Thanks guys.... just wanted to see if this was normal. I had a Camaro that needed brakes after 50K so I was thinking it was almost time on the Crossfire. But the Camaro was an automatic. My crossfire is a stick. I tend to take my foot off the gas and let the gears help slow down (without putting strain on the engine or tranny). Sometimes I pop it in neutral and let the car slow down to a stop rather than jam on the brakes.
