Default Re: My dream: Fully stripped Crossfire race car/ street monster.

But the Crossfire has more power than my Camaro ever did because it wasn't a Z28 or SS. I am just telling you my experience on the road comparing the two.

But why would anyone buy a Crossfire and complain it is not fast enough. If someone wants a race car that can do 0-60 in less than 4 secs at a reasonable price then go buy a Corvette!
I've got a 99 Firebird Convertable with the V6. That things a sled in the corners. It's been a long time since I drove the Limited x-fire but I always thought it drove better than my Firebird. Wasn't as quick off the line, but would catch it in the end. Another thing my Firebird shakes, like Michael J Fox trying to hold a microphone, when I get anywhere near 90 mph.
