You and your hemi. The hemi would fit actually, but is signifigantly heavier. Moreoever, this is a german built car, it would cost money to fuse a big american engine from a different set of standards into their already pretty much set up car. The beauty of the crossfire is they could develop it for next to nothing. I think they are bluffing when they say it is 330hp, i'd bet it still pushes the full 349, but they re-calibrated it for less low end. Look at the quarter mile time. From sixty on that thing flies.



PS: Anyone else think we should copy this post over to the mercedes thread too?

lol
