to start a logically argument please start with a legit point--the car is UNDERPOWERED put against its competing cars *350z, z4, s2k and g35...to name a few*. the srt6 cost damn near as much as a c6 so i would expect it to put up some good numbers.

you mentioned hot rods don't come from the factory--i didn't say i wanted a hot rod, i said i wanted a sports car with ample acceleration compared to others. For f**ks sake quite a bit of family sedans put more hp to the ground than the xf, so how can you consider a 2 seater car putting anywhere from 30-80 hp less than the maxima, or accord the soccer mom the next lane to you is spouting a "true sports car".

before you say go buy an srt-6 i considered it, and the answer was no due to lack of manual. i am getting a viper here pretty soon anyways.
