Spoiled by the RX8

I went out and test drove a Chrysler Crossfire. Boy am I sure spoiled by the RX8 high rev's. Can't believe how bad the Crossfire is. This whole time I thought it had some good power, but it doesnt. The RX8 is simply faster.

The suspension on the other hand is amazing. Love the softness of it!

Why would anyone bother driving a Crossfire? To see just how bad it really is?

I own both. I own the 8 and my fiancee has a Crossfire. We drive the 8 I don't think the Crossfire has been driven in a month so that should tell you something.

It tells me that you realize how amazing the Crossfire is and that you must keep the miles low to ensure it will be around for decades, much a like an Enzo or Carrera GT owner would do.

I bought both a hardtop and convertible Crossfire in the last month because I know that in 30 years at Barrett Jackson I'll be reaping millions when selling them. Turok should do the same thing- just remember to keep the miles low like Raven, and we'll be the ones laughing all the way to the bank while others will be working well into their 70s.

Germans build nice cars, but not durable cars.

Keep that in mind. and when you see your neigbor's car dead on the highway, give him some help. He'll need it.
