'Scuse me Dan, your ignorance is showing. That and your bad grammar.
What say I try racing a 6 bonger Crossfire? Nah...they can't make the cut as a sports car, that's aiming WAYYYY too low.
By the way, the SRT 4 banger Neon, as well as the Saturn ION, also a 4 banger, and the Subaru WRX STI, and Mitsu EVO will DEMOLISH a Crossfire in any kind of race you'd care to set up.
Heck, a normally aspirated Miata will spank it on a road course.
You've got yourself one heck of a piece of automotive engineering there, Dan. AMG Mats. Didn't know JC Whitney sold 'em.
