Yeah the drivetrain is a huge peice of ****. But the car is fast as all he!!.

Sonoros, the crossfire was leased, I turned it in last July. It was a great car and really taught me how to drive fast. It was also the best handeling car I have driver, and that includes my dads Jaguar XKR, model year 2007, as well as my friends sti, I think the xfire is the most underatted handeling car ever sold. I was quicker than everyone through the corners at California Speedway last year, including a porsche 911, model year 1995, and an evolution IX (as well as Hernans srt6, lol, just kidding buddy).

The mazda handles very well too, but fwd sucks. The car runs very lean and that's why the engine blew. There has since been a service bulletin to correct this, I am taking my car in on Thursday to have it done, then it's back to modding more. With a couple more mods (turbo manifold, upgraded tmic, downpipe) I will be making at least 300whp and trapping 113mph. I still want to sell it for a GTO though, lol, I have had a love affair with them since they came out, huge sleepers and they run 13 flat stock. Plus they love to get sideways and have one of the nicest interiors you have ever seen in an american car, I mean really plush and classy.


Oh, and I doubt those cars just burned to the ground. What has happened is that motors were literally dropping out of the car due to weak motor mounts, but if two cars burned to the ground I would have heard about it, I am always on the mazda forums, just stop by here every now and then to see how all you knuckleheads are doing.
