"Hah, the difference is that the Crossfire is a good car.

I know...low blow...but the 1985 Fiero V6 in its stock specification was 2700 lbs with a 0-60 time just under 10 seconds. The 1985 Toyota MR-2 weighed 2350 lbs and was a bit over 2 seconds faster

The '85 gt I had did 0-60 in7.9 1/4 mile in 15.9 top speed 125 weight 2570lbs and trust me I could smoke my buddies MR2. My car had grunt, he had to rev his to 5000rpm and drop the cluth to even have a chance. Handling was close MR2 was a bit more agile and neutral. The fireo was roomy compared to the crossfire too! I would love to have one again!
I loved the balance of the mid-engine although it was a bear to work on. Whenever I got stuck on the ice, I just got out and pushed the car over a bit.
