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.
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.
I think my point was missed. Point was for $15K here's a car that performs well and looks good. By todays standards you would pay more for a good 308 and personally I don't think it's as good looking.
Another reason that the 308 was easy to keep up with or pass could have been because the driver didn't care to play around. Probably more grown up than all that.
The point I was making was that the car is a relative bargain (for me anyway), holds it's own very well in looks and relative performance.
The data is all subjective. I wonder if anyone is getting a stock N/A from zero to 60 in 6.4 seconds? I've never even tried. For me it's not about drag racing performance, its about the overall package. Except for the iconic styling of the Jag I used to have, I'd take the Crossfire over it in ever other way.
