suppose I should add here that it's not really fair calling the crossfire/srt6 american anyway, as it's mainly german!

I will keep this pithy. This car is ugly not to mention it has the look of an older Porshe or Carman Ghia

Gator,
you, like most people are basing your opinion o the car on the top gear review of the Crossfire, which I already agreed I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
the SRT6 is a completely different beast: different engine(hand built AMG 349 hp SC v6), different gearbox(also AMG) different suspension, brakes, the works, and also costs about twice as much. It'll get to 60 in around 4.7 secs.
It's understandable that people don't know much about them though, as their are less that 3000 in the world.

ANYHOO
so I think that's a decent competitor to the z!
incidentally, the guys at crossfireforum.org have already run against the 370 and won, but not by nearly as much as the 350.

Im going to assume you mean drag racing?



Z (as we have all seen through road tests by everyone who has got one) basically embarrasses every other car even remotely in the price range on a road track.

The Crossfire is a POS
