has anyone ever put a 360 in one of these? or heard of anyone doin it? id like to know about any struggles he or she ran into while in the process. other than the obvious, cause the inside of the car is all mercedes. I'd like to know about any engine package anyone has heard of puttin in one. any info helps, thank you.

I am 6' and don't fit in it. Work on 100's of these things. I work at the dealership. Very uncomfortable car to me.Hard to get in and out of. Man should have his man card taking away. For even owning one. let alone likening it ! NOT a mopar in any shape or forum.

A lot of woman bought them. and I get them from all around.Seems no one want's to work on them. Even other dealers. I have one woman that has 110.000 miles on hers . Parts are not cheap. heck a tune up cost 500.00. 12 plugs at 22 each.plus wires and air filters. NAG trans.. leaking connectors. blower motor resisters are bad in them. if I was a woman would be a cool car. Just not me..sorry. Heated seats in them are other nightmare. I should of said I worked on them 100s of times. not sure many of them are running around or how many I have work on more than once.
I hear all of that! I'm 6' and don't have a problem though. They are like Corvettes - big threshold to climb over. "Not a Mopar in any shape or form"? Chrysler has been a [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] to so many other car company's over the years you need a score card to keep track.
The X-fire, as under powered as it is in it's non SRT state, is still a pretty cool driver. On a closed coarse it will blow the doors off of any old Mopar, and at speed ( 130+ ) it is rock solid - as compared to my Cordoba, which is just plane scary! 
Like comparing cars from different planets, even though they both say Chrysler.
