Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Test fitted a new set of rims on my car and this is what a 10.5" wide rim with a +27 offset looks like...
Sticks out a little, fills all the inside without rubbing at the moment, no spacer needed I hope once the tire is mounted.

The tire will still stay under the fender, Pic looks worse than what it is.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
When I got off work today at 4:30 it was an unbelievable 72 degrees. The wife and I met our son for an early dinner and she was really pushing for me to get the Crossfire out and put the top down. The problem is that the streets still have coating of salt but, even worse is the amount of course sand that is everywhere. In the end I decided not to get her out but, once we got home I did uncover her and let her run for a good half hour.
When I got in the car I put the key in gave it a turn and all I got was the usually dash lights. No crank, no click nothing. My heart sank, then I remembered, DEPRESS THE CLUTCH YOU MORON! I think I have been reading to many threads here about no start, engine dies and various other issues.

I hear ya. I have been driving my roadster with a stick all winter as a DD. This week I am driving the SRT to work. Twice I have depressed the clutch to downshift....almost putting the wife into the wind shield each time.
Seems one cannot double clutch an autostick There's a brake pedal where the clutch ought to be.

Nice day here, finally! SO....I got the Crossfire out of mothballs, cleaned it up a little (it didn't need much). It fired up on the first crank, so I let it idle a little and checked all the components to see if they still work (well most of them anyway) and then went for my first joyride in the car. This a simple N/A Roadster, but man was I impressed with the power this thing has and with how well it drove and responded to command. I really had no idea how well these cars perform when working properly. It really is more fun to drive than my Vette (which I sold by the way). I think I'll keep this one around until the sticky key problem stops me cold (lol). I can't really imagine how fast an SRT must be!!

My first drive at the local Chrysler dealership sealed that deal. However, you've got to be wary of law enforcement. My favorite time in the SRT-6 is merging with freeway traffic. People's eyes bug out.
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Took my 2nd decent road trip to ATL in the crossfire this past weekend. Drove like a dream (especially in that ATL traffic). Im getting used to the blind spot. I adjusted my mirrors in a way where once a car disappears in one mirror i can usually see it in the other.
Prior to that, I restored the headlights using a kit suggested on the boards. Worked great!
