i work for jeep/chrysler of norco, so i get to drive these things quite a bit. Theyre a sohc 3.2L mercedes v6, which produces about 215 hp. unfortunately, chrysler only put out 1600 of these cars, making them a collector's item. There is a 6 speed model and a 5 speed auto (triptronic). Anyway, this car is awesome...80% mercedes and 20% chrysler (the chrysler part being the body.) It competes with the likes of the audi TT, and 350Z. Anyway, the Brabus guy came the other day, he brought the crossfire with a bored mercedes 3.8 as opposed to the standard 3.2. he claims that it puts out about 330 bhp, and after having driven it, i didnt doubt him.
anyway, the reason im posting this is because of what happened on the little drive. im in the driver's seat talking to the brabus guy about the engine and so on, when a red vette slinks up to the light, complete with two dumb looking fellows wearing sideways caps. the light turns green and i dump the clutch in mid conversation, he stays with me up until 2nd gear where i began to steadily put distance between me and the vette. i think the last thing he saw was the rear active spoiler which comes up at 50mph. i think he was hurtin after this one
