You see whether you like it or not the crossfire is generally an old man's car as it has mercedes backing... so at stock it is very quiet and the acceleration is almost untocieable if taking into the account how much power it has... as that is what old men like... and that is who a typical mercedes is made for.. the only young guy credentials in this car is the stiff suspension which is much stiffer than the mercedes counter parts.... one of the reasons i does not attract police attention as some other cars of its categorization.. as a typical person would not expect a young person to be in this car...
I have been working to remedy some of these issues by taking of such things as catalytic converters and resonator this will make your car a bit louder, but still not too loud.. I suggest to do this.. you will like it and it does not cost much... I plan on installing some performance parts such as headers and camshafts to make it a little rougher cause thats what the car needs, to make it more fun...
