Default Re: 12 Sparkplugs!!! Did you know this?

P.S. Laugh a little - Don't take this too seriously. It's a car after all.
Well, actually, the Xfire (SRT-6 at least) is a serious performance car. I challenge anyone to argue that point! Seems C and D magazine would agree since the SRT won a heads up comparo against a Boxter S and a Nismo 350 Z.

Vipers are fast, but C'mon, anything would be fast with a big lump of a truck engine stuffed in the engine compartment. Vipers are like modern interpretations of the old Muscle car. Little car with big motor make speed. I know, I have a 1965 Chevelle that runs mid 11s.
