Those cars are practicaly the same car, just different body and badging, but their value hasn't dropped so significantly. I've owned many cars and this car has droped in value more so than any car i've ever owned. Oh well, not really complaining, more just supprised about the drop in value. I don't plan to sell the car. Just making a comment about it. Sounds like the most of you were looking for a cheap sports car, sounds typical of a mustang buyer. I was just looking for something unique. I mean, if you want to go fast, this car isn't exactly your ticket. Turning heads and having people ask questions about your car is another story with the Xfire. But I don't really consider this car to be all that great of a bang for the buck considering is performance. Even the SRT isn't that great. But, It is a fun car none the less. Just not exactly worthy of being called a performance sports car.
wow your education of the SRT-6 must be lacking because it screams, is it a Viper,Vette, etc.. no of course not would I rather have a Viper or Vette no. I can't speak for everyone here, but I doubt that anyone that bought a Crossfire was really considering a Mustang. The Crossfire's biggest appeal to me was that you don't see any and it is greatly undervalued. I paid 16,250 for my SRT-6 roadster, if that's not bang for your buck then I don't know what is.
and as said before in this thread the Crossfire group is a great group of fun innovative people(excluding me, who is not at all)and I can only imagine a mustang group meet.
anyway just because a car doesn't have a gazillion horsepower doesn't mean it's not a sports car, it's all about pushing a car to the edge, it's not a dragster and although that's fun in it's own right, the real fun comes when you turn the wheel a little and stay out of a ditch
