The thing with the crossfire is that it's deceptively quick, which is something that most people don't realize. They just think it's a slow POS because it doesn't pull numbers like a mustang or even 370z. But the crossfire does really well for what it is.
I went up against a Civic Si (same hp as a GTI with far less tq) a month or so ago and it was pretty easy to reel the guy in.
Thanks guys. My car pulled a low 14 seconds ET and 97mph trap. That is pretty damn good for a 215hp car. I was happy to stay with him knowing that he was modded. However, I wish I hadnt filled the tank up right before I ran into him...
Xfires are decently quick rides.
