Hello,

Just purchased a used SRT6 with 3,600 miles. All is well so far. Car is faster than I thought it would be. I have been a Mopar collector most of my life. I have always wanted one of these. At least it is part Mopar!

Thanks


Jim H

Now that you have the car get familiar with it by reading about it here on the forum.

Well, if you collect Mopars, you will appreciate this little car. Not many Mopars that will stay with it, with just a few little mods....enjoy...

Congrats on the purchase! I'm a fairly recent SRT-6 convert myself and don't regret my purchase one bit.

Thanks to all for the welcome. These cars pull hard and are relatively quiet, but any car guy/girl can hear the distinct supercharger sound. My nephew worked at Mercedes in Birmingham, AL. He knew that if I drove it I would buy it! He had a roadster and also visited the Mercedes plants in Germany quite often.

I have had low 11 second street cars that were faster in the quarter, but ran out of gears after that. The SRT keeps going! I think the looks alone could break a neck. I am very satisfied. Best kept secret in the automotive industry in my opinion.

James,
I'm not sure if your SRT-6 is stock or not, but if you love the sound of the supercharger whine, I highly recommend getting a cold air intake. One of the first things I noticed after the install (besides the increased power) was that you could really hear that supercharger go much more than before.

Yes, I have monitored the modifications listed on this site. I think I will do the mods as a package someday. This is such a low mile car that I might just cruise it on the weekends for awhile. The black ones look so sinister!

Holy Bejeezus that's some low mileage! You got it in my favorite color too. Where in heck did you find such a low mileage example?

Just curious what you paid for such a clean low mileage SRT ??
I understand if you choose not to disclose any info though.
Also ...was it owned by anyone here on .org ??

Congratulations !!!

I don't mind. It wasn't cheap. 20,500. CARMAX of all places. It was listed in the LA area. I had it transferred up north to the Sacramento area to look at it. I thought it would be all dinged up, but it is immaculate. One owner, non smoker. Kinda makes me wonder what price she sold it to CARMAX for. It's all good for me though. I had no idea until I read this forum of how big a laugh the cupholder is lol.

James, are you already a member of Capital City Mopars? You probably know we have our annual show in your back yard at Hagan Park.

I was teasing some of the members with '60s big block cars, telling them my displacement was half theirs and I could still smoke any of them. You should have seen the nostrils flare. All in good fun, and my roadster is a big hit because nobody else in the club has a Crossfire.

Welcome to the forum and the permagrin club.

James,

Welcome to the forum! You do already know that this is a great group, and lots of info available here. I know you are already loving the car. Can't say whether I'd seal it up or drive it; probably drive it. I have a high mileage (by Crossfire standards) Roadster, with just over 81K miles now. I haven't followed the SRT specific items, but the car can look and perform just as good as new for lots of miles. Don't be afraid to enjoy it. I drive mine every time I have an excuse.

Again, welcome.

Michael
