Default Looks from other drivers

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen. I was just curious. When yall are driving in your Crossfire what is the typical reaction you get from other people? As I drive i always notice people checking out my ride, as they only made these for a few years I think alot of people dont know what type of vehicle this is.

Also, whenever I am driving I seem to always get these knuckleheads who want to pull up next to me and want to race. Do any of yall get this as well? Just wondering.

Thanks, Isaac

The way I drive, I need to pay attention to my driving. I have no idea if other drivers or passengers are looking at my car or not.

i get comments at restaurants on my Aero blue coupe. That is a beautiful car. Is it new? I say "no". It's beauty is timeless. A cat set to pounce. gary

To be totally honest? I don't get a lot of reaction out of other people around here, that I've noticed, while driving around. I did have a conversation with a couple of people while waiting for its emissions testing though. They both said they thought it was a really nice car, and the guy said he wanted something like that for a long time, but his wife would never let him buy one.

I get stairs on a daily basis and alot of people asking what it actually is. The most surprising reaction came only yesterday from the most unlikely source, my local Chrysler dealership. LOVED it.

yeah, that sounds like what i get as well. what i dont like is when i get off of work at 2:30am, there is a club along the freeway on my way home and there always seems to be drunks on the freeway and these are the ones i try to avoid. i will either slow down and let them pass or i will move to the other lanes and stay away from their crazy driving.

Ya, the xfr gets looks all the time for sure. I like to see the smile of people as they see you coming and you can sometimes see them talking to themselves as you get closer. Just a few days ago I was driving to work through the park, in the 70kph zone and the car behind me sped up to get right on my butt, and the passenger leaned out the window to take a pic. You dont see these looks for a camaro or mustang unless they're really special. These kind of reactions I've only done and seen with exotic cars. 2004 Silver Blue 6spd Coupe. Annnnd....Loving it!

I have noticed that my car is a real hit with the car wash folks. They race to see who get to drive it in. They get the seat set for them and like to put their elbows up on the window sill and be cool. And this is just to move the car 5 feet up in line. Used to annoy me that my seat was in the wrong position but I have learned to live with it. It seems to make them so happy that I just can't bring myself to grump at them.

My favorite was the guy who pulled up next to me at a light in a droptop Porsche, gave the car an admiring look as asked what it was. I told him it's the same amount of fun he has for one tenth the price.

I went to the lumber yard the other day and the kid coming over to help cut a 2x4 just says "you know I hate you for driving that thing back here"... I then spent the next 10 minutes listening to him saying one day maybe he'll be able to afford one to which I kept trying to interject they're pretty old and cheap these days...

Good story. I was thinking to myself, what if Chrysler still made the Crossfire. What would the new changes be to the car? Im sure they would have some changes here and there. Anyhow, I guess we'll never know. What would ya'll change to improve the looks?
