NO! Actually with enough time and money I suppose it could be done, but there is no way it would be cost effective.

Sure. I'm working on a project right now to put a XF body up on a F250 with 42" mudders. I had to chop 18" out of the frame to make it almost fit. It's going to be the coolest, meanest, mud bogging XF in the world.

Tech-9, it's really funny you should mention this. Last Saturday night my Wife and I visited some good friends near here who just happen to own a 2005 Mercedes 4-matic. It's his wife's car and she loves the way it drives, (especially in the winter). She use to have SLK with the supercharged 4 cylinder.
Lookin under the 4-matic hood, it seemed to me like the whole thing would drop right in a Crossfire, we even discussed the swap.
I'm not a "4 wheel drive" kind of guy, but the Subaru and the Evo guys sure seem to love theres.
If you could pick up a salvaged Merc 4-matic, and a very high mileage Crossfire for next to nothing, it might be an interesting swap. One thing for sure, you'd have the only one.
Remember, they laughed at the Wright Brothers too.

i just converted my limited crossfire to awd turbo. total install time was around 4.3 hours and you will need a flathead screwdriver, roll of ductape, 1 jar of pickles and a shoestring for the install.

results?

691.3whp

0 to 60 in 1.2 seconds

1/4 mile time: 5 seconds at 199mph

You know, if you lowered that by about a foot, put some lower profiled tires on it you'd have a good looking car.

You pooped in 22.1 seconds? That's got to be a world record. Obviously you didn't poop a bono

Are you asking him if he gave himself an enema?

Wow we've kind of gotten off topic. I have a All Wheel Drive Crossfire SRT-6 in Forza 3. Fast little bugger too

LMFAO..... No, not an enema..... but a quick spray off before putting new pants on might be in order.
