Sorry, didn't mean to touch a nerve. My numbers where being based off of what I've personally seen at the track from another member who isn't running lean and running 11.9 consistantly. You did 5 runs with 11.3 as your fastest, so 11.9 minus 11.3 is what? Oh it's 0.6 seconds, damn that southern backwoods country highschool did teach me somethin.

Dude, bottom line is if you like the car and are happy with your decision it doesn't matter what someone else thinks. I have a SLK55, it has a V8 engine, and I paid too much for it. You know what though? I don't care that I paid too much, because it's what I wanted and I love the car.

BTW the DCAI from Needswings looks good.

 

Amen and amen.

I am a bit shocked the 55K V-8 isn't murdering 10's all day long, though.

Daihti (sp?) in TX is running a 150 shot and his wife is well into the 10's... Jim is getting a good hook, I figured this thing would at least match the SRT on NOS.

11.3 is still retardedly quick, I'll never see those speeds.

 

you didn't touch a nerve I'm just gave you the facts of what is going on ,,and yes i did expect 10's from this,, and will be ther soon ,, the fun of it is building up to the 10's if i came out and ran the 10 from the getgo , i would have nothing to look forward to. I could have and almost did get a CTS-V or a E55 , but what i have there are only 7 of them that we know of. ==================================RARE
here is the LIST

Is there a video out there with a tuned srt6 vs a srt6 V8 ? both on street tires?

 

yes but NOT ON STREET TIRES not in my car anyway. here is the video you ask for a srt6 with the same tune as MY SRT6, when it was a 6,, VS's My V8 ,,,, the tune for the srt6 today is better, that is why more and more srt6;s are running in the 11's

 

You create a very interesting question, What is the value of a V8 Crossfire? I can't see giving more than low 20's for one. If you were to sell your 1 of 8 (you forgot the Hemi) what would you sell it for?

 

I think someone offered Beaner around $30k for his and he said no. He said for around $40k he would probably sell it.

 

I was offered 35 cash, and also said no, I like this car so much if someone offered me $75,000.00 i would take it ,,and get another one and pocket a few dollars jim

 

Hey Nick if you get a chance ride in one of these cars. If you are really lucky drive one and experience what the accelleration of an 11.3 car feels like. You would be hooked. Rudy, Paul, Rob and the boys at Speedriven have built a very special car.

 

bigkid is in south fl for work, and he and I got together last wed at PBIR to do a little racing well he didn't want to run his car being he was in route to south fl. ,,had all his household goods in the back oh where were the golf clubs in the front seat beside you,,andway after the strip we went south, we were going to go to the track last night(Friday) but between his work and my rear suspension comming loose we just had some pizza and wings ,,hung out we did take my car out, bigkid drove but was not use to it enough to jump on it ,, anyway it was nice seeing him again,, he is welcome here any time ,he is one nice guy,,
if his work worksout we are going to the track next Wed. if we have time we are going to put my tires on his car and run it. anybody want to come out to PBIR with us ,, Randy,,Cuban be,,Carols,Don,Davesrt6,Srtpower,Manny two two,Martinsrt6,Fubu,Holycrap, and anyone that can come out& see this new intake that needswings made for the E55 engines ,in a crossfire or a Mercedes. jim

 

Jim, no problem getting on it in your car. I am looking forward to that experience. BUT 130 on a city street is just insane, don't you have any deserted country roads here? LOL or maybe I 75. Your car is wicked fast, possibly the fastest car I have ever been in.

Thanks for the hospitality ,I enjoyed the evening and meeting your family. I am always amazed how the people on this forum are like family. Who knew you would get all of this when you buy a Crossfire. Like the saying goes "PRICELESS".

 

Beaner is from Canada, not yet part of the USA.

 

An honest mistake 180.........I know that what you really meant was
"that the USA is not yet a part of Canada"

 

maybe i should change the location to North America,

 

Jim, did you break or bend something or what???

 

I thought i did because the pass wheel was moving back and forth about an inch when the brake was applied. at 120 (at the track) i let off the gas and the car wanted to go sideways and when i hit the brakes to slow down the car wanted to go sideways the other way so i parked it ,,,drove 70 miles home jacked it up and wow ,,, I was going to take everything apart and make adj, links for all three links on both sides and or make hard teflon bushings for all the rear links and lower control arms, but then i found one of the bolts loose the nut was on by 1or 2 thds.,, replaced that,, inspected everything and i'm back on the road,, took some measurements and am going to make all new links,,maybe.. or maybe just the bushings. jim

P.S. mike your links are great and did not cause any of my problem,, your links are so good ,that's why i may want to make all the links on both sides. thanks for such a good product.

 

where did you guys order the devil horns from? And do yoi think they would fit @ the c32 engine bay?

 

NeedsWings Devil Horns

 

Jim, I can make the trailing links and track bars for you. I did track bars for another member. Tell me what lengths (center to center) you need for the trailing links and track bars and I can do them. They will all look just like the camber arms, just different lengths...

 

That’s extremely nice! Do you use our stock gear box here? As i understand the most difficult thing is to replace all electric staff.

I wish you low 10 seconds!
