He said the cup holder was rubbish and the rear of the car reminded him of a dog having a dump. Other than that he was having some fun but would prefer to be driving a Porsche rather than a Chrysler. His name is Jereme von Clarksonburg and is well known in the German motoring press.

You can go to: VÄTH ::: Mercedes Tuning ::: To learn more about the car. Though if you don't speak German (like me) you would be best served to use Google Translator, which works wonderfully.

According to their website, they do sell a limited slip differential for both automatic and manual transmission cars. Hmmm.... I'd love to get a set of their wheels.

@onehundred80: You're obviously didn't have a look at the posted clip. You're referring to an entirely different review from the UK based Show "Top Gear". The guy you're talking about is "Jeremy Clarkson" and he is english too...

The video above is about a special version from Väth (btw: as far as i know they're not selling parts for the Crossfire anymore ) - it has a 3.5 liter engine (~300hp at the crank - special crankshaft, pistons, inlet camshaft...) with a slip differential and some other enhancements.

The driver is Tim Schrick - a test driver for several shows (especially Motorvision in germany) and he is a race driver too (his project for the 24h on the Nordschleife/Nurburgring: www.team-schrick.com ).
And he speaks very positive about the car and how much fun it is to drive.

I got the sarcasm... when I read his name was 'Jereme Von Clarksonburg'

I thought this clip was positive from the grin on his face
