    Default Crossfire Cabrio Compressor (aka SRT-6)

    Crossfire SRT-6 is first Chrysler with SRT badge

    For those who aren't familiar with the abbreviation SRT, Dodge uses it to stand for Street and Racing Technology. Now Chrysler is also going to use the SRT badge for the Crossfire coupe and roadster, which will also be the first SRT vehicles available outside North America. Chrysler will present the 2005 Crossfire SRT-6 at the Geneva Auto Show, which opens to the public on March 4.

    Unlike the Dodge SRT versions, which have bold looks and extreme performance, the Chrysler SRT vehicles will be understated and feature refined performance. The Crossfire SRT-6 is equipped with a hand-built 330-hp 3.2-liter supercharged V-6 with 330 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. It is teamed to an upgraded five-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick. The SRT-6 will be able to perform the sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. The engine delivers 90 percent of peak torque in a broad power band from 2300 to 6200 rpm.

    For optimal performance, the Crossfire SRT-6 has a sport tuned suspension with increased spring rates and performance tuned damping and ultra high performance Michelin Pilot Sport tires: 225/40 ZR-18 (front) and 255/35 ZR-19 (rear). Also the ESP is specifically tuned for dynamic driving. Four ventilated disc brakes with dual-piston calipers should stop the fast Crossfire from 60 to 0 mph in approximately 115 feet.

    The body of the Crossfire is enhanced with a fixed rear spoiler and a front fascia chin spoiler. In the interior there is a special instrument cluster with a 200-mph speedo, hinting at its performance bent. Pearl nappa leather sport seats with suede inserts and bolsters and embroidered 'SRT-6' on the headrests provide the sporty look.

    Too bad they didnt give the choice of a manual transmission as well as an automatic. Oh well i guess it's a benz/chrysler thing.

    haha, it's an SLK 32 soft top convertible!

    This thing will be a monster... lighter than the SLK 32, and same motor capable of over 400hp. Yikes!

    UGLY F'N SPOILER!!

    Probably won't be a whole lot more than the regular crossfire, maybe 10 g's??

    Slk32 is only about 11 grand more than the SLK 320.

    10g's might sound like a bit, but the crossfire isn't too expensive to begin with, I think this car might be pretty affordable.

    Sounds good on paper, but I can't imagine recent Benz reliability mixed with classic Chrysler quality.

    eek.

    Although, as if you can do better for the price.

    Benz reliability is good, just a couple models take it down, and the SLK is not one of them!!! Probably one of the best Benz's post 95.

    From what I know, the exact opposite is true. I own a new Benz, and it is hardly reliable.. it has been in the shop probably 6 times in 6 months. As for the SLKs, I've heard that they have all sorts of issues, especially with the supercharged engine in the SLK32.

    Mercedes went way down in quality over the last 5 years or so, and it definitely shows, especially interior quality, although the styling is awesome.

    I must be confused then, sorry... but the SLK holds it's value VERY well, hard to imagine that would be the case if it's so unreliable.
