Interesting observations, and I would agree with your conclusions.

A degree here, and a degree there, but it's delaying the inevitable. That's honestly a perfect sentence to sum this car up. The SRT-6 is a great tool to surprise cars with a far superior pedigree in small spurts, but eventually, the Crossfire's weaknesses manifest themselves and we're reminded it's a grand-touring coupe on steroids, not a proper race car built for hours of track use.

While it's true that you can race with it (and do well), it's not purpose-designed for such. As a result, all of our mods simply serve to make the best of a handicapped platform.
