Default Things to AVOID when driving your Crossfire

1. Parking on high curb parking space
2. Driving in a two lane highway ( rock chips ahead ! )
3. Parking beside an SUV or pick up trucks

Look for the space out in the middle of the lot... with no cars on either side

Since I've got my Crossfire, I've been parking in the farthest space in the mall, but some people probably are just curious about the car that they have to park also next to mine. The same day that I bought my CF and I was stopping at Wendy's parking lot ( of course, all by myself ) 2 huge pick up trucks with boats on their trailers, parked right in front of my CF. I'm really getting too much attention in my CF which I didn't enjoy with my 911 Porsche. But as long as nothing happens to my CF, I'll be proud to give them a chance to see one. :-)

Default Motorcycles...

Last weekend, packed up newly waxed xfire and lovely wife and headed up to the hills west of Phoenix. Perfect day for crusing. Just into the winding hills, at about 85, we came up to about 40 morotcycles. 15 minutes later we found ourselves surrounded by gawking crome and choppers.

It was a blast. Joined them for breakfast - see album. great day....

I hope your not implying that you outrun them, cause a TT and an RX8 will walk all over our crossfires.

Rx8 Only if the driver knows how to run that car correct... those rotary engines will tear us up at the right RPMs.... but our 0 - 60 will give them a run for their money if they dont hit the correct RPMs every single shift....

350z... well thats what you get when you buy something that is riced out looking and is meant for speed not style...

yeah i wouldn't try messing with a 350z... or a 3.0liter Z4 BMW. Even the 4banger Z4 could probably walk all over us.

I think our crossfire is probably the slowest in its class. But when it comes to styling and handling, we're right up there.

I am indeed, 0-60 the xfire will beat an RX8 or audi TT and RX8 owners haven't got a clue when to change gear either! plus you can outrun them when they have to stop for oil!

:shock: What is up??? I couldn't believe my eyes, AN RX8? Give it up, even the manual couldn't beat the Crossfire. No I haven't tried it but This last weekend I played solo with my Crossfire and very quicky got to 130. I didn't have a long stretch to pull up to the 150 that the car is reported to reach but C'mon, jap crap isn't the kind of precision that these are. And a 4 cyl Z4? Do they even make a non-6cyl? My Autostick Crossfire very quickly gets up and Im very impressed. Ive never been into takeoff, I love top end. Many classic muscle cars will take off very quickly but top end and speed is they lack. Top end, baby!

Mazda even had a buy-back program because of lying about the HP rating of the RX8.

.........Yes, I know a 350Z, Vette, Viper, 911 could win, but hey, im happy with my Crossfire.
