No older than the platform that our crossfire is based on.

I'm talking about what people can see. Not what they can't. BTW I'm starting to see a lot of the C-6 Vettes around, kinda like Mousetangs. They just don't grab anyone's attention anymore.

^^^ Agreed. Which is EXACTLY why I'm not even considering the 350z/G35...

Every day, I eat/breathe/****/sleep Nissan.

I currently drive a Domestic, and while I love the cheap parts, I hate the "cheap parts". Plastics, that is. I want a refined machine...I want something foreign, but not Japanese... LOL.

All things are pointing me back to the SRT... I suppose that's a sign...

Whoa, you're poor plumbing.
Seriously - have you driven the Boxster S and the SRT6?
If you can, try to drive them a day or two apart - then you will probably have your answer.

Nice!

So concerning 1/4 mile times, is everyone in the SRT managing roughly 13.2 - 13.4 time slips? Not that I'll be using this as a drag car; it's more of a point of reference...

I've noticed that basically the entire SRT lineup is in the mid/low 13 second range... from the SRT-4, SRT-6 Crossfire, SRT-8 300C as well as the SRT-8 Jeep... hell even the SRT-10 Ram... every one of those are in the mid 13 range from the showroom floor...

I wish SVT was as nice to us Blue-oval guys... LOL.

You guys have seen my P.O.S. right? ;o)
