From: houston tx,
it has no ***** at all. I screwed with one on the highway in my NA automatic 300zx. It walked me. barely. just... barely. I didn't have an intake then actually, and I was running on 5 pistons. With my new engine and intake I'm pretty sure I could take one. they're piggy slow. They have the same hp as my car did stock, but weigh 300 lbs less. It makes me wonder... power/wieght ratio SHOULD be much better on the crossfire. oh well. I guess it doesn't matter as much as I thought... Those cars seem pretty worthless to me. I'd rather get the Mercedes whatever that shares the platform with the crossfire. at least then you'd have a car that LOOKS good...

221 HP Stock

Its a Mercedes 3.2 v6 so any Renn-tech, Brabus, Lorinser, or Amg parts should work on that engine. But unfortunately you get Mercedes-Benz like pricing on those parts. As far as i know( i may be wrong) its a SLK chassis.

But against an evo stock for stock, theres no competition.

Id say a low 15 just by the way my little race with one went. maybe they're REALLY fast off the line, but I doubt it.

in fact you are correct sir.....the crossfire is nothing more than a mercedes slk320 with a chrysler shell. There was actually a good length article about in Road and Track a few months ago.

hey that's a pretty good guess...Road and Track has is at 215hp, 0-60mph -6.7sec, 1/4mile - 14.9@96.0, 0-100mph - 16.2sec, Top speed 150mph.

You guys are laughing at the horsepower, but you should look into the mods that you could dump in to that car, i bet it then would become formidable =)

They are coming out with the supercharged version (AMG motor) which will have about 340hp if I remember correctly. That should be pretty quick!
