I had a 2000 Convertible camaro. Not a power house engine. But it handled very well even better than the Crossfire. I drove each car as a daily driver for over 4 years so I can tell the difference in handling and power. After 4 years of driving the Camaro I noticed the difference right away when I started driving the crossfire. I could hit a sharp turn at 60 MPH with the Camaro and the tires never made a squeak. That car was planted on the ground and I don't get the same feeling with the Crossfire. The fire is good but not as good. What the Crossfire excels in is top speed. You could do 135 and it feels much more stable than the Camaro.

I said I would pick a vette over a mercedes. I would love to buy a vette but that doesn't mean I am not a die hard crossfire fan. I had my fire for almost 5 years and refuse to get rid of it. Heck.. I may even be a bigger fan than a lot of people here. I know I have owned my fire longer than most people. I appreciate and love the car for what it is.... the same as I do for every car including the Camaro and vette. I never said I would trade it in for a vette.... but why can't someone have both? But you are correct, there are vettes and Camaros on every corner. Fires are less common and more unique.
