Default How much did Chrysler do as far as tuning the SRT6

Hi everyone!

As we all know, the platform came from Mercedes, the engine built by AMG and the whole car assembled in Osnabrück by Karmann.

What role did Chrysler's SRT Team Play and what would you say were they responsible for? Are shocks, brakes and springs also made by Mercedes or are those in-house Mopar parts?

Would love to hear everybody's opinions!

They tuned the price, that’s all.

Why do Crossfires have wings?? Limited is deployed and SRT 6 is in place plus that wonderful SKREEM unit! Eric signs Crossfires each Woodward event and Chrysler signed his check. Hmmm? plus those pesky 193 part numbers. What did MOPAR design into the Crossfire ~~~ just the price? Maybe >

PS check the rear sway bar on the SLK R170

Judging by this sounds like SRT Team were the driving force behind a lot of the properties of the SRT6. Very interesting. Also always found it interesting that there is supposed to be a discrepancy in hp between our Mercedes counterparts.
Always thought it was a marketing stunt.
Thanks for posting this!!
