Lightbulb Quick question regarding Crossfire trivia

Hey all,

I just had a couple of questions with regards to a few things I've seen around the forums that I'm not quite familiar with.

Firstly, when I see the term "N/A" applied to a particular Crossfire, I go crosseyed. What does this mean? Are you referring to the first production year Crossfires that didn't have trim options, effectively making any trim designation "not applicable"? Are you referring to any Crossfire that isn't an SRT6 and is thus "naturally aspirated"? I'm so confused.

Also, I've seen this image floating around a bit, and I'm wondering; when/where was that engine cover available? Was it just in Europe? Is it an artist's mockup? I know on my 05 Ltd. Coupe, the engine cover is one solid piece of silver plastic, so I'm wondering if that was the only option.

Thanks in advance for the help.

N/A = Normally Aspirated ( NOT a SRT6 )
As to the engine cover, that IS an N/A engine, but I have never seen that particular cover. Interesting that it does have the Chrysler emblem on the front of it.
Anybody else know ? ( 180 ? )

THAT
isn't Crossfire Trivia - THIS is Crossfire Trivia:

Who owned the first V8 Crossfire in North America?
or
Who owned the most beautiful Blacked-out Crossfire?
or
Who is known as the premier V8 Crossfire builder in the Western Hemisphere?
or
What CrossfireForum member is known for his AWFUL record with women?


See what happens when I get bored?

I think this was the cover shown on the preproduction models at shows and in blurbs sent out to the press, potential buyers etc.
It also in this picture I posted in a thread just before the new year.

Other pictures in the series.

My scale model Crossfire has that engine cover. So it appears that preproduction full size and scale models have that cover.
