Hi, I just bought a crossfire. not really used to those types of cars. i have the normal coupé, not srt-6, insurance were too expensive $1,700/yr compared to $5,300/yr. i wanted to know if it was really complicated modifying my normal coupé engine into a srt-6 engine?


thanks!

 

yes and no one has done it ... HDDP is in process but his is a gutted track car so down time is not a issue.

edit: to add to it ... its beyond complicated ... brain surgery is complicated ... srt swap into a regular is untried, tedious work, and massive amounts of research that will take a year of off time to do correctly. simply put ... not worth it ... call STS and get a remote mount turbo for a fraction of the cost and make more power.

 

It has been proven that at the current SRT-6 prices, it is cheaper to BUY an srt-6 then try and modify your coupe into one..

There's to many things that need to be upgraded / changed, not just a direct engine swap.

 

Until you see the insurance prices for anyone under 25.

 

I bought mine when I was 20 and began paying $80 a month and 2 years later I'm down to less than $75. I live in a rural area and have a spotless record though.

 

Probably cheaper just to buy and insure a real SRT6 than fork over the money to mod a Limited to SRT6 spec. Plus, try wrecking such a modded car and see what your insurance company says about all those modifications!! Talk about expensive.

 

it's not hard, find an srt6 on the street , get the vin number, then order the key from the dealership, ta da, you now own an srt6.

 

Insurance isn't bad unless you're a bad driver living in a strict state. Here in FL I'm under 25 nd pay a little less than $1,200 a year for the SRT (roadster no less)

 

LMAO!!!!!

I guess trying to insure a stolen car is out the window as well........just saving a little more cash!

 

it's not stolen if you install your vin plates and licence plates from your limited onto the srt

 

You still run the risk of fraud

 

Just arrested someone for doing just that in Blount co. Guess your wrong again.

 

You might want to shop around a bit for insurance.
I pay < $1K/yr for my SRT6 & Ford Ranger.

 

Must be nice to have such low insurance. I have a 2005 SRT-6 and I am a 25 yr old male living in Sothern CA and I pay $220 a month. I had a clean record until two months ago now my insurance is going up to $440 a month because of a ticket I got. I got clocked doing 104 mph which resulted in a 30 day suspention of my licence, $1,200 fine and two points on my record with no traffic school. I am just glad I didn't get caught doing 170 mph which I was doing just before getting clocked. If I would have got caught going that fast I would have been arrested and had my car taken away along with my license.

 

You're 46. That may have something to do with it.

 

it would be fraud.

 

Another variation of this question. Is there any aftermarket superchargers available for the limited model, or is it stricktly a turbo route?

 

jesus christ this is getting annoying! And you can't blame the newbies for asking the same question over and over again,

Hey mederators, do your Jobs and post all the threads for a supercharger up top in a STICKY!
this question keeps getting asked every week. sheesh. come on moderadors.

 

If it so annoying, be my guest and don't read the thread. You should start a a cranky get off my forum thread maybe?? You can whine and complain all day in that thing. How many different types of moderators are you looking for?? So far I see 2 different incorrect spellings. MODERATORS!! Now go take your fiber pills and calm down.

 

I am telling the mourderatorse on you!
