Default Motorweek Video of the 2005 Chrysler Crossfire

I had never seen this one before:



The best line is at the end "The Daimler Chrysler marriage is built to last!"

First I've seen this one. Thanks.

Noted that they said, "The SRT is mated to an upgraded high torque 5 speed automatic transmission".
Is that an upgrade from a NA trans? I thought they were the same till now.

Oh yeah.
Noticed they used "MY" coupe for the video. Not some BLACK car!

That's because Chrysler refused to let their best color be loaned to come so-so from Motorweek... so they chose a lesser color. like graphite.

Thanks for posting. After the original I noticed links to other Crossfire clips. The NA burnouts are kinda cool as is the 0 to 160 run.

Great find.

It's too bad they didn't even mention Chrysler introduced the roadster in 2005...which also was available as a SRT-6.
