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?

very hard.

hustlelikem0fo 06-25-2005 08:48 PM

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.

chknmnky 06-25-2005 08:54 PM

'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.

JP375 06-25-2005 09:03 PM

its a pretty unique car, at least I haven't seen too many on the road. Hope you enjoy it!

xX03EXx 06-25-2005 10:20 PM

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.

MYK1013 06-25-2005 10:28 PM

not my type but good luck anyways.

orion_squall 06-25-2005 11:35 PM

very good car with dynamic wing, if you trade you civic in, you might get one.

HondaGuy12 06-25-2005 11:48 PM

get a g35 for that amount of money..

Roosbok 06-25-2005 11:50 PM

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.

orion_squall 06-25-2005 11:53 PM

isn't that car costs way more than the G35?

white2K2EX 06-26-2005 12:21 AM

Very cool cars. What color do you plan on getting?

my1vtec 06-26-2005 12:58 AM

how much does that car retail at?

white2K2EX 06-26-2005 01:10 AM

First price is MSRP. Second is invoice.

Coupe - 29,145 27,131
Coupe Limited - 33,995 31,496
Roadster - 34,185 31,667
Roadster Limited 28,295 35,366
SRT-6 Coupe 45,170 41,998
SRT-6 Roadster 49,470 45,858

KnocturnalEM2 06-26-2005 01:41 AM

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!!!

white2K2EX 06-26-2005 02:31 AM

^ 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.

pbfoot 06-26-2005 02:47 AM

i would wait, save your money, and go for the firepower if i were you.
http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=2382

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

Al Gore FTW 06-26-2005 02:51 AM

if it was me, i would be getting an s2k, reliability, power, looks, and resale all in one package. good luck though.

LOL. A "bit?" The car would be in the $70,000-100,000 range and that's only if it makes it into production.

thats only like 30-60k more than the crossfire.... :giggle: :giggle: and i did tell him to save up. by the time they decide if theyre gonna produce it he can save that much....

well...on second thought.......


its still a hot car!!!! :hgrin:

05CiViCgUy 06-26-2005 03:30 AM

a guy at work bought one it kept messing up and had 2 lemon law it we called it the miss fire lol

modoman 06-26-2005 04:05 AM

get a 350z for the price of the crossfire... hell youd have money left over for mods, and a 350 will pull on that chrysler poo

chknmnky 06-27-2005 04:24 AM

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...

chknmnky 06-27-2005 07:07 PM

where the heck did my pics go?

chknmnky 06-27-2005 07:10 PM

Alright, fixed em

Rennen 06-27-2005 07:48 PM

am i the only one who doesnt like how it looks?

dre2600 06-27-2005 08:04 PM

The fact that theres a lot of Mercedes in there and the speed adjusting spoiler are by far the coolest parts.

technick03 06-27-2005 09:33 PM

G35 is the sickest ride on the market at this time imo, for $38,000 loaded you can't go wrong. I think the Crossfires are nasty as hell.
