Thanks for the info!

 

My TiVo picked it up as I had Chrysler as a watch-word.

Those of you who have TiVo should also start noticing a couple of shorts on your box about the Crossfire, also an ability to order the Crossfire CD-ROM.

 

Did anyone see the Crossfire roadtest on Speed channel? I saw it and it was pretty good.It had alot of track testing and a view of the assembly plant in Germany.

 

Yes, I TiVo'ed it and watched it last night. It was nice to see the car hit 145MPH on the AutoBahn and still so stable.

Also learnt something from the program, holding AutoStick to the left while braking, nice feature.

Can't wait to get my car back now.

 

Hi. I just purchased my Xfire and am loving it!

Saw the Speed Channel show a while ago. Anyone know if you can order it from Speed? Or know how I might be able to get a copy?

 

Hi prb4t...... Welcome to the forum!!!
That Speed Channel show is what turned me on to the car too.

Congrats! And enjoy!

 

prb4t - I saw parts of the speed channel episode with the crossfire and it was very complimentary, unfortunately speed channel doesn't sell copies of their episodes. If anybody has a copy, I would be interested in buying it (dvd preferred).

 

does what............. ?

 

Doing that will shift the transmission into the lowest effective gear when you hit the accelerator, improving your acceleration, skipping gears if necessary.

So for example, you come into the turn at about 75 in 4th gear. You hit the brakes into the turn and you hold the stick to the left. 40% into the turn, the vehicle is now at 35, you are ready to accelerate out of the turn, you apply throttle, the transmission will shift to 2nd and let you take off.

Most standard sequential gear boxes like the regular Chrysler one will just shift one gear down, so to shift to second from fourth, you'll have to pump the stick twice to the left and unless you know your shift gates well, you may still not pick the best gear for the RPM your engine is in.
