Thumbs up Re: Crossfire 2.0

The drawings remind me a bit of the Maybach Exelero... the edger design and such.

Eric you’re probably going to get sick of all the questions real quick… so I’ll only ask a few

FYI did you know the first time we tested it in the tunnel it got a .43? That's worse than a Grand Cherokee! Later we got it down to a .37.
Man now that’s a bit of information I could have done with out… so just by adding the spoiler is dropped it .6?

If I remember correctly the spoiler adds 37ish lbs of down force at 80mph…

Yeah post some pics!

Eric glad to see that new ideas and designs keep coming years down the road. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say the Crossfire is one car that down the road may or may not be collectable but, one things for sure, it’ll still be one damn fine looking ride.
