I have a 2005 base coupe that I bought new in 2005. I took a 300 mile trip with my cruise control set at 70 MPH (the speed limit is 65). The speed limit goes up and down during the trip and I adjusted my speed. I never stopped once. Trust my word.... I left my house and topped off the gas tank and set the odometer. I drove 300 miles and topped off my tank again. I divided the number of miles driven by the number of gallons I put in the tank to top it off. It came to 32 MPG. You don't believe me that is your problem. I don't lie and I don't need to prove myself to you. But there are others here in the forum that have gotten 32 MPG out of their crossfires. I will admit... normal driving conditions on the highway of slowing down and speeding up with traffic only got 28 MPG. But the best I could do under perfect driving conditions is 32 MPG.

I drive 100+ miles per day in my daily driver SUV. 50 miles to work in each direction. I don't drive my crossfire as a daily driver anymore but the few times I do drive it I notice a difference. When you drive an SUV each day and you get in the crossfire you can feel the power and handling.

 

I believe ya.

Nice old thread. I wouldn't think that little wing would help until you get in the 80+ range but I am sure there is an engineer on here to correct me. That means my big old wing is killing my fuel mileage...I am going out to the garage right now and take a saw's all to it....damn wing...

 

I doubt if it's "killing" ya mileage Doc, but I bet it might cost a 1/10 or two at the drags.

 

I'd be happy with 24 mpg...I drive 120 miles round trip everyday and they are all highway miles. The best I can get is 21 mpg...I prob avg about 70 miles an hour,

 

you would have to tell me that....lol

 

GT, Sports car, GT, Sports car------blah blah blah. You guys call your's what you want, my Crossfire, Looks, handles, and goes faster than anything I have owned in my life of driving(too many cars, and at my age, I dont remember half of them.)

I refer to my 2005 limited black coupe, as a--SPORTS CAR !!!!


PS since I have never been able to afford a Audi, 800 series, a Mercedes, SLK, Porsche, (and these next three, I cant even spell,) Ferarri, Lambourgenie, and Masaratti, my apoligies to all my Italian friends, hell, I cant even afford a new Corvette. I was able to afford my '05 Crossfire, Sports car, though.

 

Give your wing a circumcision

 

I can DEFINITELY relate. I, too, have a garage queen. I bought my '05 coupe in April of '09 with 2,850 on Ode. 2 years later, the Ode reads 8,310. Yeah, I need to drive it more....

I bought my 04 in 05. I drive it everyday that I don't ride the motorcycle.
I stll enjoy it. It puts a smile on my face. To me it is a fun sporty car that is reasonable to drive. I restore classic mopars for a living. We put cars together with lots of hp that are not as drivable as the simple crossfire.
It may be a dog off the line but it makes up for it in other areas.
Bla Bla Bla ok I'm off to go paint a cuda. Wish me luck.

 

Nothing wrong with a garage queen. I've put 75 miles on mine since November 12, 2011. All on November 13. LOL.

I just came from the garage after detailing the underside of the car. My wife and I love the Xfire.
