bump for the newbies

 

Thanks. That summary captured my thoughts pretty well. I'm in agreement, except I am happier with my 6 spd and deployable spoiler.

 

Lot's of mods availible now for the SRT that just move it up to a true screamer

 

pelked1 hey this is the only way i could figure out how to get ahold of you pm me if you could i see you had your door panels off how do i go about getting them off on my car without breaking anything., thanks

 

I don't know how many times I can see in the rear view to the couple behind me (usually @ stoplights) and I see their hands motion up and down and I know exactly what they're talking about, the active spoiler. All the people that compliment me on my daily driver usually don't know the name of the car (even though it's plain as day on the rear) but most of them ask me something to the point of "Is that that car with the little wing that pops up?" as their hand motions while speaking. I'm sure that you guys encounter this as well. I even had on lady in Annapolis ask me "Who makes that car? I see Chrysler on it, but who makes the Crossfire?" I gave her the benefit of the doubt seeing as how she was elderly, even though I had a smart@$$ remark ready for the asked-then-answered question...


Oh well... What can you do?

Women, can't live with them.... Can't shoot 'em.....

Great read! This really is helping me make a decision for which Crossfire to go with. Very informative forum, another reason to be excited for Crossfire membership!

 

Thanks for bumping this up from 2 years ago. It was great reading it and I'm used to driving a stick all the time and I'm always using the autostick instead of leaving it in 'D' to make me feel like it's a stick without using a clutch. Besides, using the autostick allows me to hold the revs a little longer to enjoy the exhaust note.

 

With this new supercharger pulley I installed last week it really shifts snappier too. That extra boost and 40 lbs of torque feels perfect.

As for the ride being 40% stiffer I fixed that 1st with koni shocks it now rides better than my lowered '04 coupe ! As for gas mileage about 3-5 less overall. Only wish they made SRT6s in Alabaster. I'm glad they only made 2,000 srt6 coupes !

 

I usually give'em a lil show, hit the wing up button on the dash and watch their reactions in the mirror !!!

Just my Dos Centavos !

 

Yes, thanks- a great post.

I am/was thinking about buying a SRT...

I'm not sure if you can buy new Crossfires in Canada these days but I know from having searched that used SRTs are few and far between. Those available are about double the price ( both coupe and roadster). Since I bought the LTD because it was 6 speed, I'm convinced by your experience with the auto stick that I should stay with what I already have - which I already love Thanks again.

 

bump............

 

nice, keeping the 4 yr old thread alive lol very good review, i can see that there are compromises when choosing, but both great cars!!!!

He's a mod, they can get away with it.

 

Anyone can revive an old thread....
We don't discourage this at all.

 

Never read this one before. Thanks for the bump. I thought the original comparison was great and when I decided to by an NA coupe instead of an SRT those were in fact may of the things I thought through with similar rationale as to why I opted for the NA coupe -- ride, wheels, mileage and the option for the 6 speed manual. I ended up getting the autostick because I drive in alot of traffic and I my dealings with a manual under those conditions forced me to go with the auto, and I don't regret it (although if I get a second one I hope to get an manual). I'm also not a fan of the SRT fixed spoiler, although now that I have the auto deployed one, I've been thinking and hoping someone might come up with a good mod fixed spoiler for the NA -- that would be different than the SRT, but offer a similar look to it as a fixed spoiler. As far as the wheels, I love the NA wheels. My other car has wheels that are a pain in the *** to clean and while I love them and they look great, everytime I have to clean them, it adds some serious time to completing the job. Suspension is a no brainer... NA is friendlier for my driving needs ... and even the NA suspension is tough over some of the roads I travel, but the handling is great. Power.....NA is fine but I know I'd love to have the extra of the SRT!!

No matter.... I love my Crossfire and want a roadster now too. But I still have 2 kids to put through college -- with one starting next year so it will have to wait.

 

Well, I love my Crossfire ROADSTER and now want a COUPE, too!

(Stay tuned, everyone.)

 

I'm gonna go revive EVERY Pizzguy thread...

 

Love the SRT6, the very aggressive spoiler , the wheels are great, they do not look like a factory

wheel, install low dust pads cleaning no problem. Bigger brakes great, Auto stick, love it, its a blast to

hit the go button and just hold on, love the sound of the sc and the performance/speed. The ride, i got

use to it .

One of 2016 srt6 coupes every produced very exclusive. Most people don"t know about the srt6 xfire.

I would not have purchased a xfire if the srt6 coupe was not available . I wanted a fast car that looked

fast and could back it up. And not break the bank !

The srt6 fit the bill for me ,a very fast, unique great handling car.

This car can scare the **** out of me at times, in a fun way

I would not want a xfire as a daily driver ! To hard for this old fat man to get in and out of!! But if i

every lose weight look out. The na or srt6 are both fantastic cars, that have some great owners.

 

As for the gas mileage, when I'm just driving mine and not trying to be crazy I get 21mpg in town and 30\31mpg (70mph interstates) on the hwy all day long. It is a 6 speed stick.
