100% garbage. They must be smoking crack over there. First off--the guy seems like he is lying--what was the mention of the 350Z--thought he was racing an STI.

if your not 1st your last
i believe he raced a 350z before and everyone on the forum knows this.
so i think he compared them
but anyway.the story is shady im sure the sti would of walked
him in everygear.

Defintly not an 04 ... but maybe an 05
Okay, the blown V-6 had 349 bhp and 332 lb.-ft. in DaimlerChrysler's other rear-drive sports car, the SLK32 AMG. And the supercharged engine has about 100 lb. more to deal with in the 3240-lb. SRT-6 coupe, but Chrysler is still talkin' a Crossfire that does 0-60 mph in about 5 seconds and has a software-capped top speed of 158 mph.

I tend to think an rx8 is capable of beating the regular crossfire. Naturally the srt-6 would give the STI a true test, but then again look at the price of it. There is no way a 215hp car can compete with an STI. I can tell you, that if I come across one of those who wants to race, I won't give him time of day in my STI, but I may run with him in the rx8. There is no point to his thread even if the race did happen, because he seems blind to fact that the STI when driven the right way will toy with his crossfire. He's talking about being disappointed in the car, when the driver of STI likely didn't try, or he just messed up and didn't bother tyring to catch up. This sounds like a typical BS racing thread, and since this site has enough bullshit already, it's a damn good thing it's not allowed on here. We'd be getting stories form fanbois about how their rx8 smoked an EVO.

So, he raced a 350Z first, then raced the STi. He compared them.
Either way the Crossfire loses. I don't think any-one of those race stories on that site are factual. Probably just "stories" and thats it, i have driven a Crossfire and it is slow, reminds me of an even more exaggerated G35 Coupe.

Stuck in a love triangle
The Crossfire SRT-6 costs around $47000 - which isaround the price of the M3 and the new 05 Corvette and both of those cars out perform it. Youd have to be crazy to spend that much on a Crossfire whenyou can have one ofthe other 2 more prestigious cars for the same price. Even the base Crossfire is overpriced. I thinkthey should do away w/base Crossfires and bring the SRT-6 down to the price of the base. Then you might have a good deal.

Ya the SRT-6 is definitely out, I saw one about two weeks ago. The thing rolled by me while I was waiting at a light, and it sounded like a monster. The wing on it is just so damb ugly though.

The base crossfire should be priced around 22k, and the higher end version around 35k.
It is way over priced, and I don't see the model sticking around for long without a major change in the price or in the chassis.

There is one sentence that tells me that his story is BS: he said the STi spun his tires FROM A ROLL. I can't spin the tires with a 5500 RPM clutch drop, let alone from a roll. And I have a stage 2 STi with about 350hp and 385 ft/lbs torque. No way the STi spins its tires from a roll.

did you guys read the story? he clearly says that he thinks the guy missed his gears. none of them seem to the the crossfire is faster than the sti. he just happened to race a guy that couldn't drive.

I've tested the crossfire. It drives smoother than the RX8 before the M flash. But after the M flash, the RX8 is also smooth. I don't like the visibility and blind corners of the Crossfire. It's dash is also boring compared to the RX8 (at least for my taste). Some like its retro look.
