"In 2005, Chrysler released the SRT-6, which featured an advertised 330 horsepower and 310 ft-lbs of torque. Those performance numbers were later found to be false. It is believed that Daimler-Chrysler did not want the performance of the Crossfire to appear to be equivalent of the 2004 Mercedes SLK32 AMG, which sports the same motor, especially when the Mercedes cost several thousand dollars more. The specs for the SRT-6 were found to match the 2004 SLK32 AMG at 349 hp and 332 ft-lbs of torque. That power was delivered by an AMG hand-tuned, supercharged version of the standard 3.2 liter V6.
The SRT-6 also featured a stiffened suspension, larger brakes, a fixed rear wing, and designer alloy wheels. Other small details differentiated the SRT-6 from the other trim levels, such as SRT badges and SRT logo embroidered suede/leather seats & custom front end.

The SRT-6 was mainly produced in 2005, with approximately 3000 of them coming off Karmann's production line in Osnabrueck Germany. (2016 Coupes & 928 Roadsters.) The 2005 SRT-6's were available in Aero Blue Pearl Coat, Black, Graphite Metallic, and Sapphire Silver Blue. There were only three options available on the SRT-6: color, tires and nav system. A buyer could chose between high performance (summer) tires and all season radials. Also they had a choice of standard audio system, or the audio system with built-in GPS navigation.


A very limited number of SRT-6's were sold as 2006 models. Only twelve 2006 SRT-6's are believed to exist, but that number is unconfirmed. It is believed that these were special production cars some with specialty paint, and were not intended to be sold. Some of the 2006 SRT's are known to be Chrysler company cars used for testing, promotions, reviews, and marketing purposes. One is known to have been in Auburn Hills, MI for marketing use - taken to shows, driven by magazine columnists, etc." Chris (a seller on eBay)

(Not my words {except in the blue}, but I agree with the above info & think it is a Good brief summary for the Newbies.)

I heard the 06's were slower...

Semper Fi on memorial day.

Give me one for Chesty! Hoorah!

 

Hey Abe,

Hoorah!

BTW, you may be right, I heard mine may have been Dead last off the Line. (Can't be much slower...........than that! )

 

Gee Bill, that sounds real familiar. Did you get that from WikiCars.org? If so, I wrote it! LOL. I'm glad to see someone read it. Nice paraphrase work. Would you mind going over to WikiCars and cleaning up the SRT-6 page? I'm sure there's some stuff there you could "flesh out".

 

SF,

Great info for the newbies. And not bad as a reminder to those of us who are fortunate enough to have one of these little beasties...

 

Hey Tom,

No I got it from Chris on eBay (as noted above) is it your copy?

Take a look:

I liked it & thought it would be a good post, with a little massage.

My Best,

Bill

UPDATE:
Hey Tom, Just looked at WikiCars, it looks like Chris massaged it & then I massaged it again! Sorry, I didn't know it was yours, but I guessed it had to be someone who is on this Forum for some of that info! SF

 

Either way, a great write-up guys! I've tried to get my wife to trade "up" to one of these beast. But she says "no, I like my red and watching the spoiler go up". She also doesn't care for the big fixed wing on the coupe.
But then, she jumps at the chance to drive my SRT. Go figure

 

Don't worry about it, Bill. I just thought it was funny. Plus anything on WikiCars is public domain. I didn't write the whole thing anyway. I did the part about Styles and Options.

Actually, I think it's pretty cool to be quoted.

 

When did 928 Roadsters change to 938 Roadsters? I missed the discussion. Where did that data come from?

 

Mitch,

My error, I'll change it back to 928, however, we don't know if the 2006s are part of that number or not, but that was not my purpose.

Thanks for catching that!

Bill
