Having gone from a Mustang GT to a Crossfire, I can compare just within my own world. The Mustang was faster - especially from 0-60. The Crossfire seems to have an edge over 60 for acceleration, but so what? If I wanted to drag race, I'd have gotten another 'stang. The Crossfire has way more "fun-factor" and that was what I was looking for this time around. I take highway ramps a lot faster in the Crossfire than I ever could in the Mustang - cornering is lots better...
