A hemi in a Crossfire? I like it!
Actually the pistols kate beckinsale is holding are 2 Beretta M93R's not the Colt 1911A2 you speak of. Call the evo butt-ugly, who cares its runs with the best of the best. And that still doesnt change the fact that the crossfire is dead-@$$ slow. And just the other day my car got compared with the looks of a AMC Marlin. Now there is a compliment. And further on the 1911 it wasnt made to be pretty, it was made to get the job done and it did for decades and still does. The EVO was made with performance in mind. I'm still trying to figure out why the crossfire was made, especially now they are going wholesale for under 20k. Sounds like a real winner to me.
