If you didn't know that I was a noob to this forum.

I've been looking at a pair of 2005 SRT6 Crossfire Coupes. They're still brand new with the window stickers in them.

I was wondering if everyone here could help me answer a few questions:

#1 Are there any recalls/things I should know/TSB's that are mandatory for these cars?

#2 What kind of mods are available and how much do they typically cost, what kind of performance value do they offer?

#3 What kind of fuel does the SRT6 require, I'm assuming 93.

#4 What price should I beat the dealer down to on the price of the car? Its sticker'd at 47k new, but its almost 3 years old!

Thanks!

 

#1 - Nothing mandatory, but make sure they run OK. There are some issues with the intercooler water pump (not everyone has had the issue though).
#2 - Mods are few, far between, and expensive. Renntech makes an ECU and Pulley upgrade that costs $3,295 and gives you around 50 more HP (I believe). Other than that, not much.
#3 - Premium, whatever that is in your area. Here it's 93.
#4 - There are some advertised on this forum for $27,999 (new). We've seen some down around 25k though.

It's a heck of a car, especially for the $ nowadays.

Good luck.

 

#1. Intercooler water pump, E19 module.
#4. A couple of people paid 24k, title and taxes included.

 

Thanks guys!

Do K&N filters do anything for the cars? What about if someone put cone filters on the ends of the stock intake boxes?

 

1. There is a recall on the Radiator fan you should know about... it is a cheap and easy fix, but if you fail to fix this your engine will die... I bought my cat and it did not have a radiator fan broken but after about 3k miles it broke and I immediately replaced it..

2. Renntech ECU / Pulley = about 45-50 hp costs 3k.
Speed Innovation ECU / Pulley / SL55 Intake = about 50-55 hp costs 3.4k installed.
those are our primary choices... I am sure you can do some work on the exhaust, headers, camshafts and all that and get more out of it...

3. 91 Octane is perfectly fine... if you do the ecu modification I would suggest 93..

4. You can probably pick up a new coupe at about 26k...

 

Well K&N filters are a double edged sword... they let more air in obviously increasing performance, but letting more air in also means a noticeably dirtier engine... Cone filters will not make any positive effect and probably not make a negative effect either... maybe change the sound of air entering the engine, but that is about it...

I've been curious about how the engine gets it's air when the supercharger is not engaged, can you expand on your statement? I'm not much of a K&N fan, but since my SRT6 will not be in any dirty environments I put them in my car after installing the Renntech kit thinking I need to give her all the air that I can and also figured it would probably give me a few more pony's.

 

How would you know the radiator fan is broke? Wouldn't the car just overheat? I here mine go on just as it almost reaches middle. It's actually really loud which I thought was unusual. Then I never hear it again, but it seems to stay around half or just over half on the temp gauge. I also run water wetter too which didn't help at all really...

 

I haven't made it to the club yet...I'm still trying to get the dealer to come off of their 33k price tag...

Who sells pulleys besides Renntech?

I saw someone mention in another thread, luggage, do these cars come with luggage of some kind?
