Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6

[The359]

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.

i think i have a new found respect for chrysler

I am not a huge fan of the chrysler crossfire, but this one is not too bad, i must admit.
looks a bit better and the power will be great for this car. Most reviews i have read about this car is that it needed a more powerful engine, so this one should do fine.

I never cared for the back end of it.But that's quite a bit of power.It seemed alittle underpowered before.

Crossfire AMG!

i dont care for the fixed spoiler (or the back end for that matter) but a front view is a nice sight. looks very cool. glad to see chrysler donning the SRT badge, now im waiting for a mopar to come out with an SRT-8, since theres now a 10, 6, and 4 cylinder covered!
maybe the new 300M?????? 8)

Coupe yes
Convertable, no, the spoiler ruins the car's lines and makes it look strange

[HeilSvenska]

Why at all? Why a Dodge suffix when it's a Chrysler? it cheapens the brand...
and cross fire V8? travesty

I've always liked the Crossfire's styling, btu I must say that the convertable would look much better without the spoiler. I hope this is the car it should have been, btu my guess is it'll be just as bad. Only a bit faster.

I wonder what Clarkson will have to say about it? LOL With the top down it kind of lost that "Dog taking a shit" look!
Another thing, why must they give you a speedometer that goes to 200mph when it's limited to 155mph?

'SRT' was never meant exclusivly for Dodge, it meant for all Mopar brands. Hence you can have Chrysler SRTs and even Jeep SRTs.
