Default 01 s2000 vs crossfire

i was coming home from checkers when i noticed a maroonish color crossfire coming up to the left. i maintained speed of about 55, as he pulled up to my left. we were both going the same speed when he lunged forward and i dropped my gear and into vtec. when i dropped my gear i started walking on him and at around 90 i was about 2-3 cars... not too sure tho because i wasnt really paying attention to length and was just worried about beating him =P

Yep, a Crossfire is only a tad quicker than a MB CLK320; actually more than a tad, more like half a second quicker in a 1/4. I like the back end of the Crossfire, but I don't care much for its front end, esp. with those grooves on the hood; too Pontiac-like.

I've gotta agree

Note that the Chrysler has really been slagged off over here-Is it really that bad?

CrossFire Specs.

Engine: 3.2-liter sohc 18-valve V6
Horse Power: 215 @ 5700
Torque: 229 @ 3000
Transmission: six-speed manual
Curb Weight: 3160

The boat anchor beats an s2k on torque, i guess they had to get something out of the 2 extra cylinders but that's about all that impresses me besides the 240 watt 12 speaker sound system......Hmmmmm maybe that's why it so stinking heavy!!
