"That's a matter of opinion. My opinion is 180* out from yours... Don't ever try to take a corner fast with the RX8.... The 2 I've seen try to run an autocross pushed like a dump truck. The Miata will even tear the RX8 in new one on an autocross course. It's not a car I care to drive, let alone own."


Obviously this guys never drien an RX8......"dont ever try to take a corner fast" ??????? WOW thats the most ignorant thing i've read so far!!!

LOL Wow, this is hilarious. I love the guy who tries to make a case for the Xfire vs. the 350Z by saying it beats it to 60'. I mean, I've seen civic hatches jump ahead of my 400hp Z28 right off the line because they weigh like -200lbs. Does that make them a faster car? No. Why? Because I'm 10 car lengths ahead of them before the even get through the intersection. 60' times are pretty useless in my opinion. No one cares about who's winning in the first 2 seconds.

I hate people who argue over performance on stock cars. You can disagree all you want over which car is "better" overall, but a car will perform as it will, and some will be better than others. My friend still swears he could take a WRX on the track in his RSX-S. Poor confused child...

Top gear video was hilarious though. I can definately see the dog and I loved how he kept saying "It's terrible at this, but maybe this is good... *Shakes Head* No." That was great.

I really want to test drive one now to see if I hate it as much as he did. (I already know I hate the styling!)

"Does that make them a faster car?"

Ah yes, pluarality disagreement... I'm tired...

I think delusional is a pretty accurate desciption for them. I like the 350Z and Crossfire but I doubt a Crossfire could keep up with a 350Z in a drag or on any type of track.

JmurphRx8

if the RX8 can just about keep up then the crossfire def can't....

Yanje

the crossfire is the biggest joke... for its price, there are so many cars thats much better

215hp engine, accelerates from 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds.....

ugly as hell!!! ok, the front looks ok, but the back is the most disgusting piece of work on a car. (maybe not the most, but still ugly)

PaulieWalnuts

Why would you say it's a joke? "Better" is subjective. Better than what and to who? Appearance is also a personal preference.

Yanje

well, i arent sure the price of it in the U.S.
but over here, it costs $65,990 base price. the 350Z imo is better than the crossfire in every aspect. (even tho i dun like the Z much). add on a few more thousand, u could get an Alpha romeo GTV, which im my oppinion is better than the crossfire in every aspect (debatable of course depending on the sourses u use). u could get the slower 911's, but they handle and look much better. and finally, why go pass the 8?

HiTMaNN

i want the new carrera gt that one has a v10 with a 617 hp engine with a 0-6 3.5 i saw it in a magazine its on the cover drrrrroooooooool

randyrx8

Well I have had my issues with the 8, but my god, to compare it to a Xfire this is the bottom of the barrel..

Why anybody would buy any chrylser product is beyond me.

As a previous chrysler owner, You could not pay me enough to consider another chrysler product

JmurphRx8

Ok i know im bringing back a thread thats been dead for while but i figured i'd share some more humerous comments that the crossfire guys have to say

http://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/...2&page=2&pp=10

"FYI about the RX-8, it only puts about 190 HP and 133 lb feet of torque to the rear wheels in the 6mt version, the auto is even less. Even with a good launch it is still weak..."

"thank you, people dont seem to want to check the rx8club.com and see these cars are mid 15 second second cars. now we may not be straightline comp for the rx8, but rx8's arent our comp in a straightline. a few guys, i mean a few have broken into the 14's, one of them, judgeito, very respected rotary tuner, broke two tranny's doing it. rx8's are slow pigs."

~ the second comment is just plain rediculous...that guy drives a crossfire and is callin our cars "SLOW PIGS" HAHA, i've beaten crossfires ever time i've raced one (thats if find an owner who is not a 50year old women, that is willing to run)

I have a friend who bought an '04 crossfire last week for a very good price, 7k off MSRP. I helped him pick it out, test drive it, the whole nine yards. He wanted the "phat" look it provides. The Mercedes quality makes this car different than the Chrysler of 2 years ago. There is no doubt that my 8 is a hair quicker, more responsive and generally a better "sports" car. My friend bought this car becasue he wanted a luxury car that felt sporty. There is really no reason to degrade either car as I am sure any one that can spend 30k also knows what they are looking for.

some people like 'em, some people don't. doesn't make either car "better", there seem to be a lot of folks who seem to think that faster=better, I would have to disagree as there are tons of cars out there that are faster than the 8,crossfire, EVO whatever but that doesn't mean they are better. When I say tons i'm talking about the cars you see that are butt-ugly-nasty-primer-spots-etc. but they can run 11-12 second 1/4's, I know I see those all the time and I'll give you one guess which car is more livable on a long road trip and daily driving or more fun in the Texas hill Country, my stock 8 or the beater that can run 12's So I'm sure it's been said a guh-zillion times and I'll beat it into the ground again: buy what you can afford and be happy with it, who cares what some moron on some random forum thinks, the same moron will probably try and run an 8 on a curvy road someday or even better in an autocross, then we'll see how far the Crossfire takes them and just how much a "pig" of car the 8 is. I wonder if people were talking all this smack when the S2000 first came out?

truemagellen

Crossfire POS, period
move along nothing to see here...(except that Top Gear video review...hilarious !)

JmurphRx8

haha i got banned from crossfireforum for posting that video when it came out...lol haha they all loved it when at the end they say you can get an rx8 which is a better car for about 5k less.... :D

yep, wasn't even going to go there but it was hysterical, it's like homedude had absolutely nothing good to say abotu the car. Then on the speed channel they had a review of the SRT-6 on "fifth gear" and it too railed the car pretty bad, same price as a C6?! who are we kidding here?!

Pete

crossfire looks like a stretched out beatle, is heavy, and american made . Nuff said

Rotarian_SC

Mercedes quality, hehe. That's a good oxymoron. I believe Mercedes has some of the lowest reliablility ratings.

ZASKAR-RX8

oh my god!!!

Luxury car???? whats a luxury car in USA, because crossfire is a sucking car, a SLK from 7 years ago. This car is a big mistake at least in Spain, I have seen 0 crossfire, the sales are 0

truemagellen

ditto, Mercedes are the taxi cabs of the Mideast (or atleast Israel )

Crossfire is ugly worst than ****
