I drive my sports car everyday, whenever I can, all seasons (except when the snow is piling-up, then it's back to the kamikaze Cougar). Life is short, we could hit by a truck tomorrow, so I drive it.
Umm.....the SRT is a fast car by any definition. Not fast, compared to what? Throw an intake & a pulley on the car & you're darn near at 400 hp. Doesn't handle well? How many other cars can handle like ours? Once again, compared to what? Sloppy steering? Compared to the Mach 1 you have pictured?
Downward, I know you enjoy your Xfire but I think you need to re-examine your opinions. If the car isn't what you expect fine but remember, you are amongst members who have driven all kinds of cars; who have "been there, done that" & still think the Crossfire, in all 3 flavors, is one of the best they've ever driven.
I'm 54, been driving since 16 & have driven just about every kind of vehicle you can imagine and this is still, hands down, the most fun vehicle I have ever driven. FAST, handles like a dream, brakes like nothing I've ever been in, has looks & style & is unique. Cannot ask for much more!
