I just saw a Crossfire advertised for sale with the SRT Design package? What is that exactly?

 

It might be a base model with SRT wheels front bumper, I don't remeber what else was changed or differint but they were called Special Edition.

 

Found more info:

Unique to the base Roadster was an optional Special Edition package (2006 and '07 model years) that included Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat exterior paint, Dark Slate Gray cloth seats, SRT-6–style cast-aluminum wheels, a black windshield surround and satin silver door handles and side louvers.

 

The product of a Dealer's over active imagination I'm thinking.

 

Chrysler started that package on the 300C, poor choice IMO.
Never existed for the XF.

 

The SE was a base XF with SRT6 rims. Nothing more. They must have ended up with an over run of the rims and figured to stick them on a few bases and jack up the price.

 

I'm still waiting for the dealer to post pictures to confirm this mystery package.

 

Hummm, yes they did. I've only seen one. It had "SRT Design" embroidered in the seats in the same location as the SRT-6 emblem.

 

So that makes it official OEM?

 

From a Chrysler blurb for 2006 models.
"Models
Chrysler Crossfire is offered in five performance-focused models—Coupe, Coupe Limited, Roadster, Roadster Limited and SRT6 (see Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 description) plus an added specialty package for 2006, the optional Special Edition package available on the Crossfire Roadster model.

• Choice of either an automatic or manual transmission
• Exclusive Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat exterior paint
• Inside, Dark Slate Gray cloth seats

Pulled right off a 300C.

But someone is in a "state of mind" so..... nevermind

 

my 2006 SE. I bought it new in wrap. Put in leather power seats, dash kit, badge and trim. all removable with no damage gary

 

Nope, not that one. The one I'm referring to is a red roadster.

 

A while back (maybe a year or two) somebody posted a video ad (here on the forum) of some "flim/flam" car dealer who installed some SRT Design emblems on a Crossfire. (I believe he put em on a Chrysler 300 as well).
Everybody got upset over it, and made fun of it, and I think either the Moderators, or the original poster removed it. Because I can't find it anywhere.
Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if the same "SPECIAL EDITION" SRT Design emblems didn't wind up on some other Crossfires around the country. Whether it was done by a dealer, or a private individual.
Embroidered SRT Design insignias are only an upholstery shop away.
I don't believe "ANY" SRT Design Crossfires were ever produced by Karmann of Germany, or were authorized by Chrysler of America.
Personally, I see nothing wrong with adding an emblem or two to your car to make it stand out, or just look different from the crowd, if that's what you want to do. After all, it's your car.
So little is known about the Crossfire, that it's pretty easy to pull the wool over somebody's eyes with these cars.
I've actually had (more than couple) Chrysler Salesmen ask me what year did they start putting scoops on the Crossfire. Last weekend, a former Chrysler technician approached me at a custard stand and asked me when did they start producing the Crossfire as an AMX.
It's all in good fun, and there's no intent to defraud anybody so what's the harm?
On the other hand, when a dealer tries to misrepresent a car and pawn it off as something special from the factory for monetary gain, then it's a whole new ball game.

 

There was one at Carlisle this year I didn't look at the seats so I'm not sure if it had SRT embroidered on the seats and no SRT Design badges.

 

The special edition crossfires with the SRT-ish rims and black window surrounds and red body color do not have any SRT badging. The one I know of on the forum that has one is user "theoneandonly"

Those are the only ones I know of that could come close to SRT design crossfires. Other than that I don't know of any SRT design.

The SEs' don't have SRT embroidered on the leather either.

 

Thats because the seats are cloth

 

touché salesman, touché

 

That was our roadster SE at Carlisle you can see it with my cute wife in the members
