  • SRT-6 - Muscle Crusher - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    I took my SRT-6 (no modifications) to the track the other night at my nephews request. He owns a 2009 Mustang Shelby. Pure V8 muscle. Long story short, my quarter mile time was 13.9 at 103 mph. His time was 14.78 @ 94 mph. I also raced a Dodge Challenger SRT-8 and crushed that too. My times were consistent, the SRT-8 ran a 14.6 at 97 mph. There is just pure fun and excitement driving my SRT-6 on or off the track. It looks good, it turns heads. I will admit that I wish there were more interior features like a n MP3 player, but then again it was a 2005 model. I got my SRT-6 for half the price, brand new with only 63 miles. I was in the right place and time and glad I was.

    Since my first time i saw i felt in love with it, shopped around and got it finally, once having it its been fun everytime i get on the wheel, it runs and looks great. I loved the stereo, dropping the top down and running it fast, it has some good handling and acceleration..eh, average. I think you shouldnt own it if youre taller than 59 though, because space is limited. Parts are hard to find and expencive.

    This car has unbelievable power. Power off the line is tremendous, and faster than most other cars on the road. But on the highway, this car is a madman. At 80 mph on the highway, punch it and you better hold on, and thats no exaggeration. It is scary fast. Muscle car fast. Quality is also superb. As other reviewers have stated, the car leaves you with no doubt that it is a high end Mercedes. If you can find one, buy it now- they are silly cheap for what you get. These will be collectors items- there is no doubt in my mind. But, theyll have to wrestle it away from me! Some say the ride is bad- I disagree. Its a sports car. Ride is really pretty great. Worth every dime.

    the best handling car I ever had. I had it up to 150 mph and it was as smooth as going 40 mph

  • Lots of Looks - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire

    My Crossifre Roadster is an amazing car. It is my "mid life ENTITLEMENT" car! People actually go out of their way to tell me how beautiful the car is. I is fun to drive, and very comfortable. The seats are great for my back. I just wish the cup holder was larger and the navigation system was a little easier to use. My wife thinks the luggage is an amazing feature.

  • Better late for a Roadster than never - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    When I was about 20 I wanted a Triumph TR6 baaad, but couldnt swing it-and thank god since they were so unreliable. 30+ years later I finally have my roadster, and what a fun piece of machinery! About a week ago I found a clean 2005 example with 26K miles for $16K. It is smooth, well-balanced, fast enough, and purrs like the old Triumphs-as least from my memory! I share it with my wife (have to decide between it and a MB CLK500...a tough choice let me tell you!). The styling is so distinctive, and the chassis is solid enough for fast curves, yet the ride is actually quite smooth overall. If you are considering a Mercedes SLK, try out a used Crossfire. It is its fraternal twin for less $$$.

    This car is definitely fun to drive, especially on winding roads. It has excellent lateral acceleration. It is a little slow in its straight aheas acceleration; there is a brief lag sudden acceleration while in motion. I have had the car since October, 2003, with no mechanical problems. There is not much storage, but plenty of cockpit room for sitting. If you are not planning on a lot of luggage, then this is a great way to get where you are going...or no where in particular, if you just want to have some fun.

  • Lemon - 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
    By -

    Purchased new 07/06. Two months ago transmission seals had to be replaced, but it was under warranty which expired 07/06/09. 08/06/09 @ 26,000 miles key did not work, AAA could not start the car and it was towed in - "brain" dead and a lobotomy required. As warranty had run out I was quoted total of $4700 for computer replacement. It took a week to get the parts, and now Chryslers computer system is down so it cant be programmed. Also being charged $190 for second key. Good news is that now it is partially covered by warranty but my cost is still over $1500. Not happy.
