Re: 2004 Chrysler Crossfire?
I've owned the coupe for several years. Mine is a "vanilla" model w/o upgrades or mods. It's a kick in the pants to drive and has plenty of get-up-n-go. This is NOT a snow/heavy rain vehicle because of the traction control. Were I to redesign it I would change the following:
1) Design seating for people taller than 5'6" (I'm 6'3" and have a heck of a time getting into the car).
2) Install sun visors that rotate out to the side window.
3) Make the 6-speaker Infinity system a surround installation (it sounds like a 2-speaker stereo).
4) 5-speed vice 6-speed (seems like I'm always shifting in traffic).
5) Teach the Germans how to lay out an "American" dash board w/ controls (everything is in goofy places).
There's not many Crossfires out there and I think that they'll hold their resale value. They ARE expensive to insure (keep that in mind) and require Premium gasoline.
Hope this helps (or at least doesn't scare you away).
