Has anyone noticed or tested, the diffrence at the drag strip with and with out the spair tire and all its goodies. Faster times, or slower times because of no weight back there and no trac.

 

You're joking, right?

 

I hope he is......

 

Dropping the spare tire isnt exactly an option, how about some SPARCO race seats.

 

everytime I race it's without the spare and as far as I know most of the forum does the same thing. It really helps a lot I've dropped my 1/4 mile times by almost a full half second, but I have a series A spare there is also a series B that weighs half as much and it's pretty rare so you should check to see which you have.

 

I went out to find my spair tire, no spair, i went to the dealer also we looked everywhere, all we found was a small compresser 2lbs,and a tire inflater 3 lbs but the spair, is not anywhere to be found, LOL

 

Really? WOW! Thats amazing! Who knew our cars dont come with spare tires!

 

Spare tire? Go look...

 

My other crossfire has a spare - you can barely see it in this picture but it's there, back behind the gas cans... (see picture below)



When I remove it, the front end stays on the ground a lot better...

 

....that actually doesnt look too bad.lol

 

Now 22" spinners would be DA BOMB!!!

 

Thanks for the reminder. I'm going outside right now to check my SRT-6 spare tire pressure. Should I take a tire gauge? Squirrel Crusher

 

the spare has a built in gauge remember, you just have to make sure the battery is charged, but even if you don't use the gauge it has the tpms sensors so the dash light will come on.

 

That's no way to treat the newbie !!!

 

your right so lets tell him the truth ,,,get some grease and lube your universal joints,, the ones at the rear of the tranny and at the in front of the differential,, on the drive shaft. you know they need it every 10,000 miles, did that explain it ok. jim

 

Be sure to drain the blinker fluid to save on weight.

 

So I suppose it's not in good taste to share the technique for changing the spark plugs on cylinders 7 and 8, or how to access the back seat?

 

LOL ya'll give him a break... now, maybe he has a little spare in his car!!! LOL behind the backseat!!!! Sorry couldn't resist.....

But really he may have a spare ... a small one, but a spare...read on here somewhere you can get a Mercedes spare that will fit in the hatch... those temp tires...

Bless his heart.

Poor guy, hes never even looked back there. He just thought it was like every other car and has a spair. But the crossfire isnt like every other car thats why people stair and look twice when u pass them. Its a rare breed, thats why i love it.

 

My 6 came with a spare when I bought it.............the previous owner had a M-B E Class 17'' doughnut sitting on the floor in the hatch.
