anybody know anything about the above car?

i read that the engine is an amg mercedes with a supercharger. but details are in short supply everywhere i have looked.

i have read several road tests about it and it has generally been treated roughly by the car mags.

in one test, they compared it to the audi tt awd. the crossfire (non srt) beat the audi soundly in all tests of performance including skid pad, slalom, braking and acceleration. the audi won in economy. the road testors basically said we like the audi better because we like the feel of the steering.

i have always liked them, and saw two competing at autocrosses last summer and they were impressive. if finances permit i might consider buying one or something similar like a bmw z coupe.

i am assuming that any suspension upgrades that fit an slk mercedes will fit the crossfire.

comments? sources for info on the amg engine?
