Re: Why Chrysler should make a new Crossfire.

To my way of thinking. The Crossfire is the most unique auto since the Model T. That auto was one mans dream on how to built the car. The Crossfire came into being with two hardheaded corparations on two different continets bringing together 3 car builders to create a world class car that appeals to buyers everywhere. If we throw our own ideas into the badge'n and modding of the car there is little possibity that there any 2 alike ever to be seen at the same time. Today it's still a beauty. I know when people ask me about my car their mouths drop when I tell that it's near 8 years old. I love tell'n the story of how I had it custom made to my specs by manufactures bits from all over the world..................LOL!

Second, the larger, lower-profile tires give the Crossfire more traction than the SLK. (High-performance Z-rated Michelin Pilot Sport tires are standard, 18 inches in front and 19 inches in the rear.) Indeed, Car and Driver magazine said the Crossfire clung to the asphalt on a skid pad better than the hot Nissan 350Z."

Boss most came with the god awful Conti's. I know cause I was there from the get go. It really is laughable how much you think the crossfire is a mopar car. It's as close to being a mopar as a Cadillac is to being a Ferrari.
