Chaparral2f Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Its spring in Oregon. That means it only rains 5 days a week. All this sunlight must be frying my brain, and I am thinking about a new car. A couple of days ago I saw a new Chrysler Crossfire, and I thought it looked pretty neat. The adverts say it is capable of 150mph, and that just makes it look even better. So what do you guys think? My last Mopar was a '67 Charger with a street Hemi. I really loved it and the cross fire might be just what I need for my next Mopar.

z-REX Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 if you like the crossfire, hold out a bit. the srt-6 version will have a supercharged benz 6. given the money... i'd buy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest myth66 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I do like the sleek style the crossfire has and that cool little retracting spoiler thing in the back. I haven't heard a whole lot about the performance I just have a neighbor that owns one and I like the look of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that guy is being overcritical. He'd probablt say the same thing about any american made car because his pride won't let him say otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 No mention of the 350Z at all? Hmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 He sure does badmouth it. I'll bet you'd never hear him say that it is necessary to own 2 Jaguars so you have one to drive while the other one is in the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 At 6'4" I found that I don't fit in one. I was also disappointed in the 215 HP in a car that cost more than the 287 HP track version of the 350Z. I used to be a MOPAR fan until I had some problems and D-C wouldn't make it right. Personnally I just don't see the value in the Crossfire. I think it is a neat looking car but it ends there.

waynekarnes Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 it's a rebodied mercedes. if i had bucks, i'd have one in my driveway ... not that i want a mercedes. but i do like the way it looks. i think if nissan had been on the ball, that's what the 350z would of looked like. especially since they didn't go retro like VW did with the bug.

Guest ON3GO Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 ive delt with a few at school (autco tech school) and there crap.. sorry. they do look sweet though. the motor is very weak and the rear spoiler will break in a few months, its so thin and weak. interior is not bad but not alot of space. the SRT-6 should make its a better car but still i wouldnt buy one. now the new mazda miata mazdaspeed is very cool!

waynekarnes Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 the new fiat >??? kinda like the spider convertible ??? fun to look at, but you wouldn't want to own one ? too bad, it's a good looking car. i like the lines of the coupe, better than the convertible version.
