I have only had one guy ever try to race me when I was in the SSB SRT6. It was an old muscle car and looked and sounded great.... boy was he surprised....
Mostly I dont get bothered..... I try to follow SteveS' philosophy... project the power to do it, but refrain... (it is hard to do though

)
Sorry, forgot to answer your question.... keep the Crossfire and ignore them... it gets good mileage and is the classiest car on the road.
