Crossfire need more horsies.....

[TheScientist]

I think it does. It looks like the type of car that can do 0-60 in 5 seconds or something, and a top speed of 155 plus. But for the current 0-60 in 6.8 seconds? c'mon, a little more juice than that.

Needs something like 300 plus horsies.

well i think a supercharged 330 hp 3.2 liter is PLENTY for a two seater...(srt-6)

Im not telling you this but the 2006 model will offer a supercarger... hint look at the supercharged MB clk's power and that will be it..

I heard the same thing about a supercharged model coming out soon with an SRT-6 badge. I think it had like 330 hp and 0-60 in 5.1 sec. I do believe.

I might be buying one in december to add to my collection... I asked the sales man if it had any super chargers or new engines coming out the guy said yes there are supa chargers and there is a new engine upgrade that will be coming out with 390h.p woooo like the magnum

[Samurai75007]

well next year the 300C and the Mag with the HEMI's will get 425 so hold on for some more time till you get one. The SRT-8 300C might even get to around 475 or even 500...

I am a Chrysler salesman. The new SRT-6 has a 3.2L Supercharged V6 330 hp stock. Basically its a Mercedes SLK w/ chrysler badges.

I hate that, i work at mercedes, im a tech. And i hate the fact that Chrysler is using our engines to power there cars. Stupid murger.
But there will be good from this, the SRT-6 will have upgrades like the SRT-4 neons do. So all the mercedes guys will be after supercharger upgrades and stuff.

oh don't worry we missed out on 19hp that your old slk32 amg got somehow even though its the same engine. hell your new slk has a 7 speed automatic available in it. i've driven the srt-6 and while quick in a straight line the autostick let me down in the corners and the ride felt overly harsh. if i had it my way i'd get a crossfire roadster with the 6 speed, then wait til some tool crashes his srt-6 and yank the motor from the damned thing, they should have never built a $40,000 performance car with no manual transmission option.

It could stand a little more HP, but is fine as it is. The chip and K & N filters that I have installed do make a difference.

[Samurai75007]

If you dont mind can you PM me where you found the chip?

I think the Chrysler Firepower concept suits Chrysler better than the Crossfire. The Firepower uses a Dodge Viper's chassis, but is tuned to be a GT car. It would spread costs if it were built.

The regular model(2xx hp?) is indeed pathetic. I met a guy with a '05 Si a week back over at a friends house. I decided to ride with him a couple of days ago to see if I liked the car and he played around with a white dogback(heheheh) Crossfire. We stayed right at the guys door the entire race. He looked soo pissed...

And as for the SRT-6, 330hp isn't nearly enough for a $45k Chrystler.

Keep in mind...unlike the crossfires main competator, the 350Z, the crossfire has more torque than it does horsepower. while the torque is still less than that of the Z, its not too far off. After driving my dads crossfire i felt like it pulled pretty damn good from a role...off the line it could use some work. But overall the car felt strong and if you are looking for more speed...get a used SRT-6...ive seen them sell just around 30 grand now.

Wow, thanks for digging up a 2 year old thread.
