Default Re: Crossfire vs 350Z vs RX8

Our crossfires were never compared with the RX-8 or 350Z if you've read in most car magazines but rather it is compared with the Audi TT, Z4 and the Porsche Boxster. DC / Mercedes never wanted the crossfire to be a track car the fact that they reduced the HP from what it had from the concept crossfire. Mercedes is more in luxury, comfort and safety and that's what we inherited from the SLK 320 platform.

More HP or speed is an ownership option to go to reliable tuners like Renntech, Lorinser, Kleemann and Startech. The engine is not meant for over the counter upgrades from Pep Boys or AutoZone and that's what makes our crossfires better than most American and Japanese automobiles because we have a reliable engine that's been tested through time.
