I would've thought you would disagree with this analogy as well, especially since you seem to know a thing or two about a fine handling car.

The only comparison that an SRT can have with an FBody is brute torque and power - otherwise, they are so far apart that they shouldn't even be mentioned in the same paragraph. (yes, I've owned both, and still own two early 90's mustangs which are much the same as the FBods).

Please don't take a single comment of mine and apply it to nothing more than LouieLouie2000's comment about the F-body. My comments , if you read them all, referenced a comparison of a fine handling car to one that simply has more HP. We happen to own a 1992 Camaro RS (last year of the third gens that started production in 1982) so I know the car very well. There is no comparison whatsoever between the Crossfire and the Camaro - not in ride, comfort, speed, handling, braking, aesthetics, nothing.
