crossfire faster than sti
 
You guys have to check this out....these crossfire owners have wonderfull imaginations....crossfireforums

DreRX8 09-20-2004 04:23 PM

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.

whosyourbaba 09-20-2004 04:25 PM

im lost on the story, how the heck did the 350z get in the picture?

mysql101 09-20-2004 04:33 PM

I've got a suburban that can go faster than a crossfire.

That thread is another reason why street racing stories are not allowed on this site. I'm glad he beat a Subaru 350Z STi with his Crossfire :)

Kel Rx8 09-20-2004 05:05 PM

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.
shit i would kill the crossfire for that matter.

WHealy 09-20-2004 05:16 PM

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.

Fanman 09-20-2004 05:35 PM

If it is the 330 hp, 310 lb.-ft. of torque SRT-6 that is believable, if it is a "regular" Crossfire...this is a joke.

Synergy RX-8 09-20-2004 06:03 PM

Wow.....................

I have seen some stupid people, but............Wow

Xfire wining against an STI, ha that one will keep me laughing all day!!!

VikingDJ 09-20-2004 06:04 PM

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. :rolleyes:

the SRT-6 isn't even out yet, is it?

There was another time he raced a 350Z and he said it pulled on him more.

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.

This guy said 04. i beleive the SRT is 05. And yes, I beleive the coupe SRT is out and the vert is forthcoming.

BlueFrenzy 09-20-2004 07:12 PM

it's funny how even the other Xfire owners burn him and call him on his Bull$hit.

shelleys_man_06 09-20-2004 08:13 PM

It's the Internet. Someone's bound to believe him. :rolleyes:

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.

Lol, my thoughts exactly.

PetersonPeleRx8 09-21-2004 12:20 PM

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.

mysql101 09-21-2004 12:22 PM

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.

sti_eric 09-21-2004 02:17 PM

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.

Yeah, even Crossfire owners can have some credibility!

;)

shorty911 09-23-2004 09:46 PM

those ppl are fing stupid that one guy asked if a sti was a 350z?

shorty911 09-23-2004 09:46 PM

they are making up stories to get over the fact their car looks like when a dog is bending down to take a crap

Napboy 09-23-2004 09:56 PM

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.

ayap888 09-23-2004 10:00 PM

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.
