It depends on what type of racing that you plan to do. I autocross a 2005 base Crossfire. I chose the base model because of what it lacks that the limited model has. First, it has a manual transmission, no TPS, manual seat, no subwoofer, and weighs the least of all Crossfires. It has enough power and plenty of low-end torque, which is essential to autocrossing. I have 17x7.5 aftermarket rims in front and 18x9 aftermarket rims on the back (weight saving). What I don't like is the fact that the top speed in second gear is 59 mph, which is fine for courses on small lots, but sucks if the course is on a big lot. I plan to get 275/40 fires (which are .7 inch taller) in the future, which should give me a few more mph's in second gear. I also don't like that the Honda Civic Type Rs are in the same class (D Street). However, it's a fun car to autocross.

Just joshing you but you used brakage at the end of every run. 😉
Good Day!
I also campaign a 2005 Xfire but for DSP. You can get more speed in second gear by using OEM tune (which comes with $4k guarantee) which allows an additional 1100 RPM. I am sure I have the specs somewhere but it adds about 17 HP and 39ftlbs torque on 93 Octane. 100 Octane tune is a bit better. Also adding the SLK throttle body helps. Currently adding Spec 3+ clutch set up.
