Default New forum member and SRT owner

I am looking forward to checking in on the forum. I purchased a Black SRT6 a few months ago. What a ride. We instantly fell in love with the performance, and the looks, well what can you say. My neighbor owns an Acura NSX. He drove it and said that while he may get a higher top speed?, it would take quite a while to catch up to our SRT. He called it a rocket. I think this car will be in my garage for many years to come.

I guess the easiest upgrade would be the air filters. Should I use the rectangle K&N's, or will the conical filters fit in the air box. I can't think of anything else I would want to change except to add a decent cup holder. I'll get over it though.

What a ride!!!

Congrats to a fellow Black Coupe owner! *HUGS*

A rocket they are... The service manual shows rectangular filters, so I'd stick with those as they will seal just fine.

I'm probably one of the few who like the cup holder design, it's just the placement that sucks (in my opinion) and the lack of a second one.

I have a feeling that NSX could probably pull on you through a road course as those things really HUG the corners. Then again, if he said that the 'out of the hole' acceleration is there, it may be an even match.

Again, welcome and congrats...

Am I just being dumb?? Where are the cup holders, I can't find one anywhere, or does the roadster not have one??

~ it's in the center console area. an annoying pop up! many bump it with their elbow... poor placement.

some have replaced the cup holder with the storage pocket (found on base crossfire).

Cup holders are not the forte of the XF.

In England, wouldn't you be looking for the "Tea Cup" holder?

Regardless of what you all say... with the exception of one... I like the cup holder.

However, mine doesn't like to 'click' open until I've tried it 3 - 4 times...

Yes, a nice cup or tea.

I have an SRT-6 and it does not have one, it just has the bucket, not fair.
