lol...that you are right that the Crossfire is just another internal combustion car but as with any other late model internal combustion car; getting all the electronics to play nice and not either make your dash light up like a Christmas tree or have the car run like dirt by having the computer run too lean, too rich, etc. when you talk about changing out engines or adding things like superchargers to base model engines is what poses the biggest challenge.
Yes, one could gut the car of all engine and transmission electronics to eliminate the problem but $35k+ sure seems a lot to pay for a shell and some heated seats.
