I'm curious though about a couple of things: your Miata 5.0 yet you mention owning an SRT4 - do you have both and are looking to replace one of them? And does the "SRT4 Convert" in your sig line mean you are a convert to the SRT4 or what, since obviously there is no such thing as an SRT4 Convertible. Just looking for clarification here, that's all. And if you do own a Miata with a 5.0 swap in it, depending on what you've done to the suspension I'd say the Crossfire is a better riding car than a Miata with much more ultimate grip than the little Mazda as well. All in all a terrific handling car if you ask me!
I sold the SRT-4 about 6 months ago. No, it was not a convertible, but I am astonished at how many SRT6 drivers are former SRT-4 owners like myself. The Miata is severely grip limited, and is way too much of a race/frankenstein car. Tons of suspension mods made little difference other than making the ride worse. I am looking to get rid of the 5.0 miata and pick up a convertible Crossfire, but still on the SRT/Limited fence.
