I purchased my 06 crossfire in December. I was actually able to drive it before winter hit here in Idahol. As luck would have it, We have had the worst winter on record. That has not stopped me from driving it whenever the streets are dry. My only real problem with the car is trying to keep it at a resonable speed. You notice I didn't say legal speed. That is impossible. I have had it up to 115 mph several times and know I will be going faster. I absolutely love the car and cannot believe how it handles at those fast speeds. I am looking forward to many years of incredible fun.

Regardless of speed, always respect "the unknown" however like i always say "this car has my back!"

I have a silver crossfire and it is a roadster, I wouldn't have it any other way. I usually go out on weekends between 5:00am and 6:00am. I have all the roads to myself. Coeur d'alene, Idaho is still a fairly small town and I can enjoy the roads at that time of the morning by myself.

Keep having fun!!!!!

Welcome aboard, xfire5! I have a yellow roadster and just love it! I don't think I've seen a silver roadster in person yet. Do you have a 6-speed or automatic?

The Xfire is a great vehicle. I've had mine since February and I'm looking forward to the warmer weather for a little top-down cruising. They are certainly a fun car!

I 've done 155 and I know it will do far more.
I was very surprised at the rate of acceleration still at that speed.

I have seen the yellow xfire in my neighborhood. What a cool looking car. I will also look forward to the warm weather with the top down. There is nothing like it.
