Hello Folks

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and Crossfires. I just bought an '05 Yellow Roadster Limited and so far am very pleased with this ride. I come from a drag racing back ground and have had a number of fast, high horsepower(450+ rwhp) LS1 Camaro's, but wanted something different this time around. This ride handles like a dream and I am pleasantly suprised at the throttle response and acceleration. I plan to fully enjoy this car over the summer and hope to possibly make some events and meet some other members.
May the sun shine on your face and the wind be at your back

Welcome new member. Hope you enjoy your new ride. Mine is alabaster in color. I looked at the yellow and they're nice but I like the alabaster.

You won't be disapointed !

We're approaching our 2nd year with our roadster and love it just as much as the day we test drove it.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I have to agree with ya Taz, I like the Yellow color best, all of the colors are sweet(hell the CrossFire is a sweet ride period), but the Yellow really caught my eye. The weather here has been really nice yesterday and today so I have been putting the car through its' paces; still feeling the car out and seeing how hard I can push her, she can be pushed pretty darn hard!

Corners like a dream

Got to "play" with LS1 powered Z28 and in a straight line I got walked, but once we hit the twisties the game changed

I like the LS1 platform and Camaro's are great on the drag strip, but don't corner very well IMHO.
I seriously like my X-Fire!
