My idea of having a fast modern car is buy it with all you want.Don't try to mickey a great car. As for the XF being a loss I think you're wrong it's one of the best values I've owned .I've had a year and still get compliments almost every day I drive it.
Good luck .
That's why they make Hondas.
I wont believe any claims for an upsolute or any other chips or these "intakes" untill i see some dyno runs. This is the only car forum that ive seen and no one has dynoed their car.
If a contour owners can do it, i'm sure we are capable.I'm guessin we put around 175-180whp stock at most. If some one has run their car on the dyno, i'll stand corrected. But, i havnt seen it. As far as the crossfire being a mistake, it was. And if you were happy with the crossfires power you wouldnt be trying to buy a srt-6. I get compliments all the time on my crossfire, and who cares. They are not driving it. I dont care what other people think. I care what i think. And i think the crossfire is way underpowered. For a 300 hundred a mo as i am paying its a decent car. But if i actually purchased this car, yikes, i would need that like a bullet in the head. There are much better choices for 35k. The only thing that made me buy it was payment. or lease it rather. An r32 would be a nice compromise, decent speed , great handling, looks and interior are great. I tried to lease that and payment came around the 570 range, so was the sti and evo and TT, only thing that came remotely close was a g35 coupe, almost no options at 480 a mo. At the time taking the crossfire seemed logical. And man i wish i never did it. I wish i just drove my 95 blazer winter car till i found a deal on a evo or something. I am not trying to **** on your parade if you like your car that is cool. It just not for me as i found out too late.
