Too much safety, what are you nuts? It's not the horsepower that will kill you it is speed that will punch your ticket. I for one really appreciate the safety features incorporated into the Crossfire especially when cruising on a mountain road or coastal highway and come up on a curve while you're doing 2X the posted speed and catch a little gravel or you have deer pop out on the road. The car may not be as powerful as others in it's class but it sure can handle curves and is very stable even in emergency circumstances.
