Default Call me crazy...

So I finally got over to my parents house to drive my Dad's new SRT-6 Crossfire coupe tonight. For those who don't know, a couple weeks after I bought my Limited Crossfire coupe, my Dad went out and bought an SRT-6 coupe. I have been SO incredibly excited about driving the car for the past 2 weeks. I finally got to drive the car tonight, and much to my surprise, I like my Limited coupe far better! The SRT-6 is just brutish, my Limited feels far more refined. My Limited has a much more linear acceleration curve... the SRT-6 has the typical lag-then-supersonic acceleration. It's almost unpredictable when you depress the gas pedal. I expected something so much smoother and more seamless from an AMG product. The ride is certainly WAY less civilized than my Limited. It rides more like an '80s Camaro than a German built sports car. I even like the way my auto Limited shifts better than the SRT-6. I can't say I care for the look of the suede interior either, though it does feel nice to sit in, and holds you in your seat better. I don't even like the exhaust note of the SRT-6 versus my Limited. The SRT-6 wing, wheels, and front air dam take away from the classically simple looks of the Crossfire too. Perhaps I need some daylight time in the car on some curvy back roads. But my initial impression of the car was an overdone boy-racer, badly in need of some refinement and polishing.
