my buddy just got one of these new crossfires (2005) stock except for exhaust...just wondering when we race who would be more likely to win?

 

Does it have the 215HP base engine, or is it the SRT-6 with the 330HP S/C'd Mercedes 3.5L AMG engine? The SRT-6 was a $50,000 car and is a 13-second ride.

 

Its not the SRT-6. its just a v6...seemed like it handled really well though

 

depends on the race....a drag you should kill him...a flat road race at a track he might catch up in some corners but you should have a pretty bad jump on him coming out of them.

 

My dad has had 3 of the Crossfires; 2 coupes and a 'vert (1 year corporate leases). You will spank him in straight line acceleration, but those Crossfires are amazing in corners! If you are talking about a road course then I would say that the straight line acceleration advantage would probably give you enough of an advantage to win.

I remember reading that their chassis is stiffer than a Porche 911 - true or not I had a blast using the Crossfire for autocross and on winding roads.

 

I kinda thought i would win but just wanted to make sure...once all this ice were having starts to melt race is on!!

Thanks for the input
