Re: Crossfire Use Poll
Well, I guess I need to go get a hat like that then and so do the rest of you!
I am always astonished by the ingnorance and lack of common sense portrayed on this site by some people. Sure, everyone is entitled to their opinions; however, sometimes it is better for those opinions to remain with one's self.
Like it or not, if you drive a Crossfire, you are driving a sports car. Further more, I'm not sure how calling a car a sports car is trying to impress anyone. It's a type of car. I call a pick-up a pick-up, I call a SUV a SUV, I call a sedan a sedan, and I call a sports car a sports car.
Nothing says that a sports car must accelerate in less than 4 seconds, no where does the definition of a sports car state that a sports car must have over 400 hp.
Let's see, if a car is built for the main purpose of sport driving, it is probably a sports car. There are many faster sports cars than the Crossfire, but it is still a sports car. Actually, if a car has back seats, it's probably a GT or sports coupe. The Crossfire is small, low, handles well, accelerates well, has limited practicality, is light, aerodynamic, and seats two. Sounds like a sports car to me.
As for the comment about the SRT not being fast, I'd like to know what he's been smoking. Not many cars out there, sports cars included, can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. It IS an extremely fast car! I've had plenty of cars, and the SRT is by far the fastest stock car I've ever owned.
MGs are sports cars, MX5 (Miatas) are sports cars (actually one of the ten best according to automotive journalists), and neither are lightning fast or have tons of hp.
So kid, you need to re-evaluate yourself and come back when you have completed your automotive literature, history, and related studies.
