What I have noticed more is that there are a lot of cars and trucks that seem the need to express their "performance" by racing past me as I'm cruising along at 5-10 over the limit. I just smile, knowing that my car is barely breaking a sweat with lots more to give. If traffics clear (not rush hour) I might let the cars muscles flex a little and do a fly by on them. Cars still not working very hard, which I love.
For a stock car at this value, its great. One can always add mods if the "need" is there. However, I don't think I'll need to.
If you're disappointed, should have bought a Viper instead. But it takes a big pocket to afford it. Just my opinion.
To mod a regular Crossfire to 350+hp, it costs about as much as buying a Viper would. All you can do is change the exhaust, intakes, and add a chip. and that alone costs about $1,000+. $500 magnaflow + $400 merc intake + $200 chip. when you get into renntech mods, the cheapest upgrade is about $10k and you still don't break the 300 hp mark.
