New Daily Beater

[OptiCon]

Well, I started out looking for a 5.7 Charger. Struggling with the idea of spending $27k for a 4000lb bus with an automatic, I stumbled across an interesting alternative...

2007 Chrysler Crossfire Coupe
Base model w/ 3.2L Mercedes drivetrain and a 6 speed Manual.
220hp 230lbft @ crank.
5 year 100,000 miles bumper to bumper & Lifetime Powertrain.

$23,000 out the door. :eek:

My brother is in service @ the dealership I bought it from.

Nice buy. I like it. Any plans for mods or are you just leaving it stock?

[OptiCon]

The exhaust needs to be louder. So i'll likely rip the muffler off in the next two weeks. I also have plans to augment the stereo a bit (sub and rear tweeters).

Other than that, nothing substantial.

nice pickup. my dad had one of those when they first came out. fun little cars to drive and you can get them dirt cheap, as you found out. have fun with it.

[poisonivory]

if you did decide to mod a little bit, those crossfires are no slouches. Very nice buy for $23k out the door. enjoy!!!

Not the SRT!?

LoL regardless still a hell of a car.

lmao i use to sing that song when i was a kid, funny how they make the game look 10x cooler than it really was.

Awesome pick up! I've always liked the crossfires, just nice cars in general.

nice beater

[CHAOS]

haha nice pickup dude... gonna let me drive this one?

[Honest_Bob]

Looking good. The speed adjusting wing is pretty cool. :)

^ Until It's frozen and tries to open. LOL.

Just bought a "sprint booster" for it.
It's supposed to help correct the disconnected Electronic throttle feel.
We'll see.

Next up, muffler gets the chop chop. :mrgreen:

... ok so I can't leave a car well enough alone. Was this so unexpected?

Upsolute chips are rated @ a 20hp 20lbft increase. Kinda sad for the money, but I guess this IS an NA car.

Not every car can be as cool as a Dodge Spirit. :-p

[OptiCon]

I used to make 20hp gains because the sun went down. Now I have to shell out $500? :mrgreen:

[MuddyREX]

Marc used to have one, I think his was chipped. He won't admit it's a Chrysler though.

Nice "beater".

Nice pick up by the way, Ive always liked those crossfires

[Da InFaMMuS 1]

nice beater. Wish i had money to have something like that as a beater lol. I like the interior, looks pretty good unlike the 350z interiors ive been seeing while helping my friend shop for a car. Those interiors look like ****, but yours, looks iight

[DSMTJ]

damn that exhaust clip kind of sounds like a vw r32, although it's the same sinxe motor, i thought only a vw could sound like that haha

Sound reminds me of a G35...a loud one

I thought it was a mercedes engine.
Mercedes 3.2L V6. The loud one with true duals, 4 converters, and no muffler.
