I went to a car show in The Woodlands outside Houston. It was called Import Reactor and was held on the top 3 levels of a parking garage of the Marriott. Now first things first, I'm 37 chubby white guy and I don't fit in very well but honestly, I had a great time. I was in the Euro Other class. The most fun was telling people about the car, kids going hahaha it's a crossfire. I would then say what is sitting on top of the engine? Then the whoas and ooo's and aaa's. When all was said and done, I was given 1st. The Bentleys and Lambos were nice but not cleaned and this was all about being nice and really clean.

I just wanted to share that I was out until 3:00am on a roof-top, spreading the SRT-6 love.

 

 

"hahaha, it's a Crossfire!" What? What's the joke? From what I know, SRT-6s have a ton of respect in the car guy world. Most "kids" like them too.

 

Easy now...
I spoke to over 100 people, some people knew what it was, most people had no idea. It's not a joke, 1.2 years, less than 3100 made worldwide. It's not like they are everywhere.

 

Congratulations... and I bet you had a TON of fun revealing the 'details' of your SRT6...

Cheers!

 

My comment was in reference to my surprise that some "kids" were laughing at the Crossfire. I'm just wondering what they thought was funny. Even if it was a standard Crossfire, I'd be surprised that it would be laughed at. So, that was my question. What was the joke? What is funny about a crossfire? That it's not a civic with plastic crap all over it? That it's a unique car? That it gets more looks than just about any S2000? That there are fewer of them than there are M3s? Just wondering what was circulating through their mis-informed noggins. I've had more unique, custom, semi-exotic cars than many guys my age, and I've never seen more mixed reactions than I have with this car. Very interesting. I purchased one because I am a car guy. Unlike most of the general public, I knew what I was purchasing. I watched the development of this car since the first prototype hit the show circuit. I had a feeling the demand would be small and that prices would drop. I gambled and waited. In the mean time, I enjoyed a brand new G35 Coupe 6MT. Well, I was right and now I have a car that I almost paid $47.995.00 for a few years ago. I even had my name on a waiting list. . I'm the one that should be laughing... all the way to my garage!

 

Hey that's great! It's always nice to spread the word about these amazing cars. The cars have had a little press the last few weeks as well. They did a segment on an N/A coupe driving on the Autobahn on Dream car garage last week. It was neat to see. Peter Klutt the owner of Legendary Motor cars was driving it at full steam 150mph. Enjoy!

Nice showing and thanks for sharing! It’s a beautiful thing that our cars can win standing still as well .

 

Congrats on your win! Sounds like it was a lot of fun.

 

Nice... Congrats on the win..

Crossfires are great and yes.. not alot of people know about them, hence I love mine so much.

Funny thing is, I was filling up at a station this weekend when a kid in a S2000 pulls up to the pump behind me. He looked at my car and said "Hey, thats a Chrysler right.. I heard its really slow." I just looked at him and smiled and said its fast enough for me.... As we filled up.. 4 people from the other pumps came and asked me about my Crossfire.. They never heard of it before. The best part is when this kid commented loudly.. "Mr. your car looks much cooler than that Honda there.." as he pointed to the S2000 and the other driver... I just smiled and said.. thanks.. they are both nice cars...

 

Looking good for Crossfires ! I always get more people asking what's a Crossfire !

 

Thats called tact. Even when we valet my buddies Ferrari in front of everyone else at the club we dont go around calling everyone elses car a piece of ****.

The s2000 kid would be really suprised when he got pulled 10car lengths by that "slow" xfire!

 

Most people that goofed at the car thinking it's a standard crossfire and it's not known for being a fast car. I set them straight. A friend has a Supercharged S2000, Saturday morning we played a bit and let's just say, he really like the rear end of the SRT-6.

It was an import show, maybe I should have just put stickers on the window, NOS, K&N, Flowmaster, BBS, 104 Octane Boost, Champion, TEIN. That would have drawn in the crowds

Really, it was a well run show and she got lots of love.

Now it's www.texasmile.com time.

 

H.K. Phooey, congrats on the win. It is obvious that you take a great
deal of care and effort with your SRT. So, cool, a show winner and a
bad a** beastie all wrapped in a single package. I suspect you are
rightfully proud.

I would have asked him if he wanted to test my "slow" Crossfire.

 

Is that you in the second picture? You don't look like a 37 year old chubby white guy.

 

Me

 

Is this the next Ashley? AKA AMA FIRE.

 

Yeah. Take it from me. I'm 15, and it's my first car... The simplest I can put it is... Kid's like them. lol. Everyone who has seen my car, there mouth pretty much drops. And then once I take them for a quick ride, the compliments and Oos and Ahhs are endless.

 

Here's my first car. Got it at 15. I still have it and I'm now 32.
