(TCC Staff) Crossfire SRT-6 is first Chrysler with SRT badge

For those who aren't familiar with the abbreviation SRT, Dodge uses it to stand for Street and Racing Technology. Now Chrysler is also going to use the SRT badge for the Crossfire coupe and roadster, which will also be the first SRT vehicles available outside North America. Chrysler will present the 2005 Crossfire SRT-6 at the Geneva Auto Show, which opens to the public on March 4.

Unlike the Dodge SRT versions, which have bold looks and extreme performance, the Chrysler SRT vehicles will be understated and feature refined performance. The Crossfire SRT-6 is equipped with a hand-built 330-hp 3.2-liter supercharged V-6 with 330 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. It is teamed to an upgraded five-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick. The SRT-6 will be able to perform the sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. The engine delivers 90 percent of peak torque in a broad power band from 2300 to 6200 rpm.

For optimal performance, the Crossfire SRT-6 has a sport tuned suspension with increased spring rates and performance tuned damping and ultra high performance Michelin Pilot Sport tires: 225/40 ZR-18 (front) and 255/35 ZR-19 (rear). Also the ESP is specifically tuned for dynamic driving. Four ventilated disc brakes with dual-piston calipers should stop the fast Crossfire from 60 to 0 mph in approximately 115 feet.

The body of the Crossfire is enhanced with a fixed rear spoiler and a front fascia chin spoiler. In the interior there is a special instrument cluster with a 200-mph speedo, hinting at its performance bent. Pearl nappa leather sport seats with suede inserts and bolsters and embroidered 'SRT-6' on the headrests provide the sporty look. -Henny Hemmes

Hand Built Engine - sounds like that will be built by AMG. I like the fix spoiler on the car.

Hemi. what does it mean by understated performance? like those numbers are lower than what they actually are?

Remember: AMG built the power train and the suspension. A company that specializes in building cars by hand and being doing it for many years did the coachwork.

The down fall, from Chrysler, the 300 SRT version will be on the street soon after the SRT-6 with a beefier motor that will propel that 4K monster with the same times. The pricing will be in the low 40ish. Take your choice of which one would fit your lifestyle.

For me, I fond of four doors and it has finally grown on me for ease of use when throwing things in the back or quick jaunts by the daughter (third one).

The plus....it is AMG quality. If you haven't ridden in a AMG E55, then please do and you will find out why. It has a supercharger that can be modded for more power.
