Not quite sure where all the venom is coming from, I figured odds are that most people here are adults.

As most things cars are very individualistic and fairly subjective (and I mean if you consider more then 0-60, top end speed, etc...).

Best of luck with your vette. I myself have personally owned a vette and have many friends that still do. I like them for WHAT they are, a muscle-car/mini-me super sports car. I would far rather be caught in a vette then a (modern) firebird/camaro!

I'm also amazed at how many people here consider the XF to be an awesome "performance" car. Don't get me wrong the crossfire has some nice performance but thats not its strong point. It has great grip with nice performance, good looks and low price-point. Definitely lots of bang-for-the-buck.

But I never once (even after driving my sisters for a weekend prior to my purchase) thought to buy the crossfire for its "performance". Its a quick little car thats alot of fun to drive. Only having my car for less then a month I have run into several occasions where I would have liked to have an extra 40-50hp/torque but no biggie.

As to the little P**** comment I've heard that before (vette, porsche and BMW) and just two weeks ago after a birthday brunch for a friends parents one member in the party (not knowing it was my car) pointed to my beautiful XF and motioned to the whole group with her two fingers in close proximity "kinda guy that drives that type of car must have a small P****!" I turned around and looked at my XF and said smiling "Naw...must be really tiny by now!".
