Considering an SRT-6, hard to be objective.
Considering an SRT-6, hard to be objective.
Hey Gang,
I'm new to this forum. I'm considering buying an SRT-6, I have always liked their styling. Didn't know there was a supercharged version, until recently. This car seems to be a steal. I currently have an '06 mustang gt. I don't like the big car handling and the fact that everyone has one. I previously had a 2003 350z and tired of the first year car issues. I do miss the stiff ride and performance handling of the 350z. I test droven a regular aspirated crossfire, steering not as precise as I was used to and the brakes seem a bit nonresponsive at initial depression. How does the SRT compare with the 350z handling? Also, I am a bit concerned if I don't get my hands on a SRT real soon, I'll be pressed to find one in say 3 to 4 months. I do have to consider selling my gt prior to getting my bank loan for the crossfire. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Haywood!

My G35 was the 6MT with the 298 hp engine. I bought it brand new. It was a nice car, but the engine was an oil burner at 10k miles. I knew 20 others with the same engine that had to have them replaced. Mine was next. Nissan is working on a recall apparently. When I drove the SRT6, I nearly soiled my shorts. I wasn't expecting that kind of power. It is the only car I've ever scared, er, surprised my self with. It is gnarly fast!!! Good luck with the search.

I just got mine with 40 miles on it from Suburban Chrysler in Mn. I dealt with John Sands, the dealership was excellent. They had at the time a black SRT convertable inside on the showroom floor. I believe it was $32,000. I was going to buy a convertable originally but my wife really liked the coupe, and to be honest I think the coupe looks a little tougher, plus it was way less expensive. I believe that was the first time in 21 years of marriage she actually made a decision that cost me less money. If you can still find a low mileage one I would jump on it.
Re: Considering an SRT-6, hard to be objective.
Im proud to announce that I am the owner of an SRT-6! I picked it up this weekend at Carmax in Tuscon, about a four and a half hour drive. It is a black coupe with 16,700 miles. I paid $23,599. I know there are some others out there that are a lower price and less miles, but I'm happy with my buy. Carmax performs a 125 point certified inspection. I noticed on my test drive that the tire pressure monitor was lit. They checked it promptly and replaced the sensor. They gave me the old one back. The tire flat kit was also missing. They are ordering one for me and mailing it to me in about a week. Man Oh Man, this sucker can move!
thanks to all of you for your comments and advice. Merry Christmas!!

I would not lose a whole lot if I needed to sell it (at least I think).
Remember, there are more than twice as many coupes and the roadsters always go for more $.
