Raced a New 06 CrossFire.
So coming home from work tonight from the Casino. Around 3:00am on Rt30 a 06 CF comes out of Nowhere doin about 80 and Flys By Me . I was like YES this is GREAT. Thinking to0myslef. " Mycar is VryNew to me so it makes me even happier to those who can Relate" so i Presume to Catch up to him.. What do you know its a older dude with a Young Grl with a Hottie lol. Trying to SHow off was mYguess.. SO to speed things up i just get next to him and TOss him a couple FAST high pulls. For him to Bite Out of Nowere He Comes to a COMPLETE STOP lol i was like damm he just called me out. i never been in that position before. so i backed up and we Went from a 3Beep on Him.. We go he gets about a 1/2 Car head Jump on me. But i quickly Pulled in Next of him when i hit 2nd Gear. Preety Much after that i was just slowly walking away. We Reached 130ish i had about between 4 or 6 on him. After that his Exit came up i guess cause he Turned off.. Those Cars i THink look preety Nice In the Back better then there last Version i think.

Even the SRT6 is waaaaay overpriced for what you get IMO performance wise. I mean what $50K? I can think of a bunch of cars I would take over it in that price range. I think I seen it run a 13.9 in the 1/4? correct me if im wrong.

RANT MODE
I hate that car. Its got the same basic engine found in the Jeep liberty. My Mom has a Liberty, and its a fine little SUV (especially when you price it next to others!) but that motor doesnt make jack untill higher revs, and even then its not much for a 3.7L V6. Thats one of Mercs worst engines.
The thing does not handle, it doesnt go fast strait, its not roomy, its ugly IMHO, it gets so/so mileage, and its expensive. Im not surprised you hardly ever see them. They started as a TT wannabe and ended by taking out the coolest feature they had as a concept-power. I have no clue why anyone would get one over a 350Z or Mazdaspeed Miata or S2000, all of which are cheaper. And I would put a Mazdaspeed against a CF anyday from a dig, maybe from a low roll too. No contest at all on a track.
The SRT-6 better kick *** or that car will be a disgrace. Why the ever loving f#$% did they make that POS and not the Razor concept. They could have sold those by the bucketfull and they would be fast as hell, real Evo competition.

New SRT-6 = Old Mercedes SLK320 Not a slow car, but overpriced if looking at it in a performance/dollar aspect.
As for not being able to handle, come on, this coming from f-body drivers. I doubt it's significantly worse than our cars when it comes to handling, maybe a little more understeer but I doubt it's all that bad.
But in any kind of straight line racing I would never worry about a stock crossfire SRT-6 or not.

the SRT-6 coupe is $45,695 and the soft-top rings up $49,995.
330-bhp, 310-lb.-ft.-of-torque, supercharged 3.2-liter, 18-valve, single-overhead-cam aluminum V-6
The Japanese-made IHI supercharger does whack time off the Crossfire's track numbers in big chunks. A 60-mph run now swiffs by in 5.1 seconds, a 1.4-second improvement over a six-speed manual Crossfire we tested in 2003. That car ran the quarter in 14.8 seconds at 96 mph. The SRT-6 posts a 13.5-second quarter, steaming through the trap at 107 mph.
UHM..ok.
For 50k You could get a MUCH better looking car, and def trap better than 13.5
c5 z06 sounds nice!

i can only assume his Car was not a SRT-6 then from above posts. as for what the outcome was..But 49k $ for 1 HAHA .Screw that you have to really like a CRossFIRE to SPEND that amout.

Lol, I agree with teh above post about comparing it to 350's, S2K's etc...They actually tested it on a show against the S2K and the S did better in just about every category. They even said at the end of the test, they would choose an S2K over the CF especially for $15K less We bought our S2K new for $35K with 100K mile warranty etc...And got the same performance etc as the SRT6 CF
