One of the best XF reviews I've seen.
I have a copy of this with my original dealer sticker and owners manual.

I loved how they knocked the SRT-6 pretty bad on the road course and yet it kicked a$$ in the end! Gotta love it! Of course they are comparing normally aspirated cars to the blown SRT-6. Anyway, fantastic find which I am keeping with me! Gotta love the power of the SRT!

I love this article. It's one of the reasons that I bought an SRT-6.

I had never seen the article - thanks.

Noting that it's from 2004, I would think a used SRT6 is an even bigger value today than the Z or the Porsche. I doubt the Porsche can be had for $20k.

This was the article that got me interested in the Crossfire - was going to get a boxer - then read this - did more research on the Crossfire - found this forum and the rest is history. Would have done an SRT roadster - but wanted the cedar interior.

Probally the best endorsement for an SRT6 ever. I read it earlier but lost the magazine. Thanks for your discovering and yes I did email it to myself. LOL.

You're very welcome all... and yes, this article did it for me too. Always wanted the SRT since I completely liked the naturally aspirated ones.

Goes without saying, please share if anyone has more interesting reads..!
