I just got back from my first test drive of the SRT6...WOW! There is a difference between the supercharged and non-supercharged cars, that's for sure.
The ride was only slightly stiffer, (but I was on some good roads) and I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It's much better looking in person, than in photos. IMO. But remember, I have a cedar and gray, (that I love) so everything else seem rather subdued to me.
Being an automatic, it actually "hides" how fast its acceleration really is. Shifting manually makes you far more aware of how fast things are happening around you because you have to consciously speed your reflexes up just to keep up with the engine.
The car I looked at was very nice, and I would highly recommend it to anybody looking for an Aero Blue coupe. I think anybody who offered 24k would probably drive it home.

 

There's one near me in that silvery-blue. I should go test drive it to see how much better it is. My mom wants a Crossfire and if the price is right I should convince her to get it. Also, this SRT has been sitting there since I bought my car and who knows how long it's been sitting there prior to.

 

Pretty awesome, isn't it? And to think that level of quality, performance and style will cost you only around $47K...wait a minute. For around $24K there is no other car that even comes close!

These cars are worth every penny of the original asking price. DCX blew it big time on this! They should have used the old Life cereal commercials "...try it, you'll like it..."

In this case one company's mistake is a new SRT6 owner's gain.

 

The SRT6 is the best deal out there...

 

The weather finally got nice enough here in Indiana so I got mine out yesterday. I had only put 1K miles on it before I put it up last fall and the only time it's been out is for a short test drive after installing the Renntech kit a while back. Man that thing is crazy fast, truthfully I shouldn't be turned loose in a car like that. You can't just floor it anything under 30 mph or it will bust loose, but I'm figuring out how to drive this thing. You have to slowly get into the gas just to the point busting loose. And just to make sure that Renntech took out the speed limiter.

 

Steve, and just think (on this forum alone) how many "Teenagers" are driving them.


I hope the young adults today are more mature than I was (and still am for that matter) at their age.

 

No kidding. I am still pinching myself after picking one up with 2,500 miles for $25k.

 

So the Renntech is worth it then? Did you pay about 3k for it?

 

Yes, I think shipping and everything was real close to $3,100. As for worth it, I'd have to say YES, it changed more than just h.p. & tq. It totally changed the way the car acted, shift points, how long it stay's in a lower gear to keep up the rpm's, really it acts totally different & AND I'M LOV'IN IT!

 

For under $2k I got an intake, exhaust, chip, pulley and tune for my '03 Cobra and went from 390 hp to 500 hp. I also got all the other changes you mentioned. For $3k I would expect to get a considerable bang for my buck.

 

I was after an '03 Cobra not far from I live, Those '03 & '04 Cobra's are monsters. I check out the SVT Performance site now and then, that's how I ran across the one I wanted. it was putting out around 670 H.P. to the wheels and was like a show car. I could have picked it up for $30K, but my wife said no way, a car like that without no warranty. I just couldn't talk her into it, so I thought to my self when I go shopping for a car to replace my leased Crossfire I would get the one she disliked the most. Just as luck would have it, a few weeks later I ran across an SRT6 for $29K brand new with full warranty and she hates Crossfires, sooo. As for the $3K, we're dealing in the AMG stuff here and everything cost about double of what you would buy for an american car.
