Not so with the Crossfire.

It's acceleration curve doesnt even curve!
And yes it's great in the curves too.
To mpmedic, I am always listening. If that was a 81 Crossfire Injection corvette that doesnt count LOL. Ive seen one of those get beaten by a GSR integra. That vette was a disgrace. My 99 corvette, pulled like a demon anywhere even at your said hot spot, C5/C4>crossfire. And I'm guessing the the 300zx was n/a. That makes sense. But the grand national? That would suprise me, I love the GN, and they have uber ballz. But they run stock what my SRT-4 does.

I think the crossfire has no power anywhere, though it does feel capable from 3-5k in second gear. Other than that it performs like a dog that wants to be put to sleep.

Okay you guys got me, I like the crossfire. It is the nicest winter beater I have ever had.
:-D
