i'd really like to know which website that would be from... the crossfire is, as rguy and ec knightrider posted, a 3.2L v6 pushing 215hp and 229 ft/lbs of torque. that and it's a 6 speed, not a 5 speed...

supposedly there's one in roanoke that's for sale, used. it's been sitting there for a while too.

there was a S/C on the prototype, but it never made it to production

FYI it's actually based on the MB SLK, so in a way it's a cheaper version of SLK, with a 6 speed manual!

Exactly

It might not be super powerfull. But I heard it handles very well. I too saw it on Speed Vision when they were pushing 150 in it. They said it was very stable at high speeds. Then they also took it to a race track and said it was pretty good there too. 215hp is still somthing to work with.

Im not saying I am going to get one, but it is basicly a MB for alot less.

34,495msrp.

Fug that....id take a g35, nissan 350z touring, is300 L-tuned, or a BMW 3-series (even the lower models) for that price.

all these cars have more power, and more luxury/sport than a farking CHRYSLER.

yea that's true, but i mean, you still gotta give it to chrysler. the new alliance they have with mercedes looks like a good one. if it came out under the mercedes name rather than chrysler, i think some ppl would accept it more.
