I have owned my car 6+ years now. Still love it more than the day I got it. I used to drive it everyday and constantly recieved compliments. Especially when they first came out... they were unique and really stood out in the crowd.

Just this past weekend I took it out for a quick drive. I pulled into the wash bay to hose it off. When I started it up... what a beautiful sound from the engine and exhaust! Some people that were around started staring at the car.

 

yeah I know what ya mean ! Seems like every time Im getting gas someone always comments about the car from what is that, to man thats one sweet design !! Seems like the older guys always like it the most !!!

 

Lately I have been trying to keep my car away from people... lots of idiots on the road today. I was pumping gas and a guy wanted to be the next at my pump so he backed up on my car just a couple feet from my bumper. I thought he was going to keep going and hit my car. Where I live there are few people and wide open spaces.... no need to jam your car up against another. It is not the city!

But that one time I started the car it sounded very mean! At least, as mean as a V6 could sound. There was a guy nearby and he just kept staring at my car. For a second I thought he was going to try and steal it.

 

Went to Mcdonalds today for 50 cent ice cream cones. Drove the Black SRT6 Roadster and we met a black couple. We all agreed that black is beautiful. Their Cadillac is White. gary

 

my srt4 and srt6 get comments all the time. I just like that people arent always trying to race me in the xfire lol

 

A lot of people see the rear end of my cars!

 

I have always had black sports cars.... my black camaro looked great and went really fast when I beat on him.

But I prefer white because it doesn't get dirty. White also stays cool in the sun.
All around... the white color just works better.
At least for me down here in the dry south heat. And no leather!

 

I've had folks at the track come up and ask if I'm running NOS. They can't believe how fast it is with just a few simple bolt-ons. Love it when they say "Ive never seen an SRT-6 before and didn't know they made them".

 

While I get people looking at my Crossfire my wife's challenger gets twice as many comments from people now that it has the retro stripe down the side and the chrome gas cap.

 

I can believe that! I am not a fan of retro... even though the crossfire is kind of retro. Here is my opinion on the retro sports cars of today:

I don't mind the Mustang look but prefer the first style when it came out in 2005.

While I like the look of the new Camaro I am not crazy about it on that car. I won't buy one because it should have continued to progress further into something more sleek like the corvette.

As for the Challenger... that car is perfect for the retro look. I love it! A classic!

And the charger should be a 2 door sports car. Don't know why it is a 4 door car. End of story!

 

Here's one of my experiences.
During the CAA last year, Jake from Eurocharged was coming in and I chose to meet him at the exit ramp and lead him in to the HOTEL and our factory.

So for about 20 minutes I am on the side of the road. Top down on my wel ldetailed freshly washed and waxed Crossie roadster.

Quite a few guys and at least four pretty women stopped by in Vettes and other sproty cars, just to see if this ugly old fart needed some help. Yeah, they stopped by to see the car.

I have been stopped at the same place with my old 95 Dodge truck and had no one give a spit about it.

These cars are better babe magnets than a puppy.

 

I agree about the Camaro. It looks like they tried to copy the Mustang.

 

I am a product of the 80's so here is my opinion...

The Trans Am came out in the 80's with a new body style. Knight Rider. The hottest thing on the road at that time (other than the Vette and exotics). Sleek lines and awesome handling car. Camaro was a little more clumsy on the lines and interior.

Now the next generation was released. Even more sleek like the corvette. Im my opinion "the cheap mans vette" with extra seats in the back for kids. In my opinion an excellent car. The Mustang of the time outsold the Camaro.... DONT ASK ME WHY! The Camaro and Trans Am models were fabulous cars compared to the ugly Mustang.

Rather than continue the tradition with the new Camaro and progress... they steal the concept from the Mustang and go backwards. Just doesn't make sense to me.

 

The reason? She's better looking than you.

 

You undoubtably have a valid point there sir.

 

Gla you told us it was your cars rear end !!!! & not yours !!!!!! thank goodness !!!!!

 

totaly everyday someone looks at my car in awe or compliments me
