In preparation for our next driveSRT.com Photo Challenge, what's the longest caravan of SRTs you've driven in? Hope someone snapped a photo.

Remember women are behind most things........
OK - couldn't resist. I was there when the video was shot and no one identified themselves as "Yanksmell". Rob I recommended you to Adam and am glad it worked out. I asked Chrysler management to help us with the Crossfire some time ago. They asked me to help with the history section on the DriveSRT site. Adam is the reason the video was done, he is truly a nice guy. The SRT Chrysler management and Adam @ DriveSRT are working to reach out to Chrysler/Dodge car owners and clubs. Remember Daimler and Cerberus let the Chrysler/Dodge brands flounder, but things are looking up. I wish I owned an SRT6 but the siren call of Classic Yellow wailed and I didn't resist. -Ann

 

Thanks again Ann.. All your efforts are greatly appreciated.

 

Nice article, thanks for posting

 

Well, that was short-lived.

Yeah, it appears that the site is now purely just for marketing new vehicles.

 

Lame as hell. I feel teased.

 

Yes, I noticed this the other day as well. I just couldn't understand why they would remove the section of the site describing the SRT stable of heritage vehicles. If nothing else it was a cool resource for current SRT owners that probably brought traffic to the SRT site, which they already have the content for! I liked knowing that SRT was proud to represent the lineage of its brand proudly on their site. I agree as someone else said, this is a "lame" move (or perhaps simply an oversight?) on the part of SRT. IMHO, any effort the brand makes to stay connected with current SRT owners will only encourage such owners to think about considering to stay in the SRT family in the future, instead of opting for one of the growing numbers of "performance" classes of auto manufacturers.

 

Agreed totally, especially when the SRT-6 was one of the the fastest vehicles the SRT lineup offered.

Perhaps they axed the page because it was fast for all the wrong reasons... SRT bragging about the AMG powered Crossfire is akin to someone recanting how amazing their ex wife was in bed. True as it may be, it still stings a bit.

Speaking of multiple marriages, at least Chrysler has an investment in J-Lo's Fiat.

 

That is certainly one possibility. But at least in watching the videos posted on the DriveSRT SRT6 site (when it still existed) it seemed that the SRT-6 design team lead and engineering team lead took a lot of pride in the work they put into the vehicle, in spite of the fact it was a re-hash of the SLK32. The tuning of the suspension and the stiffening of the body rigidity was part of the "SRT" touch. Sure the technology wasn't built from the ground up, but SRT should take pride in this unique car that has developed a devoted following (as it appears they were doing with the site... until they took it down!).

At least they were even-handed in their decision to remove the heritage vehicles sites, looks like all of the old SRT models that previously had a devoted URL are no longer on the site.

 

And that's a good thing, because?

Sorry, It may be an absolute hoot to drive, but my gawd I just can't get past the way the darn thing looks.
That, and about the only Fiat I would ever consider owning is a Dino. Or a 1968/69 "Ferrari" Dino 206 GT (which is really just a Fiat).

 

the srt6 page is back up

Thanks Rob!

 

Awesome! Any idea if this was the result of feedback from NeedSwings or was part of the SRT site re-design all along?
