Looking at various test reports this thing is also dynamite in slalom runs, which are a far better indicator of overall handling than mere skidpad stick (although the Crossfire does quite nicely there, too). Edmunds.com put a 4th Gen Camaro SS through the slalom at 62.9mph but they got 65.0mph out of the Crossfire (non SRT6 by the way) and called it "among the best we've ever tested, faster even than a Boxster S". Motor Trend got similar numbers - 63mph for the 4th Gen SS and 65.4 for the Crossfire. Road & Track lists the Crossfire as faster through their slalom than handling icons like the Honda/Acura NSX and Mazda MX-5 Miata and just shy of the Lamborghini Gallardo. That's some pretty heady company.
