Yes that is exactly what I am saying, but it is a series of turns, in and out in and out, I could of maybe pushed the crossfire to the 75 range but don't exactly feel like becoming friends with a ditch and later meet his friends the trees. With the M3 I went in at just around 90 and came out at 90. And even at 68 mph that is still good for these turns, the limit is 25 mph. And my civic Si with pretty good rubber couldn't do any more than 55ish.
On my not speed rated winter rubber you can't take anything fast, if you do you can feel the side wall buckle. Drive an actual STi on a daily basis and not some poser wishing he had one. Then come talk to me.
The Crossfire is definitely not as sure footed as the M3. If the crossfire handles so well, tell me why the SRT-6 placed dead last in the road course against the corvette, boxter s, slk350? Even though the SRT-6 pulled more G's and Slalomed faster than some of them, and was the second fastest in the 1/4mi, so power was not an issue.
Just to shows you slalom or g's have nothing to do with road course ability. Its for mag boys like you. They got a '05 mustang GT with the saleen suspension kit to slalom at over 70 mph I guess its a better handler than the M3, STi, and Crossfire, with a solid rear axle. LOL
The crossfire is a good handler, but better than the STi or M3, I think not.
