Let me first start by saying your English skills are exceptional!

As for how a classic car compares to a late model car, quit being lazy and find out for yourself. Also, if you are unable to form a simple sentence or even know the difference between an antique car and a late model car then you do not need another car lol.

Just off the top of my head:

they both have 4 wheels and tires
they both have steering wheels
they both have 2 seats
one is old, the other is pretty new (guess which is which!)
they both run on gasoline
they both have motors
they both are on the planet earth

neither tastes like a banana
neither can tap dance
neither are suitable for deep sea diving.


Why buy cross fire? Well you need to buy cross fire because lettuce is on sale at the grocery store!

Seriously though, I was just kidding around. This site should have all the information you need in order to decide "why buy cross fire":

Ignore Mr Photoman, most of us do.

The 66 Corvette is a nice classic. Drive it on Sundays when the weather is nice, to the park or a country setting.

Get a Crossfire. NAs are cheap now and with a stick shift, you'll be amazed by the comparison of torque, speed and agiility, not to mention that you won'f have to fix something everytime you drive it hard. And drive it hard you will.
Or Get an SRT and wonder why you waited. Extremely quick and nimble with little downtime because you pushed it.

Then park the 66 vette except to show off at the local Dairy Queen car shows.

Comparison? There realy isn't one. You are comparing a Budweiser to a single malt scotch.

a classic corvette can not be compared to a cheap tasteless beer.

if anything a classic corvette is one hell of a lot more car than a crossfire will ever be.

there, a good reason to why buy cor vette

.........well, except that a 66 Vette is only fast in a straight line and STILL not as fast as a modded SRT6 (Yes, even with a vaunted 435hp, 427)

I have owned classic corvettes and would take one over my srt6 any day. There is simply no comparison between a classic beauty and legend vs a crossfire lol.

Lol, there is no comparison between a classic car and a late model chrysler or pretty much any car.

That is like comparing a velvet painting of elvis to the mona lisa lmao and saying the velvet painting is better.

There must be a reason why both a velvet painting and crossfire prices drop like a rock lol.

A crossfire is a good car but it is in no way in the same class as a classic.

No one is doubting that a 66 Corvette is a classic, but after having owned three Corvettes and my brother owning a 65-396 and a 66-427, I can say unequivocably that my SRT6 is a vastly superior car, both in handling, build quality, and frankly......looks. Being as ancient as I am, I have driven these classics - when they were new - and nostalgia doesn't make them great.
We'll see as Crossfires age if they will become classics as well.

I think the srt6 handles about average for a sports car, I have owned cars that handled much better. Do not get me wrong, i like my srt6 a lot but it is far from being the best car I have owned. The rear tends to be a little light on the srt6, i expected it to be a little more balanced than what it is.

It is still a good car though.

No, she just hits me with what ever is handy when I get on her nerves lol.

I asked her why buy srt6 this past April and she said why not buy srt6 so we buy srt6.

Then she asked why drive srt6 so I let her drive srt6 and I drive srt6 and we like it so that is why drive srt6.
