I traveled to Puerto Rico to see the car culture and met some pretty awesome people. However over the decades there have been some weird oddball performance cars throughout history and when I ran in to this Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 I knew I had to get my hands on it. This SRT6 is one of the few truly modified versions I've ever seen, and the amount I learned about this very weird car the more it made me curious and interested. After completing this in depth review, I can definitely say it is one of the strangest but coolest ideas Chrysler ever had while working with Mercedes of all people. Thanks for watching!

Welcome to Puerto Rico. Land of the...most SRT6’s? What a weird car.
ThatDudeinBlue the Crossfire looks like an SLK... because they used the R170 platform from the previous-gen SLK at the time. It’s like 80% Benz.
ThatDudeinBlue u been to PUERTO RICO MORE THAN ME AN IM PUERTO RICAN I NEED TO GO BACK ASAP
Please come to Aibonito, lol.
Those yellow lettered Toyos have got to go! Yuck.
Boricuas in the house!
We boricuas take the ugliest and slowest cars and turn into badass gems.
What’s it like owning a Crossfire?
"Is that a Porsche”
"Is that a Bentley”
"I’ve never seen one of these”
"I like your car”
Some people hate it, most people love it. A lot of people don’t own them, which means you don’t see them on the road very often, main reason I got mine.
Ben Anderson bro this happens to me everywhere I go haha I get kids who give it weird looks and go “what is that?” I said this was before your time lol
Payton Conlon "before your time” I love it 😂😂 definitely a car that deserves more credit
How’s the maintenance costs on one of these ??
Asking 4 frand
Reason why I want to turn my car to a kit car. Feels nice to have your car stand out
Sterling Archer Well most places will charge Mercedes prices, it can get unreasonably expensive to have someone do the work. However, I find it worth it for driving something that you don’t see every block.
The crossfire was always that odd car that I liked for some reason
True
Is a great design
Looks so good in nardo grey
I liked it in gta 5 lol
ay i have a 83 celica supra
For this guy to upgrade a cross fire srt6 this man has my respect for sure
🙇♂️
Tauror Collection felicidades bro ! Tu carro es más famoso ahora jajaaj
I've only seen one where I live and its been run into the ground
Making the Crossfire look better and should of been
I don't like them in my opinion there really ugly but everyone has a different taste in cars
You do realize...Mercedes did actually own Chrysler when that car was made? It is essentially a badge engineered Benz.
Annnnnd now it all makes sense now. Thanks so much dude.
Wrong. Actually Mercedes and Chrysler never owned each other. It was more of a partnering. Like they just merged with each other.
Actually I’m pretty sure it was on the c230 coupe chassis.
Mercedes handed down the SLK R 170 chassis to Chrysler and then the SLK R171 chassis

My uncle had one, he had to sell it because of medical bills. passed away 3 years ago. we always thought it ironic he owned one bc he was a Ford engineer for 20+ years.
Mike Hunt Rip to your uncle ,how old was he ?
RIP sorry for your loss man
Sorry about your uncle 😞 god bless
Anonymous69 He was 51. Two kids, 17 & 15 and a wife. He was My Grandma's youngest. Devout Religious family. Just the luck of the draw. thanks for all Your thoughts everyone.
Don’t really care lol hahaha
I'm hyped that the crossfire are getting the recognition they deserve
Same here!
Especially with the dodge magnum since they are now coming to light at the moment, cause believe or not, those who owner the magnum, had modified and customized the magnum body to look like a 2023 dodge charger or a challenger with the front and back ends, it's crazy.
Srt6 use the same motor as the c32 amg and slk32 amg. Srt6 with just Pulley intake tune cooling and drag tires will run 11.8 11.9 1/4 times
I've personally seen this. It's awesome
Still ugly 😭
That’s slow
@@DikeLover that's a few tenths off of a stock R35 GTR..
Steve anaya slow huh? What do you have?
Finally giving this car the credit it deserves....easily one of the rarest and unseen Srt’s on the road 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Aside from the Magnum and Chrysler 300 SRT's, this Crossfire is definitely the rarest of them all!
This just made me feel like crap about my little base model 😂. I installed a cup holder though so I feel as if i won.
Lol, I've got a 6 speed myself, and while it isn't the MOST amazing car, you throw some Koni's and the srt sway bar on it and you have a monster cornering machine that makes any back road a ton of fun.
Lol i have a White 2004 Chrysler crossfire LTD
The crossfire actually looks good. I don't know why people say it looks like a dog taking a poop.
Try to look at is assss.. something taking a poop that you feel the need to pet.
I never heard that one 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because people are morons.
the number after the “SRT” badging just represents the number of cylinders, i.e. just like the ones you mentioned but forgot the SRT 10 in the Viper and Ram that had a V10 (FOR THOSE DIDNT KNOW)
And if you didnt know. You may have downs
😂😂😂
kyle n 😂😂
And they also stopped doing that after the hellcat and use names now. SRT Hellcat, SRT Trackhawk, etc
@@sergiowolfpac There's no SRT in Trackhawk, it's just simply Trackhawk
For a reason I can't explain, I always secretly love the SRT6
The 5 dislikes are regular crossfire owners 😂
🤣
Or Mustang owners
For sure 😂😂
but don't offend any Mustang owners ... since the owner of the CrossFire SRT-6 has two Mustangs New Edges and a third Mustang will arrive in six weeks ... and that Mustang will be the 2020 GT500
@@guillermodiaz884 I wonder how many crowds he will hit
I had one of these cars a few years ago. Such a fun and amazing vehicle. Very expensive to maintain though. They actually came with 350hp stock. And they make power so easily. Thanks for the review David!
330 hp
How unreliable are they?
I've been looking at some with around 50,000 miles
I own an N/A 6 speed mt.. had the car over a year now and as far being able to reliably get from point a to b has never been an issue.. however these cars tend to have electrical issues. Some worse than others I’d highly recommend checking the xfire forums to see common issues to know what to spot before you buy
Marco Arreola The car makes 349 HP. It was downplayed by MB
Back then, we had the Crossfire, both hardtop and roadster, and they rented surprisingly well. They were some fun cars to drive, as it's related to that generation SLK. Can't imagine how fun the SRT6 is to roll.
The SRT-6 has a noticeably harsher ride which is most often cured by installing KONI adjustable shocks. It was harsh enough that I decided to buy a Limited (normally aspirated) Crossfire. You need a young body to withstand the pounding the OE SRT-6 suspension will give you!
@@Matt_from_Floridaif I had such car, if buy some better performance ajustable stocks for it and ditch the stuffs one out, then it would be a good ride, even the dodge magnum had it's issues but nowadays, we have the parts, tool, body kids and technology to counter those issues.
It’s like listening to the Macarena . No one wants to admit they like it , but secretly love it! 😂
What is wrong with you? That shit was always annoying. Fuck that noise. That's all that song is. Noise.
I hardly ever see them here in Texas. But, the Mercedes lineage is awesome in my book. They make solid cars, so it makes sense to borrow some good things when you have a partnership. Heck, even the current ground pounders like the Charger and for Chrysler the 300 wouldn't exist today without Mercedes!
You need to do a review on the Chrysler 300 SRT8.
Matt maran motoring has a video on it. He did a good job with that video.
No he doesn't
@Cockstruction Worker see you get it
Yea I got one 😍
He definitely needs to make a Review on it! Including a Magnum SRT8!
That yellow belt is sure outta place lol
Fr.
I thought it was his shirt 😂
He has yellow accents on the exterior but yeah it’s bright as hell.
Those Crossfire's were always so underrated. I would've loved to have had one in their hay day. Super fun and zippy to drive
Wow, I’ve always hated crossfires, but this looks MEAN
❤
Absolutely
This was the first car I really liked as a kid, cool to see one so well modded 15ish years later
Holy crap I just realized you sorta look like a younger Jeff Gordon
when I realized your comment and looked at him. Oh shit he does.
it’s not a bad thing I just thought the resemblance was uncanny
No
The video came out sick! Love it!
That yellow pops
Great color choices
Sounds great too!
They look good, have a very unique shape. This crossfire is the very first I seen modified 👍😎✨
All the red under the hood should be yellow to match the car.
Thank you so much for hanging out at our Beautiful Island of Puerto Rico. It's nice to see someone doing great things with their cars no one else would think to do. Again! Gracias.
Super cool car, I remember seeing these on the road for a very small about of time and always gravitated to them. Nice to see an "SRT6" version I had no idea actually existed. Well done. Beautiful car.
I have a beautiful red/black Crossfire convertible, 17,000 miles, 2005 that runs like a mini jet! Now’s your chance to purchase this fine tuned, fun and sexy car!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
For me its normal watching these videos on back roads and highways in the US, but seeing (minute 2:07) the ECONO supermarket in the background, that makes me a prouder puertorican ❤🙋🏻♂️
I always like seeing these in the wild, I think we're over due for another SRT6 product.
my grandfather has this car just not the srt6 version and I want one so bad😭 I've been with him and his car since day 1 since he got the crossfire 2 weeks after I was born, always loved it, always will
The first factory supercharged Ford was also a V6. The Thunderbird Super Coupe. Highly slept on car. Very fast for their time and super comfortable. Would love to see you review one sometime.
Years ago my brother was building and racing drag cars on the side as a hobby (He's a mechanic)
One day he got his ass kicked in the 1/4 mile in his purpose built G-body by a stock looking crossfire that was apparently VERY built, and he's been salty about it ever since.
Since hearing that story years ago I chuckle out loud a little bit everytime i see a crossfire
The "Schyster Fusilade" from Grand Theft Auto V that everybody always seen in the street, stole, destroy and later customized.
I allways liked this car secretly🤫
It's a super cool car and would love to see one at the drag strip. They weren't the only Chrysler SRTs, and also made many 300 SRT8s FYI. They stopped making them for the US market though, but are still available overseas
I didn't even realize they made an SRT6 version of this car. Very cool car.
There is a guy in Kansas building an LS turbo Crossfire with a t-56 and mustang rearend
Heck ya man love the videos and the editing 👌you never see these...thank you!
Okay, okay, I’ll admit it. The Crossfire was always that one oddball car that I’d love to own. SRT-6 with a 6-speed manual? Yes please. The want is real lol.
Buckeye 392 very easy to do, all you need is the 6 speed from a c320 c class and clutch and flywheel plus fiddling with the ecu...but Mercedes manual transmissions aren’t the strongest, best to search on google for m112 engine manual transmission adapter plates to run something stronger like a getrag 420g or a Nissan 5 or 6 speed
The crossfire is my FAVORITE car. No exceptions, it Made my day to see this
Isn´t this this weird car from GTA V?
No, the car from GTA V is from this.
My favorite drift car, the fusilade
@@rickyst3am6oat94 it was my first car in online by accident :D
No, this is the weird car from Chrysler
@@0554joe I think that it look ok in RL, but in the game its just so odd.
TaurorCollection as always the car looks sick! But fix the splitter.
I had driven both the SRT 6 and the Crossfire many times. When I recently went shopping for one I drove several and decided to buy a the Limited with a manual 6 speed, it was simply more fun to drive and half the price of an SRT 6. Driving a faster car with an automatic is fine, but not as much of an enjoyment for me. It has become trendy to put down the Crossfire, but I have driven everything under the sun since 1972, and it's one of the best made, fun to drive, reliable cars for the money out there today.
My daily driver getting some love on youtube :)
I've driven a v6 crossfire... But not an SRT6... I didn't know that they made one! They are indeed quick, and weirdly cool cars😄
I got this car at an auction in ct for 3200 to sale at our lot.. never made it there! I kept it for myself. It was a convertible. I love this car! So much fun with the tops down. It runs perfectly. Still have it till this day!
3:17 BUMP!
That is pretty much my daily commute 🤷🏻♂️
This car looks like it comes from Burnout Revenge. The rims just set it off so nicely.
I know this is a bit late, but this may be the best use of an imported engine I haveever seen. I have a 2002 AMG C32 (0-60 is 4.7), the vehicle housing the hand-built original examples of the engine mass produced for the srt6 and the engine that started Dodge's power craze. Mopar used the AMG V6 Kompressor m112k to begin a horsepower war in the automotive world. The AMG one has 349HP/332TQ, slightly higher than the SRT6, a ruling likely handed down by upper management.
I have always liked the SRT6 and test driven it a couple of times. It's so much fun to driven especially on a closed course. Interior is pretty bland but love the exterior! Problem is getting work done it since Chrysler and Mercedes divorced. Chrysler and Mercedes dealers do not like working on it. Wish there were a better aftermarket to spruce up the interior.
Actually very cool. I always thought there was some untapped potential in those odd looks to the hardtops.
Chrysler should try make another Crossfire with twin trubo pentastar v6 or supercharged pentastar , it would hell of a gt car.
This ^
Your so lucky puerto Rico I want to move to 🇵🇷
Jeremy Clarkson said, That The rear end of the Chrysler Crossfire looks like a dog bending down to take a Shit. But this video makes me want one now
He can say the same thing with all porsche 911...
I think the crossfire SRT6 is better looking than the SLK32 AMG. That motor is awesome though. M112K
You never see a srt-6 because there were less than 4500 total ever made. Even when somebody does see one they think it is a regular crossfire. If your modded it is the ultimate sleeper. I plan on swapping a m113k (supercharged v8 version of the v6 motor) into mind one day. Simple bolt on’s afterwards and it’s a 10 second sleeper.
SRTology I wanted to do that to mine but I’m not sure if the 6 speed trans can handle the power or not.. might just do bigger objectors throttle body tune sprint booster and cai if I can’t find a feasible way to get the 113k into my car
Injectors* and cat back exhaust
I’ve seen a NA m113 with a manual put in the crossfire. I’ve also seen 5.7 hemi swaps auto and manual and somebody even stuff a Mercedes v12 in a crossfire. I don’t know if you can do a m113k with a manual as all the kompressor motors only came with autos.
I'm very familiar with the N/A 55 with the six speed build. Rcompart and I built it. It had a custom manufactured clutch and the torque of V8 still over powered the clutch.
I have the very first M113K AMG V8 Crossfire Roadster ever built in the United States and that engine still destroys the AMG five speed automatic (on my third one now) so I can tell you with absolute certainty the six speed from a N/A wouldn't survive the first pull out of the driveway with a M113K...
This brought back memories! Back in the day I had a MB SLK32 which was the twin under the skin of the Crossfire SRT6.
Someone needs to put a scat pack or hellcat motor in that crossfire. That would be interesting.
Its so interesting to see how similar the Crossfire resembled the Mercedes SLK model. This car was produced when Mercedes owned Chrysler.
post more variety like this car, want to see something different besides mustangs
Wagon Attack I do not mean this in a mean way, but the previous reviews of the the past month have been a LS Starion, Itasha Scion xB, 500HP EG civic, Tacoma turbo swapped Corolla,trans am, a police interceptor, and a trackhawk with the only two videos of me fixing my mustang. If that isn’t variety I don’t know what is.
@@ThatDudeinBlue oof gottem
I didn’t know about the SRT6 model until I met a guy at my buddy’s shop that was installing an intercooler. Went for a ride and it’s pretty quick and such an unsuspecting platform.
I remember loving these cars when they first came out as a kid, because they reminded me of the Taxi on the movie The Fifth Element. Lol
That SRT-6 looks pretty SICK👍🏻👍🏻. Never even heard of one or seen one before until in this video so thanks for that TDIB🙏🏻.
The crossfire SRT6 convertible stock is even better looking and head turner , a very rare car and definitely a future collectible. I had mines for 5 years, still only 35,000 miles on the clock.
I think these are great, and similar to the rare factor of my first ride. My first car was a Altima SE R back when they were new in 05. Very unique, and did very well for it’s time period. Keep up the good work sir!
Re-release it today with the same updates to styling as the 300C and a turbo 3.6. Such an underrated-looking car. I'd say make a new motor so it can stay 3 valve (3 valve engines just seem to sound good, and not much worse theoretical performance than 4 valve) but they definitely won't make a whole new engine when they can just drop a Pentastar in it.
It's crazy how that car from Burnout Revenge looks like it
Here in southern Illinois close to me there are at least 5
Guy I work with owmed one of these Crossifires for about a year.. Didnt really do much to it but headers and straight pipe... Thing was RAD.. they look great, they sound good... it wasnt very fast but it was quick enough... I like these things.
This is why I love the Crossfire. Stock it doesn’t look that good. BUT MODDED holy shit it’s beautiful
The Neon SRT4 engine was not at all similar to a Mitsubishi engine. And the Crossfire was an SLK that was restyled by Chrysler during the time Daimler Mercedes Benz owned a controling share of Chrysler. Nothing remotely weird about it.
Yea I noticed that mistake as well. The A855 was designed and engineered entirely by Chrysler. It’s essentially a reworked/boosted 2.4 out of the standard 2gen neon.
The Caliber Srt4, Hyundai Genesis and the Mitsubishi Evo X have the same engine block. It’s called the world engine. The internals are different etc.
CarMeets that’s correct however nobody is disputing that. We’re pointing out the mistake David made regarding the Neon srt4... it has nothing to do with Mitsubishi.
Got ya. He was wrong about the Neon Srt4 but right about the Caliber Srt4. If this helps James, both Srt4’s had Mitsubishi Turbos. 😂
CarMeets Gates made the timing belts for both car as well 😆🤣 who’s James btw?
This was my first Chrysler I ever owned.. it was fast for its time.. traded it eventually lol!
TaurorCollection's SRT6 looks sick☺
Thanks for this videos , it make feel like i wanna go back home to puerto rico , they can make magic with any car
Have always loved the crossfire
I drove a Crossfire thru the Tail of the Dragon i.e. US 129 a few summers ago. I was actually quite impressed by the handling it had but the power just wasn't there. Still a cool car tho.👌🏽
Crazy this seems like a decent platform and they are not expensive at all
Finally someone reviews a crossfire. I had an SRT6 until it was rear ended and totaled. Car spent most of its life on trailer but damn was it a good car.
My dad almost bought one of these. Thankfully he bought a 06 GTO instead.
Wrong choice gto is a turtle my Srt6 proves that
The 06 gto was based on the holden monaro of the same year right? If so they were a boaty piece of trash that was all engine with terrible handling
Funny the srt6 can easily keep up with the GTO
@@DreCarFinder not an 06 lol... 06 will pull and pull and pull past one of these like a freight train
@@DreCarFinder not an 06 lol... 06 will pull and pull and pull past one of these like a freight train
I always thought these cars were ugly but I actually like the look of this one.
That destroyer grey on that looks sick
The Crossfires are German cars. German parts and built in Germany 🇩🇪. Of coarse in mopar disguise.
Curb your nationalism Heinrich
So I ended up buying the ‘07 Roadster version of the Crossfire a week ago with pretty low mileage and a fair bit of aftermarket parts already and while I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea I absolutely love it. It’s just different and I’ve always liked the odd/uncommon.
I love that CrossFire SRT-6, it's a badass car thanks @ThatDudeinBlue to make a review to the car of my favorite youtuber @Tauror Collection❤️💪
Puerto Rican here living in Ohio I miss my beautiful island so much hope you enjoyed it
He's tipping the hat to his future generations of Mopar. Much respect if you get it.
The wk1 srt8 jeep was also a platform share with the Mercedes M class SUV to include the ML63 AMG. Hope to see you review one. I volunteer my turbo srt8 jeep 😁😎
I've always liked the crossfire. It was such an odd car people overlooked them.
Mopar/domestic guys didn't like them because it's actually a Mercedes and import guys didn't like it because it said "Chrysler" on it.
AXEN & HYLO- Habits
For those of you who were wondering and since it's not in the description.
The SRT6 is an odd cat and I like it
I have never seen an SRT6 here in PR, lol. Must be San Juan.
Hay varios por la isla. 2 en mayaguez, y hay uno convertible escondido, los otros si son del area metropolitano. Hay 7 Srt6 en PR.
@@TaurorCollection Yo soy de Aibonito y e visto hasta un R32 pero nunca un SRT6, jajaj.
That exhaust had some mad wobble!!! Lol that motor is basically a c320 kompressor!, same benz cruise control lever aswell, I wouldn’t mind a srt6 with the 6spd
I love how the splitter points up 😂
It’s a nice little car , I like rare cars you
Brought an interesting one forsure 👍🏾
These actually seem cool now
I'd love to try to build one of these
Its a amg in disguise
I love the look of the crossfire it’s very unique even though it wasn’t that popular. I love in Minnesota if I didn’t I would probably already have one
Crossfire Srt6 is well respected in NC more modded than the one you drove
Lol
