Default Parade crawl stop and go

Does the Crossfire rebell at the crawl stop and go of a parade? I'm talking about maybe an hour of this kind of stop and go. - with some Council person or Commissioner waving to the crowd from the passenger side.

The parade goers would probably love the car but would the car love the parade? Plz send advice - thanks! Alicia

Shouldn't be a problem. I do the same thing in Chicago traffic all day long.

We had 4 Crossfires in a parade in RI and didn't have any problems.

We take ours to the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's really a Dream Crawl - slow and slower. No problem at all.
I will make use of second gear a lot, just keep rolling some and it's way better than first. Go for it
What I personally would not do is let anyone sit on the back deck. With all the hydraulics for the top my concern would be damage and repair expense. I don't think it was designed to also be a seat.
Beyond that; shoes on the center console? ....perish the thought!

Yup. I do it in a manual too. I can probably leg press 1,000 lbs with my left leg! : )

Beats the hell out of driving in stop and go traffic on my Harley!
