Why are so many "young" Crossfire owners so cynical when it comes to the Crossfire?
JP2005, I don't mean to single you out, but I've read comments like yours many times on this forum, and it's usually made by a young male, 25 years old or less, who doesn't think the Crossfire will ever amount to much in the future automotive history books.
The Crossfire is by no means a "world beater" but it can do alot of "sports car" related things well, and even better than some cars costing 3 or even 4 times as much. It can go through a slalom course faster than a Ford GT, Lamborghini Gallardo, Acura NSX, or an Aston Martin Vanquish.
It can stop from 60 mph faster than alot of other "sports cars" too.
There are a lot more sports cars out there that an SRT-6 can out accelerate, than there are that could beat it.
None of us "old timers" thought we would ever see the outrageous prices that some of the old "muscle cars" are bringing now a days either. But no matter how large the production #'s were, they still bring strong money at auctions all over U.S. because the demand is there.
I know in my life time, I probably won't get to see the Crossfire become a "Hot Property", I may not even get to see it sell for more than it originally cost. But I bet 30 years from now, most Crossfire owners in 2037 will be glad they own one. (That is if we still produce gasoline, that the "average person" can afford.
I'm glad to hear this since i myself am 24 yrs old and i posted this thread! There's just something inside that tells me "this one's a keeper". Now i've owned other sports cars and i even worked in a HUGE dealership for 3 yrs; driving a wide range of cars (you name it)! So the sheer unpopularity of dis car and not seeing so much of them on the street or in dealerships, or service bays... attracts me to this car all the more. I HIGHLY respect and listen to my elders b/c their knowledge is PRICELESS so i'm glad you posted this message and it assures me on my "gamble" to have chosen this car as a collectible!
- Regards!
