i will keep it in mind. if i were to get one i probably would do tires for autocross and maybe a catback exhaust only.

I like the looks of the Crossfire and find the cabin comfortable and the ride is pretty smooth for such a small car. I am not somebody who needs to corner at high speed, though on the interstate I enjoy going 80+ when the conditions are favorable. I am not ignoring the prof driver's opinions, but those guys look for handling attributes at extremes that I am unlikely to approach.

The Crossfire is a car I'm considering when I (sniff) pass my E320 to my next kid as she learns to drive.

the crossfire is no slouch in cornering either. it matches the mini in the road and track slalom speed and is really only beaten by such seriously compromised cars as the lotus seven clones and the lotus elise.

i think the road test guys pan it because it has reciprocating ball steering and doesnt have the immediate response off dead center that rack and pinion has. personally i find the rack and pinion a little too nervous.

the crossfire is 80% mercedes, built in austria. it is hard to find much that is american. the body, wheels and steering wheels perhaps. the chassis engine tranny and rear end is all pure mercedes.

i am hot for one!

the srt6 is a corvette challenger if not beater in a more compact wieldy package.
