they are extremely hard to spot on the road... I've seen one or two

an old guy was trying to sell me one and he gave me his card and stuff... he gave me a nice little tidbit of info that if he diddn't I prolly wouldn't have recognized the SRT6 an SRT6...

the base model has a flip up push button wing... the SRT has a fixed in place fiberglass wing that is always visible

no dude, I respect the guy... he was trying to sell it for a friend of his, it was more like him trying to get the word out that his friends SRT6 was for sale


the guy that tried to push it was driving an audi RS6, I talk to him now and again up at 7-11... and I had a basic bolt on new edge [&:]

I respect the aged, they know alot more and have alot more... I will be the first to admit it

i know the sr6 came with a manual because me and my dad were cracking up one day when a guy in a srt tryed to launch and killed it

and many mags have run them to a 13.2/13.3
ur a retarded toolbag..... stfu... ur name is moparrrrr and u still dont know ****.

"Underhood, the 215-horsepower Mercedes 3.2-liter V-6 in the stock Crossfire is replaced by an AMG-built, 330-horsepower, supercharged version, which also makes 310 pound-feet of torque. "The only available transmission is an M-B five-speed automatic that has TouchShift-oops, sorry, AutoStick-manual operation."straight from the magazine u so highly prize....

haha..i didnt even notice that comment the first time..ive learned to look over his posts.

the only obvious difference of the SRT6 is the tiny badge, the fixed wing, and the wheels...i notice them quite a bit, but i worked for a chain of DCJ dealerships, and saw them regularly side by side (base models and srt6 models)

most people's biggest complaint is that they didnt have a manual trans option...the car would have been MUCH quicker with a manual. they are fun cars, but the sloppy auto trans is a turn off.

The no so obvious problem with racing with the family in the car is the lesson it teaches them.

Aside from the danger you put them in. That's for you to decide at the time. A little throttle here and there or a small burnout. That's usually not going to kill anyone.

Picture this. Kids see Daddy racing. Pick up the adrenaline rush, just like Dad is getting. When it's time for them to drive (16 years old). They were think it's ok to street race. . . . and there is the difference. We do it and we know it wrong. They will do it because Daddy used to do it. Difference , yes.
