Was doing some Web searching on Crossfire and found this old article on Edmunds.com, I wonder if this writer bet money on his statement that this car will never happen :lol:

Forget about the 275HP, I want the EVIC :wink:

 

Well, they never did really produce the car that was outlined in that piece, so maybe he was half right. They redesigned the vertical headlights to horizontal, and the lower front fascia area, added parking lights, took out the split windshield and starter button, and lowered the HP. So maybe.... But what they did come up with is still pretty nice to look at.

And mouserider, on the question of mods to my M that made it go faster. Added duals and that helped, but what really put the speed into it was adding some racing stripes. Had to be worth another second or two. lol.

 

Ah, the power of stickers and decals, each square foot does add 1 HP

 

You got it!!!

 

But you got to be careful with those HP draining stickers like "My Kid is an Honor Student", you never know where those are hiding.

:lol:

 

Actually on the concept.....it really didn't have a split front windshield.Instead it had a single windshield wiper which in the off mode stood vertically up the window...giving that impression.

From the Chrysler mag Spring 2001 edition, I quote: "No pushmobile this: It's a fully funtional runner that could eventually go fender to fender with a Boxter S...the efficient performance solution was a European-style small displacement V6 with a screw-type Eaton supercharger dialed for 8 lb of boost... High mounted blower and long water tubes resemble what might've been found on a blown flathead V8 in 1950 or so--minus the carburetors of course...
"As you drop into the two-tone leather bucket, the first thing you notice is that the windshield is divided in the center by a metal spine that supports the rearview mirror and houses the drive system for the central wiper...
