Crossfire SRT6/slk32 AMG

Just thought I'd post up some pics of my SRT6-opinions?
It is of course just a SLK 32 AMG with a slightly different interior and different outside panels.
All performance figures are identical, except for the handling which is somewhat better due to increased torsional rigidity (real roof) and less weight (no roof mechanism)

I think the slk32 is suppose to have more horsepower, but that could just be on paper. I really think it depends on the looks that you like. Check out this slk32, I never was a big fan until I saw this car. Plus, the corssfire lacks some amenities that the slk comes with.

Nope and nope.
Chrysler had a gentlemans agreement to understate the horsepower, but they were actually the same. See here:
http://wikicars.org/en/Chrysler_Crossfire_SRT6

I am unaware of any amenities not shared.
The interiors are about 70 percent the same. Same dials, center console, seats (retrimmed in nicer Alacantra), etc.

My dad has an srt6 and I was comparing it to my c32. One of the main things that stood out to me was the lack of the heads up display in the odometer and the automatic lights. I figured that the slk32 would have the same features as my car.

I may have assumed wrong and I figured that the power thing was just on paper.

I always thought that all of them were similar. I was wondering if we could swap a c-class odometer into the srt-6 to give my dad the same functions that I have in my car. That would be cool. I would imagine that the setup should be pretty similar. I know the shape may be a bit different, but it would be a cool project if it worked.

Nice Crossfire.................what country are you in because they don't come with "CHRYSLER" lettered emblems on the rear bumpers here in the USA.


PS Here's mine.....

I believe some did.
Mine is one of those 30 or so '06 models, so some things are a bit weird.
I'm in Australia, BTW.
If you want to see some other cars you don't get in the states, see this other thread I put up!:
