Someone mentioned it might be a close race with a 135i.
The real question I have is "what type off race"?
In all reality if you put them on a highway and say "see you down the road"
the 135i will arrive without it's doors!
There is a world of wonder beyond the quarter mile which is why I love road courses.
Top end driving is a blast and one hell of a rush. Going into a sweeper at 160 plus, can be a hell of a lot more thrilling than dragging unless you are talking sub 8 sec. cars which this car will never be.(IMO)
The Crossfire was built as a lux. road sport coupe. Let it out and run the way it was intended. Even the hard core drag racers may find it exciting.
PS. I am not knocking you drag racers. I actually get a great deal of knowledge from some of you guys. So please don't jump all over me for this comment. For once Just sit back and take it in...
