LOL- I'm done. Gotta go to bed, this AssHat has to get up early. (Gotta go to Lids)


Good Times

 

Why not have Lids deliver you a hat!? After all, you own a mighty Crossfire all others must bow before you!

 

I was trying to end this on a good note... I'm not a big fan of phantom internet arguing. This is starting to drag on now.

My Lids comment was in reference to my "AssHat" Status.

Stay Classy Illegal.

 

Yeah. Obviously. And my "have them deliver it to you" comment was in reference to you thinking the Crossfire is Gods gift to automobiles. All other autos are inferior, and driven by girls.

When in reality its depreciated 50% of MSRP within a year of its production, and is sterotypically driven by old people looking for a way to get in touch with their younger side that died decades ago.

I can't believe you ACTUALLY referenced that a girl drives a Civic, so its a girls car.....when you drive a CROSSIRE. You must not get out much.

Stay dillusional, rodimus.

 

What is your obsession. I never said this is the best car ever made...

Your probably offending everyone else in the forum with your stertypes...

Sounds like you don't want your car......

Get over it, get a Civic and shut up PUNK!! This is getting quite annoying, so you keep typing the same thing repeatedly and I'll keep not reading it.

It has been very nice to meet you, you inspired me to order a Intake and ECU custom programming. I just ordered cloth seats, obviously you already removed your sued.

Your Pal,

Rodimus

 

Ohhh, so YOU can drop sterotypes on people, but I can't? Man, you really are better than everyone else!

I love my car. But I don't pretend its a Ferrari.

I don't want a Civic. I think I'll go buy a Crossfire Limited. From what I hear, its ok to put neons, lambo doors, loud exhausts and chrome accents all over them.

See, a 15 second Chrysler with all of that stuff, is TOALLY different than a 15 second Civic with all of that stuff.

 

I got your point dude.... I'm not arguing that. I was just messing around in the beginning, I don't know what is going on at this point.

Ga-Nite

 

if i had the opportunity/resources to own an srt-6 when i was 20, i would've hella jumped on it. instead, i had to drive a vintage mint 1970 MG-B. and no, i don't think i could have smoked any modded integras or civics with it.

it all comes down to weight/hp. veyron to hyundai, right? one of the points being, you're not really 110% sure when someone pulls up. i think there's an old saying that goes "you should find humility before it goes looking for you." be respectful then let her rip.

 

Wow.... this thread got out of hand pretty quick! And all from a simple question asking if there was a local SRT-6 that beat a VERY quick Civic...

Here's my opinion:

- I love my Crossfire, I mean, I sure hope all of you do, too, with the amount of money you paid for it!
- I take the good with the bad. The Crossfire had horrible resale value; but on the flip side, this means it's a great bang for the buck car.
- The interior is good, but it's not the greatest (it's still not MB quality, but it's a level above what I've had to suffer with on my American cars, and even some of my Japanese ones)
- The N/A xFire is moderately quick (unfortunately, there's stock Civics and GTIs that are moderately quick as well)
- The SRT-6 is quicker, but is still behind the 'Vette and a couple other cars in its original price range.
- The SRT-6 mods very well, but so do many of its rivals in its bracket
- This forum may know about the SRT-6, but nobody in the outside world does. I bet a lot of people think the SRT wing isn't stock, and that us SRT-6'ers are just ricers.
- While we may not believe them, we have to be aware of the stereotypes us Crossfire owners have in the outside world: mid-life crisis car, chick car (and even some of the more nasty stereotypes that a Miata has)
- Of course, this means that the SRT-6 is a sleeper in the outside world (hell, most of them mistake the xFire for a Sebring!)
- The flip side of being a sleeper is that nobody takes you seriously until you hit the gas, and even then they still sometimes don't take you seriously.
- "There's always someone faster than you." Similarly, "There's always someone with a more expensive/better/prettier car than you."
- We can say what we want about Civics being beneath us. Just remember that Bimmer, Lexus, and MB owners can say the same thing about us. To be honest, I'm always amazed by how accepting the MB forums are of our cars, because it would be very easy for them to be a lot more condescending to us.
- In daily life, comfort, fit and finish, experience, and reliability all matter.
- In a race (on the track or street, or whatever you want to call a race), none of that matters. Only who can pull ahead of the other car.
- I would not want to own a Civic. It's poorly appointed, common, plainly designed, and too slow for me stock. And modified, typically, it's still fairly gutless in the torque department, loud, rough, and uncomfortable.
- But in a race, I'll still respect any Civic that can keep up with an SRT-6 in a straight line. And whip its butt in the corners (this particular Civic is a Time Trial competitor, if you've heard of that kind of racing before).
- That doesn't change the fact that I wouldn't want that car in my garage. Respect and Desire aren't the same thing.
- There's plenty of people here for which speed is not a primary concern. That's all well and good.
- As long as when it comes to a race, where speed is the only concern, we don't use the same criteria.
- Vice versa for the people who home in only on dyno charts and power/weight ratios. Having nice, comfortable seats, a unique cupholder, and all of the tiny little features ("Rest" air circulation, 90 degree hood, unique cupholder, etc.) helps make the daily drive a comfortable one.
- While somehow I doubt that HDDP's ride is very luxurious, I'm pretty sure that even before his engine transplant, he could scare a couple SRT-6's on the right tracks.
- And because of that, I would LOVE to have his car, gutted interior, roll cage, and all.

 

Simma down na!
I repsect all cars that look good and are fast. I can't stand ricers that talk out of their *** though. That's when I bring out the Tundra and have some fun. The Crossfire is a good car but the depreciation of this car has really dissapointed me.
I have owned several hondas, loved them all and the resale was 10x better than the Crossfire. I really miss my S2000 at times. I have to say it was a little bit more fun with a 6 speed as opposed the auto in the SRT-6. I thought I got out of the Honda scene when I bought my SRT-6, but I just recently bought a 92 SI hatch with a 2000 JDM Type-R powertrain and it is a blast to drive. It's not a show car but it runs 13's and a nice beater to drive during the week.
I say get what suits you, drive it and enjoy it!

 

Interesting overview of a fast (track) Civic build.

Anyone want to guess how much $$$ that build totals up? Run across many $60k Civics on the street?
