing!!!

 

Thank you!

 

I showed this to the Crossfire tech at my dealer. He uses it everytime I go in for routine maintenance.

 

now that's cool rt there....

 

Huh ??? Just shows to go ya, hang around this site long enough, ya just might learn something !
I never knew !

Just my Dos Centavos !

 

The pisser is that this feature doesn't appear to be in the owner's manual either. Consider it an undocumented feature.

I too learned of it from this very forum at the time I purchaced my Crossfire. All cars should have it.

 

It's even more amazing that if you drive the Crossfire with the hood in the 90 degree position at the advertised 150 MPH, the hood will go all the way to 180 degrees.

 

I am letting you chuck65 try it first

 

ive seen a few pics of crossfires with the hood like this.. i never knew mine could do it too! i thought it was some mod they had done to it.. very niice, i like!

 

A word of warning. If you ever break down on a two lane highway (with a 55 mph speed limit), you may not want to use this feature.
All it would take is one fast movin "semi" (going in the opposit direction) to catch your sail and pull it right over on top of the roof.

 

Wow.....all this over a hood.

Just wait till you 6-speed guys figure out you can shift without the cruise control turning off!

 

Yeah, that's cool isn't it.

 

Something new to try on the drive home from work. The cruise control thing, not the "driving with the hood at 90 degrees" thing (although it is supposed to be 90 degrees here today).

 

it is for land sailing when run out of gas.

 

Personally, I think that's one of the slickest features our cars have.

Well.........some of us have!

 

hey, someones doors do tht too....what's that all 'bout? they open 90 degrees actually doing it to my kids Mitzi...lambo doors...don't know if I would like on the XF....

 

Once you train yourself that the Cruise control lever isn't the turn signal.

 

boy, now that take awhile...but I got'r down now...no more cruisin' to turn....
