I've been reading threads and articles on car magazines about the Xfire being under powered, but if you take a look at this site (http://www.exoticcarsite.com/0-60-qu...mile-times.htm) and compare other cars to the Xfire you should find that you're driving a pretty good autobile with good performance and besides does a half second faster really matter that much to spend 40 grand or more on a car that goes 1 second faster and how many times have you seen someone driving an exotic car here in the state over the speed limit. Also car magazines always complain about the xfire performance but they always seem to over look the low hp performance in some mercedes,audis, porsche and their favorite BMW.
