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.
Glad you like your Limited. Yes the SRT6 is a little brute, no question. Different strokes as they say. No offense to the ladies out there but if I were to compare the two to a woman, the Limited would be like Alice in Wonderland, prim, proper and fun to be with. On the other hand the SRT6 is more like a different Alice. The one played by Mila Jovovitch in Resident Evil kicking butt and taking names while still being drop dead gorgeous. LOL.
