Everything in your Crossfire is either Diamler or Karman. The only American part involved is the contract you signed when you bought it. And the paper for that was likely produced in China.

You can use the Autostick to rev it to 5500 rpm's (I thought it was 6k, but it's been awhile since I've driven a limited). It's all about learning how it works, and then working with those limitations. Remember it's an already outdated version of autostick.

Currently if you're ordering a new Ferrari 458 you can't get it with a stick. I don't believe they'll make one for it either. Anyone ever see an Enzo with a stick? No? well that's because they didn't make a stick for that one either. This isn't because customers wouldn't buy one either.

I honestly can't wait until I can get a car with Porsche's new transmission the "Doppelkupplungsgetriebe". This thing is just awesome.

The SRT doesn't have a stick, and unless you've got really deep pocket's it won't have one. My advise, learn it, play with it constantly, and you'll eventually figure out why it works the way it works.

 

You have to have a serious desire and ability to overcome obstacles to modding the XF, but when done correctly, you can have a seriously cool outcome....



Although, I may be a little biased

 

yeah everyone just keeps their cars stock on this site. why would you want to mod your car, it is perfectly fine the way it came from the factory.

i did try to add vtec to mine and i mounted a big wing on top of my wing but it kept falling off so i gave up. now i just drive mine stock and just accept that is good enough.

YO MAN I HEARD YOU LIKE WINGS SO WE PUT A WING ON YOUR WING SO YOU CAN HAVE DOWNFORCE ON YOUR DOWNFORCE!

 

I think that most people mod their Mustangs, Camaros and ricers because, except for the mods, they are driving rather common cars. The Crossfire is hardly common, so mods are often more about personal preferences than trying to be different from the crowd.

The production numbers are rather low for the Crossie. So aside from their unique design, they are already statitsicaly uncommon.

Hence the lack of a plethera of common aftermarket mods available to make them different.

mrphotoman - if you look at your signature photo from the right angle - you can almost make out the coffeecan aftermarket exhausts to go with your double wing

 

i was using foldgers cans but switched to chock full o nuts, it gives it a little better sound.

 

lol, this thread got funny really quick.

never go wrong with xzibit poking

 

I have had some pretty trick auto's in my day...so, I don't have a problem driving me auto with anyone....besides, anything more that 4 gears is just wasteful....lol....

 

You could be right Doc.

After Eurocharged reworked my engine I found I didn't really need fifth gear. So I put it up onEbay but got no bids.
Amazing 'cause it's still in the box.

Automatics today are not the fragile, tender and finicky slushboxes of the fifties and sixties. Nor are they the lightweight emergency solutions to fledgling front wheel drive systems from the eighties and nineties

The auto stick in Crumpy's minivan is a silly bit of worthless machinery with a pretentious label on the dash board. The auto stick in her SRT is awesome!

This from a guy who hates automatics.

Auto/manual debates in regards to modern cars always puzzle me.
I feel that it's similar to the anti FI (NO MAN U NEED MORE CYLINDERS TO BE FAST IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST UR TURBO IS IT ISN'T THE SAME!!!!) crowd.

I like whatever gives the best results. Sometimes FI on a smaller engine is faster than an old fashioned bigger one, and these days auto is almost always faster than manual.
Yes, you may lose some of the 'boy-racer' fun, but at the end of the day you'll perform better, so who cares?
