90 degree turn, but what radius?

Uhh is a crossfire even comparable to a Z?
Heck I don't even think they exist anymore?
I can't remember the last time I saw one
on the road.

yeah, the supercharged one will actually beat a Z, but they're all AT due to the AMG motor, but they only made the SRT-6 in '05. a stock '07 Z can hang with one, so imagine what a TT Z would do.

as for the base and limited trim level of the crossfire, they only put out about 218hp, which doesn't even compare to a Z. i never realized how slow my crossfire was until i test drove a Z.

this is how i looked when i test drove the Z:

well, they only made the srt-6 (supercharged crossfire) in '05. all the other years from '04-07 are the base/limited models. chrysler's not supposed to make them in '08. i see them around here every now and then.

not encouraging street racing, but if a crossfire pulls beside you and your Z is stock, you can tell whether the crossfire is SC or not. the most obvious way is (if you're close enough), the SC one will have the SRT-6 badge on it.

from far off though: if it has the retractable spoiler (if the wing is down you will not be able to know it's there) and 7-spoke rims, it's a regular crossfire. if it has a fixed wing and 10+ spoke rims, it is supercharged. although some people have started putting the srt-6 rims and spoilers on their regular crossfires.

From then on in I've change my driving habits. Life is too short, and his face was sooooo beautiful.

In regards to the SRT-6, I believe this to be quite sad:

When you say crossfire, you talking about the Chrysler, or an '82/'84 Corvette?
