      Not uncommon at all. My first car was a 2010 Camaro SS 6 speed with 426bhp at 16. (Parents had it for a few years before I got my license and gave it to me.) I know a lot of teenagers in highschool and college with 350+ hp sports and muscle cars. Insurance is expensive, but there’s some ways to get around it. Charger RTs for example have like 370hp and are decently cheap to insure as they’re a 4 door sedan.

    Mines a 2004 6 speed coupe. Some day, I plan to try a swap to either the SRT motor or a NA merc V8 as it will need an engine eventually. No real reason to sell it as it's not worth much, so I'll probably keep it going as long as possible, modding as things fail.
    For now though, some good plugs and tires, K&N air, stripped trunk and headliner and anything else not essential, lightweight battery (maybe 80 - 100 pounds shaved off?) and replaced and upgraded fuel pump have made it exceptionally fun. I've put close to 30K miles on it coming to 190K total now. In almost two years only had the fuel pump go out and that's it. I kinda need wheels but these are extremely expensive to actually improve upon and they are still round so whatever. It is definitely a touring kind of car, not really a canyon carver but damn it feels good on the highway and can definitely corner even on the replaced but stock suspension, which is probably the stiffest stock suspension of any vehicle I've been in... to a fault really. I've heard people say they feel squishy and flexing a bunch. Maybe the roadsters, but the coupe feels pretty stiff all around. The steering is one thing if at all possible I will be trying to improve, but over all a blast to own so far for a $3000 car with 157K when I bought it. Slides around pretty good too >:)
    I would think I would be the one to run into all the nightmarish issues I keep hearing about given the miles and two very uh.. demanding owners before me, another demanding owner. Oh well, cant hear it over the best V6 sounds ever in my experience.

  • @kroffustsnail
    @kroffustsnail 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    60s "steering box" = recirculating ball. You either have rack and pinion or a recirculating ball box. The differences in older systems have to do with how the Pitman arm and drag link(s) are arranged.

  • @Levibetz
    @Levibetz 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Zack, recirculating ball steering is a fancy ass name for gearbox steering. The mustang you drove would have been rack and pinion. Mustang IIs and foxbodies are rack and pinion. The two main types of gearbox steering are worm and wheel and recirculating ball. Recirculating ball is infinitely better than worm and wheel, but still not excellent. Worm and wheel is downright scary, that's what you get in old beetles, and some really early american stuff (pre-mid 60s ish). Like a C1 corvette has worm and wheel. But most wollowy old American cars rock recirculating ball gearboxes.

    I had one for a few years. The rear tires are very expensive. Also, oil changes averaged around $100. (Not at Mercedes dealership ) The oil was a weird weight, at least by American standards. Lastly the oil filter is mounted on top of the engine so you have to be sure if serviced that the filter is tightened properly, otherwise you will be replacing the super charger belts. (Not cheap)

It was black, and had some sort of aero or active wing on the back and I was STAR STRUCK. Of course as I got older and got my first car watched top gear and just never thought the crossfire was cool again, til a couple years ago (I’m 23 now) and I first started thinking about and saving up for a small sports car.

    The rocket pack was destroyed. It was leaking fuel and went up in flames as Nevil Sinclair took off from the zeplin

    I have just now come across this channel. And I know this is years old but two things - I own a tuned SRT6 roadster myself and it still today turns heads wherever I go and can outrun most modern vehicles 2) the host is as obnoxious as can be, has a minimum amount of knowledge on this vehicle or AMG vehicles. And what's worse, basically insults Theo every chance he gets. It's literately sad that a channel with this many subscribers knows so little about cars but in particular what he is sitting in - the M112K engine was one of the best AMG engines ever built together with the M113K that came after (same engine but two cylinders more). This guy is the perfect example as to why the Crossfire was so misunderstood and also the reason why you can purchase these with low miles still today for an amazing price. Put $1500 of tuning parts in (Needswings cold air intake, smaller pulley, ECU tune and split cooling) and you have yourself a monster on the streets and a vehicle of which roughly 2500 were ever built.

      Well you can technically buy Ohlins race spec kit 'off the shelf' but I know what you mean :-)

    This is a great first sports car. I had a Grand Prix, then a Cummins, then I got a Crossfire my senior year. comparable a 350z but faster than all the civics, eclips, and other wanna be FastnFurious kids at the time. I had mine up over 140 on a pretty regular basis(lived in the country river bottoms).

    My dad has a very similar car to this. If only they could’ve had a manual trans that could handle the srt6’s hp. Does this LSD?

    I had a white original SRT-6 with 485 bhp 380 rwhp with paddles, red seatbelts, ground control full suspension, killer chiller AC, pulley , tune, air, lowered. I started the www.srt-6.com website and registered 1000+ cars. Check it out. Car is now sold but very quick indeed. Fun build but that wing must be doing too much drag. We made a gold one too for track too. Redline is 6500+ if u do tune. Ground control, eurocharged and needswings are companies to use.

    Never did understand the hate on these cars (cosmetically, anyway). I think they look great. In fact better than the slk. Other than needing a stick and more power, I think they’re awesome.

    Mercedes didn't take 20hp, it was a marketing/PR ploy not to piss off Mercedes owners. They could essentially have the same car in the STR6 for 10'000$ less. Actually the car has better cooling stock over the slk32 amg. 349hp for slk32 and c32, around 362hp for the SRT6. Tests have been done showing said differences. So many misconceptions about these cars. Mercedes didn't give a rats ass about Chrysler during the merger. Just look into the Chrysler MEfour-twelve story. A car that even by todays standards would be a beast.

    Beautiful SRT6. Best I've seen. Black is the only color for these IMHO>

    Why'd he mount his splitter rods to the body and not the chassis....? For road course, auto cross, and time attack vehicles you definitely want to have those chassis mounted for maximum effect.

  • @elihughes9566
    @elihughes9566 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool build. Nothing really unique about it besides the aero kit when looking at other SRT6 withing the community. But I'm sure he's not done with it so it'll be cool to see where he takes it.
