The STARTECH Crossfire is no more...T-Boned. On the prowl for an SRT-6
Re: The STARTECH Crossfire is no more...T-Boned. On the prowl for an SRT-6
Actually wouldn't hurt my feelings.. but this is what MAYAman was looking for I do believe.. Guess he'll have to sell me that rear spoiler since this is a different model year and probably won't fit...

Re: The STARTECH Crossfire is no more...T-Boned. On the prowl for an SRT-6
Getting my check tomorrow. Have been thinking about a couple of things.
A. I have been in communication with a couple nice gents on the boards about their SRTs. I may go this route. about 18-19K for what I want.
B. I have been thinking about a V8 swap into a low cost high mileage 6 speed coupe or roadster. What is the cost of this swap? I'm not looking for some crazy supercharged AMG monster with 550hp. Just a normal 300 to 350hp V8 from Mercedes will do. Will the car gauges still work? Will it behave like a normal Crossfire? What are the dangers?
thanks, please be as descriptive as possible especially about price.

Black SRT6 Convert, High Mileage, Automanual, Descent Price
Black SRT6, Pretty Low Mileage, Automanual, REDUCED Price
SSB SRT6 Very Clean, Low Mileage, Automanual, GOOD PRICE

Guys, I have gotten some messages from people stating that the 6 speed in the Xfire is not reliable and that it pops out of gear if you accelerate hard? How many 6 speed guys can attest to this. Is the 6 speed garbage? I really want a manual car, which is why I haven't pulled the trigger on the SRT yet. Please be as detailed as possible how the 6 speed feels? Quick shifts? Nice click when shifted into gear?
thanks
thanks

LOL I know. I'm looking at high mileage 6 speeds for Rudy's V8 swap. Or an SRT. Haven't decided yet, need to see if I can get a 6 speed for the right price. But the tranny popping out has me concerned as to the quality of the tranny in the 6 speeds.
If 50% of 6 speed owners hate it.......................hmmmmmmmmmmm

I wouldn't call it a quick firm shift but it is a fairly short throw with a smooth solid engagement.
If you are looking for a "Rockcrusher" with a good Hurst shifter feel, you will be disappointed but all in all I am happy with it IMHO

Search is over! Price is alittle high it's clean SSB SRT6 less than 10,000 miles in PA...

Maya I think a 6spd and a V8 conversion are going to be pricey as I'm doing a V8 AMG conversion now and it's a hard mechanically, time consuming, pricey project...let alone the 6spd tranny and install will run u 5 figures...i would stick with a clean SRT6 and mod it just my .02 cents

I have an 04, mine has never popped out of gear, never grinded gears, never a problem with it at all. Which is why Im going to throw a hundred horses more to it 
... Ultimately I want to supercharge or turbo it but thats when Ill need a custom flywheel and a spec clutch. I may need the clutch sooner. Dont know, the people who have thrown massive amounts of power behind the 6 speed arent around to talk about it long term.

They fixed this issue in December of 03 I believe, any with a build date later than that should not have this problem. Mine was built in dec 03 and I had it pop out maybe 5 times under 50K miles but hasn't happened in the last 30+
