Default Crossfire MRX?

So I recently got into a friendly run with a crossfire, and it had some badges on the back that said something like MRx? Or something. I really don't know what the letters mean or even if they said what I think they said....

Anyone let me know what is the meaning is or what the letters are...

This car looked to be decently modified with wheels, suspension, loud exhaust, and more? (might have had more done but I don't know much about these cars)

So how bad did he get spanked? Or did you. That clue, and what you were driving, would help us tell you what you were up against.

What color was the Crossfire?

People have a history of badging these things with anything and everything. I'm not mad at 'em, just letting you know, haha...

Well statistically, because of the fact that there's very few SRT6's on the road, it was probably a modified N/A Limited or Base. Did it have the fixed rear spoiler or the smaller retractable one?

MRX means basically nothing when it comes to the Xfire. There's no nomenclature that exists for this car that includes "MRX". As you probably already deduced, it's probably just some finishing touch on some person's modded-out Xfire.

Wasn't really driving wreckless. Never got over 75. Ave speed was like 50 on a 60mph freeway. I was hoping to get it to be a race, but we never had an opportunity to get there.

makes jokes or insults, i don't really mind. I was more asking what the badges ment...

There was a goodlookin' 53 caddi intheclip.

The car was an NA for sure. Aside from the finn and wheels, an SRT would have been MUCH quicker

Modded, the NA can approach 280 HP.
The SRT starts unmodded stock at 330HP.

Some guys here are pushing over 400 HP.

just badges they stuck on there, maybe from autozone or something.

you should take it to the roadcourse and learn how to drive fast, much safer and 1000000000000000x more fun.

With the numbers of "HP" you are saying are those CHP or WHP?

His spoiler never went up? Usually goes up at 62 mph. Looked like a Machine Grey NA...maybe Graphite? Can't see the badges...

Those are Crank. On a 3300 lb chassis.

My NA pushes 197HP at the wheel
My SRT pushes 320HP at the wheel

Some guys have done much better.

AMX (in this case) stands for, "A Mercedes eXperimental" or "A Mopar eXperimental".......take your pick.

There's only two of us on the forum that shares this dilusion.
One car is killer fast, the other one is a poseur.
It's as simple as black and white.

What kind of TQ are these cars putting down?

NA is a V6? SRT6 is a turbo'd v6?
