I can't believe any of you like that Dodge advert. I mean, I can understand you liking it Rich Burton, cos you like crappy American rubbish!   How very dare you! My Crossfire, I'll have you know has a Mercedes v6 3.2 engine in it. ...and a numpty driving it!  |

I've had it around a few tight bends at speed. It's not the best in the world for cornering, but it's certainly not bad. |

I suppose its better than that lumbering piece of near scrap metal that you used to have! At least this one is actually a car!

American cars are great in a straight line, but get one to corner is like getting a sea-tanker to turn.

You would probably beat me off the blocks with that bit of tin but I'd beat that baby 2.2 ltr engine over a distance. hehe |

Noone was debating the ability of an american car to pull quickly in a straight line, though the VX is quicker to 60. Round corners you'd be blown away by his car. Having said that, I can't think of many cars that wouldn't be. Maybe the Lotus Exige? Other than that, specialist kit cars, and stupidly expensive super cars I reckon.

Actually that's a better top speed than I thought it was capable of. Mine can only do a measely 4 mph better at 155.

Now you're just exaggerating. It's three years and four miles. Stop being silly |
