they are puttin the hemi in the new grand cherokee too…
not true. There are lots of American cars that I would rock. Z06, Viper, Impy SS (with the LT1’s). Hell, even an F-body.
The crossfire isnt that bad of a car, but for 10K more than a C5 Z06, who the hell would buy one?
Its going up against the SC430, SLK32 AMG, S2K, 350Z/G35, C5/C6, E46 M3, M Coupe/Roadster… without a slick shifting 6 speed, I dont see too many enthusiasts really jumping on this bandwagon.
this car basically is the SLK32 AMG
I know, but which would you rather have?
and every other car on that list is >>>>>>>>>> than a crappy crossfire.
on that list? I’d take the Z06, thats a given with me
you’d take a Crossfire over a E46 M3 with a 6 speed? :hsugh:
I’d take a Z06 over an E46 M3 anyday of the week.
I’m not a big fan of the Crossfire, or anything Chrysler/Dodge puts out.
I don’t even like the Viper that much to be quite honest. I think its cheaply built, and under performs for its cost.
But if i want a sports coupe, and out of that list, the Z06 is the best bang for buck performance you can get.
S2000-worthless pile of shit, doesnt have the acceleration to warrant the handling
E46 M3-nice luxury sports coupe with decent acceleration and ok handling
SC430-c’mon now, I’ve seen more 60+ year olds in this, than I have seen 50+ year olds in Vettes
SLK32 AMG-just screams I’m a secretary with the need to want to get speeding tickets
Z06-best bang for the buck
thank you, captain obvious. ANd the E46 outaccelerates and outhandles the regular C5, so I guess a regular C5 only handles and accelerates “ok”.
I’ve never seen an E46 M3 out accelerate a C5… C5’s 0-60 right around 4.9-5.0. BMW is claiming 5.3 for the M3.
I have yet to see a showroom stock M3 hit 12’s stock. We all know the C5 is capable of 12.9’s off the showroom
As far as the handling? I think youre a little off there. Where the E46 M3 maybe a good handler, I don’t think the C5 is any slouch compared to it at all. In fact, I’d put my money on the C5.
ya know what, you may be right. I believe the magazine test im thinking of was actually the M5 vs. the C5, with the M5 edging out the C5. However, I cant imagine the numbers on the smaller and lighter M3 could be that far off of its heavier big brother…
take it to aim bitches 
then why didn’t you say that instead of the domestic shit comment?
domestic cars suck ass.
i never liked corvette’s and never will, but the new c6 with 400hp is a pretty damn good buy. But i’d still take a m3 or even an s4 over the vette anyday.
also i k cheaper than the c5
the current M5 is actually right on par with the C5, same 1/4 times and 0-60 (due to its massive weight). Handling still goes to the C5 though, especially a Z51 equipped C5
how long have you known me? 
You of all people should know…
(but on a side note, I do think that most domestics are hunks of shit, when compared to their euro or jap counterparts).
