Thanks for that. And thanks for reading Autoblog. Compare the Chrysler Crossfire Side-by-Side against other vehicles. There's been considerable pumping up of the Crossfire's suspension as well. The spring rates have been stiffened almost 50 percent in the front and 42 percent in the rear, and jounce and rebound rates in the shocks have been firmed up to match. The front brake rotors grow 1.
There's more zoot in the Crossfire's '40s-streamline styling with special-to-SRT wheels, 18 inches in front, 19 in the rear. The spoke count in the wheels has been upped from seven to Peeking over the rims is the thin trace of the new low-profile Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 multicompound summer rubber Continental all-season tires are an option.
You'll find a jack and a can of tire sealer, but no spare. The square jaw gets a bit squarer with a revised front-bumper fascia. Replacing the base car's motorized rear spoiler is a fixed wing that wraps around the fastback and is etched with the same boat-deck dimples as the hood. It clutters the tail and raises a question: If the base Crossfire's deploying spoiler provides enough stability for its mph top speed, why does the SRT need a gaudy whale fluke to go ? The cockpit gets by with minimal changes, including a mph speedo and Alcantara pseudo-suede trim on the buckets that is embroidered with an SRT-6 logo.
Hence, a few complaints about the Crossfire cabin remain, including over-the-shoulder blind spots, a tight cabin for six-footers, no steering-wheel rake adjustment, and a dinky 8-cubic-foot trunk with nothing to tie down the goods. Lows: Vision-blurring ride, no manual available, blind spots will hide a Scenicruiser.
A mph run now swiffs by in 5. That car ran the quarter in The SRT-6 posts a Whether it's the next green light down the avenue or the gap between two rigs guarding the freeway merge lane, "up there" is "right here" much sooner in an SRT Even so, polite manners govern the powertrain. The throttle response and the automatic gear selections are smoothly keyed to your pedal inputs. If you like, pilot the SRT-6 all day without ever getting into the fat end of the power—let the Starbucks get cold in the one cup holder, and it won't slosh if you're careful.
More thrust doesn't equate to more noise, either. The decibel measurements at idle and wide open throttle, 46 and 78, respectively, are not low by luxury-car standards, but they are virtually identical to those of the base Crossfire. A supercharger that is felt but not heard runs on sophisticated engineering. Fancy multilink arrangements in the wheel wells strike a contrast to a medieval recirculating-ball steering box that deadens wheel feedback from the driver.
The base Crossfire is no lubberly pig, but the SRT deckhands have pulled in any slack and reprogrammed the stability-control software to tolerate more friskiness. Speedy steering reflexes, stable footing through the corners, and dependable reserves of grip from the monster tires 0.
Braking distances likewise shrank. Clamped into full ABS, the four discs supply a stop from 70 mph in feet, a few feet shorter than the base Crossfire. Where presented as a range, it represents the prices of multiple trim lines available for the model without options and before taxes, rebates, or fees.
