Yes, it is quite amusing that the McLaren SLR had the same score as an '04 Crossfire ...
Also, when the head instructor for the HPDE groups at the NASA event I went to in November with HDDP took my SRT6 out ... I asked him... 'So, is there anything I need to change to make this thing more race worthy?' His answer 'Better brake pads... beyond that... leave it alone until you plan on stripping it down like your buddy.'
These cars are performers off the showroom floor... even the Base and Limited models... The reviewers of the 'Top Gear' show thought the car was 'rubbish'. I think they've been driving WAY too many super cars and exotics.
I love my Crossfire... and to H-E-double hockey sticks with the reviews.
