yes i raced a 350z also and lost, going back and forth out of traffic is not racing it is foolish. I street race all the time but only when traffic is near nothing, and only going straight. Racing in traffic is just stupid. The 350z and Crossfire are along the same lines of handling performance, edge with the 350z, but the Boxter is in every way better than the crossfire. The boxter S posted alot faster times in a road course then the SRT-6 let alone the base.
