Default Chrysler Firepower!

Anyone see this new Chrysler? It's going to be priced $50-60k, 425hp, and based on the Viper chassis. It looks insane!! There's a few styling cues from the Xfire, and looking in the interior you can see the window switches are exactly the same! lol. Anyway this car looks so cool. Chrysler rocks.

It is in the new car and driver, est 1/4mi time is 12.7. Too much cash if you ask me. And no manual trans. Car has a 50/50 percent of making to production.

After reading the article.. I've love to get my hands on one. The interior is real sweet looking, lots of chrome, very futuristic.. The styling is hot! Hopefully it comes out right when the lease is up on my xfire!

Hell yeah. Look at that roof, its tinted glass.. how cool is that.. imagine having your Coupe with a see through roof.. Awesome... I love the front hood too.. I want something like that hood for my xfire.. Hah.. Let's all email Chrysler and tell them to make the car. BTW in the picture you can't tell it's any bigger than our car but remember it's based on the Viper chassis. That's whats so sweet.

Unhappy Re: Chrysler Firepower!

People said they wanted the CRossfire to be Produced but because DC changed alot from the original Showcar ,the sales didn't take off like expected !

I Hope they REMEMBER that mistake .

Does the glass have a curve in it just at the top of the wind shield? If it does, could you set your interior on fire on a sunny day?

Not too hooked on the back end of the car but I like how they did the Driver/Passenger windows.

That's an interesting idea! It might help to vent some of the heat that builds up under the hood.
