That's not really a fair comparison. The ferrari's you're talking about are 20+ yo cars. You could say that the crossfire is faster than any street car built prior to 1950, but so what? The VW I own is faster than my crossfire, so I must be driving a supercar!
I was a little surprised a couple months back when dicing with an old Ferrari 308 GTS and had no trouble keeping up and even leaving him behind. I don't think the guy liked it much...
308s and mondials aren't really that fast by any stretch of the imagination. But, like the crossfire, they are still cool cars. Owning either car isn't about speed or performance, but feel. Heck, compare the stock tire selection and size of a 308 versus any version of the crossfire.
Of course along comes an Aston Martin and smokes my fat a$$. Gotta know your limits
Yeah, that's definitely true. The stock crossfire isn't really about blowning the doors off of anything. It's more about the personal enjoyment of getting behind the wheel.
