Hopefully my next car (check it out)
2005 Chrysler Crossfire
If all works out, I'll be driving this at the end of the week and then I can have stories like s2000man. This car is unbelievably hot when its right in front of you and you will not believe the power and control. Don't worry though, if i get it I'll still stay loyal to this website. I lub you guys and gals too much to leave.
Now...wha cha think?

Rep Power: 285 I test drove this car also and I wasnt impressed. Its fast compared to the Civic but it felt a little sluggish. Also, the interior looked so cheap, way too much painted plastic. I expected more from a car in that price range.
But overall, it was a nice car.

Rep Power: 254 'preciate the info, hustle. Honestly, its been the fastest car I've ever driven so as far as sluggish goes i couldn't tell, One thing i did like a lot though was when I shifted into second gear and I heared the tires go "BWWWAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRPPP" Almost creamed my pants.
Now I have rode in a Miata and a BMW Z3, maybe its just opinion but they seemed pale in comparison. None the less, I still really appreciate your words my good man.

Rep Power: 276 I always thought those cars looked overstyled. The only bad thing is that if I got it, I would kick myself for not getting the srt 6 version.

Rep Power: 0 The quality is supposed to be pretty good, with a lot of Mercedes components. Not too practical for the money though, but if you have it and that's what you want, hey. Depreciation is kind of an unknown too, since it is kind of a niche car. Seems like a radical upgrade, from a Civic to something like that. Have fun.

Rep Power: 264 I agree with Hustle as far as lookin cheap...have not drove one (probably wouldnt fit...LOL), I would buy an sc430, or G35 before I bought that, IMO!!!

Rep Power: 340 ^ I'm a fan of the G35, but I think the SC430 is one of the ugliest cars currently in production. That... and MSRP on it is over 63,000... more than double the base Crossfire's. You could buy two limited coupe Crossfires for the price of one SC430.

its a bit more expensive than the crossfire, but its soooooooooooo much more sexy.

Rep Power: 254 I stopped by the dealership yesterday and snapped a few pics of the exact car.
To everyone, thnks for the good luck. It may just happen, gonna find out this week.
to white2k2ex: Black...daaaark black with 20% black tint.
05civicguy: LMAO! hahah, thas a catchy name. I might change my handle to that if i get it
Modoman: I want to get into a car i don't have to further modify. Probably the #1 reason i modded my civic was because I have been unsatisfied with it.
Now as the price goes, I didn't mention I'm picking it up for 25,000. So its a lil bit less than a g35, s2000, and what ever the heck that 100,000 dollar car was.
So here are the pictures...
you can see my civic in the background in this one.
finally, its cute lil azz..
