Then he couldn't row his own gears.  I think it's a nice choice Roger. I'll be looking for some thin metallic silver stripes on it soon.  -SAV

Answer to the first question...more than likely, unless my Dad really wants to see what his 01' Vette can do out there.
Amswer to the second question...NO! Even if the hood wasn't styled the way it is, it just wouldn't fit this car, not at all. I haven't even come up with ONE idea for it yet, heck, I even ordered a K&N filter for it and guess what, the OEM filter has a 4yr/60K change interval, so I guess its got a "extended life air filter" already.
I'm not upset that some of you don't like it, its just your opinion but the other cars I wanted would've caused a HUGE rift in the household. Example #1, the Mini Cooper S, my wife says the car is too femine and would never, ever drive in it with me  The next choice, the EVO, would have to bought used and all the cars I called on, didn't have any maintence records and for those cars, its critical, especially with the front/rear diffs and transfer case needing attention every 15K  I tried to test drive the GTO, but that was impossible, plus, I couldn't find the color combo I wanted, so thats that. I guess it wasn't in the cards for me to have the "Goat", but oh well, I like the Crossfire so far. With a curb weight of a little over 3,000 lbs, torquey V6, 6 speed, ESP, T/C, BAS and sticky Michelin "Pilots", the car should be a blast down on the Dragon. Now I just need to get used to it in time for that annual event

so how is th gas mileage have you tested its handling
does it have a decent stock sound system
tell me the pro's and cons
The jellybean comment is kinda funny, but if you look at the Taurus, its more of jellybean with its rounded styling, heck, the Tour for that matter as well, but I loved my ride none the less With only 200+ miles on it right now, mileage isn't going to be its best, but today I figured it out and with mixed driving, I got 22.5 and thats with cruizin' anywhere between 65-85 mph on the freeway. Now for the final question....HELL YEAH IT DOES  Its a 240 watt Infinity system with 6 speakers and subs and when you consider how small the cabin it, it ROCKS! The system is really enhanced when compared to the "premium sound" of the CSVT

Great choice if you were trying to buy one of the most fugly cars ever made, right be the Nissan Pulsar
Nissan Pulsar, come on now  even I couldn't let that one go, are you freakin' kidding me, Nissan Pulsar  Is it a Mustang, no, is it an EVO, nooooo, but saying its in the same breath as:
-Nissan Pulsar
-AMC Pacer/Gremlin/Matador/Eagle
-Pontiac Aztec
-Renault LeCar
-Toyota Paseo
...is ridiculous
