Ok so im an ex-owner of the na xf,and upgraded to the srt.what really gets me is how anyone could even compare the two.of course the na looks great,is stylish,a great car and is a great value.but for some to say the na is even in the same league performance wise on a mountain course or otherwise is absolutely absurd.ive driven both hard in straight lines and through very curvy roads.the extra hp combined with the beefed up suspension which creates less body roll would make short work of the na xf.i would gladly prove it to anyone that has the na and is up for the challange.now i will not stand here and say the na guys or gals as a whole have an inferiority complex about their na,but its very clear that some do.

 

I have a feeling this is going to be a long thread!!

 

OK you have the better Crossfire.. Are you happy now?

 

I'm taking my n/a and going home.

 

I've owned both - and they are/were both great cars - My Limited was flawless - the SSB paint job was just awesome.

What I thought I was not going to like about the SRT turned out not to be true; the spoiler, rims, seats etc..

I feel that the Limited was at it's best from 50mph -130mph

The total cost of upgrading to the SRT was only a few grand and there were no mods to be had for the Limited (at that time)

I have no regrets on both of them. But I do feel like the Limited was going to last a lot longer and offer more trouble free driving for years and years...

I had my 04 alabaster auto-cpe 4 years and 70,000 miles I enjoyed it very much for every day driving.
Got my SRT6 last year and had to put shocks (koni) for an adjustable ride so as to enjoy on these crappy So. Cal fwys. I like the auto wing vs the fixed one better and the srt6 radio is a little better BUT BOY no comparison when you want to blow off a Porsche or Corvette not too many are going to show me up 0-100 mph. This car goes especially with this new Code3 SC pulley. I would still buy another LTD but might first look for another SRT6 when the time comes.

 

dude we understand you sell that pulley. you mention it in every post.

 

Yep. One of the primary reasons that us old guys, who don't know sh*t about sports cars, bought the N/A. Hard to spend $6,000 on mods or even repairs on social security.

This is to be my last 'bought new" car. Sucker needed to be well built, reliable and fun to drive. Both do 150+ without losing control. I'll settle for the 5 or 10 seconds longer it takes to get there.

Spent plenty of time in fast cars from a 365 HP 60 chevy, 57 T-Bird, 69 cuda, 82 TA and a European powered 420 sel Benz that cruised flawlessly for miles at 140MPH with room to go. Oh yeah, the '65 454 Olds Hurst shifter f-85.

No inferior issues here.

Franc,

I knew a guy from ST. Louis would have an Oldsmobile in his past! LOL. I currently have a '66 F85 with a 455 in it.

 

Oakland build?

You have my envy and my repect. Don't let the rust devil beat you in the rocker panels.Keep that very special bird flying.
When I refer to the F-85 to a newbie, they often ask, " a Jet?' I answer , "Well sort of."
Those cars were majic

Dude, many of us are so tired of your sales tactics!!!!

BTW, do you sell those eyebrows color matched yet?

 

"Oh I love my Conti's"

I would too if I was that slo........

 

Is that your resume'? wow im impressed, you kept up with the "senior" member pace,maybe next time you can go against this "forum regular" it might be a different level of competition for you. i just hope i wont have to wait 4 months to prove it!!!! respect!

 

This thread still going? Man, it must be a slow week.

 

It must be nice to sit and watch life slowly pass you by in a NA crossfire....

 

Yeah, CP3, CP3, wait wrong setting.

I have both models and drive the N/A when I want to go slow and conserve gas . Bring the SC out when, in the words of Ricky Bobby, “I whan go fast” .

 

I personally am very happy with my na Crossfire and 14.78 at the track yesterday was fine with me.
Never raced at a track but had a good time.
