If Jesus Christ was alive today, he'd drive a Crossfire.
A small village in Italy has the entirety of it's population devoted to Crossfire ownership, because the styling is "magnifici" and the handling blessed by the Pope himself.

But, these are just rumors.
Chuck Norris drives a Crossfire
Tony Stark wanted a Crossfire but he wasn't cool enough so he settled for a NSX.

Scoff all you want, despite having, uh, polarizing looks, the SRT6 Crossfire could be had for dirty cheap and they were a couple bolt-ons and a tune away from being an 11 second car. I wasn't really ever banging the drum for those cars, but come on, guys.

Here's my review and follow-up for my Z4M Coupe. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Mine's for sale (coupe). With the US dollar so strong, you could pick it up at a pretty good price.
Reading your review makes me want one even more now...thanks. I think the clutch problems could be fixed by deleting the delay valve. I suppose it's more noticeable than the one in AP2s, it's been a while since I drove the Z4M.

Question: I was thinking of getting one through Carmax to take advantage of their warranty. Would this be worth the $2600? Seems like a no brainer for any German performance car, but the Z4M seems mechanically simpler than most.

At this point I just need to find one not on the opposite coast and the right color, unless a Chrysler Crossfire comes up first.

The "clutch problem" went away within a week or two of me driving it. I just had to get used to it. I'd leave it in, personally - less hassle.

Definitely get the warranty. I haven't needed it (yet) but a friend of mine bought one as well and he's had a few small issues already.

Things that the automotive world cares not about:
1. The skidpad numbers of a 1982 Buick Skylark that has been donk'ed on 24s
2. The luggage carrying capacity of the Ferrari F1 car
3. A Crossfire doing 11s

Ah, my bad. I assumed we all had fully formed penises, ergo, we inherently like 11 second cars. :-P

Just in case anyone missed it, I'm totally joking. I assume that Driven's penis is breathtaking. Haha.
