man thats a tough decision... don't get me wrong I love my crossfire but if someone wanted to trade me straight up for a GoMango Daytona Charger I'd do it in a heartbeat..

the sweet throaty sound of a hemi V8, endless amounts of possible mods (and horsepower for that matter). not to mention the 4 doors and plethora of room...

mmmmm. I'm a sucker for Dodges tho.

1993 chevy corsica
1993 mercury capri conv
1995 mercury sable
1994 mustang conv (for sale)
2001 Audi TT quatro conv
2006 Audi A4
2005 srt-6 conv

I must add that many srt-6 owners here are not into european styles... did you guys buy this AMG Mercedes because it says Chrysler on it?... trust me none of you would've bought the Mercedes, not because it's more expenssive, but because MB will never appeal to you like MOPAR, FORD or GM

I traded a 2001 Sebring convertible LXi for my SRT-6. My Limited replaced a rusty '96 Chevy Lumina sedan.

I've had quite a few cars over the years...Here's a few of interest

2004 Murano - traded for my SRT6 - cool SUV, but the CVT concerned me
1991 Audi 200 20 valve Turbo Quattro Avant - a stick shift station wagon with an attitude...149 of them were shipped to the US

in past years
1967 Jaguar XKE fixed head coupe
1959 Porsche 356 convertible

too many Volkswagens to list

Hi shawn
You won't be disappointed they are a great fun car to drive. My M COUPE was a 0/60 5 second car. It was only a 250 hp inline 6. In 2001 they upped the hp to 318. That was the last year the m coupe was built. This was the 2001 m3's 330 hp engine, but because of exhaust restrictions in the m coupe they could only wring out 318 hp. Who knows maybe another m is in my future. Have a nice day. ILLCYA

The M Coupe is still produced, it just follows the lines of the Z4 now, not the Z3.

I have only seen two M Coupes in my area - one was the Z3 style, and one is the Z4 style - both of them are awesome. There is a sweet video on youtube call M Coupe Chase Video or something like that. It really shows what they can do.

from the looks of it most people on this forum didn't buy the crossfire for it's mercedes backing, as few people have history with those cars... other than that it seams this is the fastest car most have owned as well with a few exceptions...

I really like the crossfire and am very happy with the decision I made, pays to do your research heh..

ttosrt6 ... I can honestly say it was the CAR that drew me ... not the brand or label...

It's Mercedes Benz engineering didn't hurt though...
