Default What an Idiot !!

So I come home today and park the crossfire in the garage not looking forward to all the work I have to finish for the day on my Mac, when I can't get the key out of the ignition. I have done the sticky ignition fix and think to myself "what the hell". I twist the key, pull the key, switch it on and off 20 or so times, think about getting a pair of pliers from the work bench and yanking it out. This goes on for 10 minutes or so, I didn't swear but was pretty close.

It would always help if you put the car into park when trying to remove the key. Enough said !!!!!

Real sports cars have manual transmissions.
This never happens with them.

Real men aren't afraid to marry strong women who love fast cars.

Then I'll rephrase the question....

Back to Dave's point, The NA is not slower than the SRT6.

At least not from the factory.

Dave is seldom wrong on technical data but since he never drives fast at all, he likely missed this.

NA's will do 156 MPH, SRT6 is limited at 150MPH.
Of course both of my Crossiess have done better.

No, but the '6 will get to 150 faster than the N/A.
