I'm not going to try to "sell" you on the Crossfire. If the Z looks and feels better to you. You should buy the Z. I didn't need anyone to convince me to get my Crossfire. I saw the road test on Speed TV then went and saw one and once I sat in it.... It was all over except the paperwork. That took anot an hour and a half and I drove the car home.

The last autocross I entered the car in there were 3 350Zs, 1 RX8 and 4 Porche Boxers. I got beat by 2 Boxters and none of the rice burners. You have to remember to turn off the Traction/Stability control. Then the car really wakes up in the corners. My guess is that in the tests, that have been reported in magazines, they have left the Traction/Stability control on.
