That ragtop is horrendous, and lots of folks are having lots of problems with them.
No trunk space.
If I go to pick up a pizza, I pass ~ 10 of Solstices or Skys (though ~ 1/2 of them are turbos) and no Crossfires (especially no SRT6s).
PROS (IMO)
Lots of mods available.
All Pontiac/Saturn dealers should be able to work on them.
Nice looking. I much prefer the Sky to the Solstice, but that's just me.
They sound good (exhaust).
At current prices, the SRT6 Roadster is cheaper or the same price as a GXP/Red Line, has at least 70 more hp (or 89 - depending on if you believe MB or Chrysler), 50 more ft lbs of torque (or 72 - "__"), and is a VERY low production vehicle.
Yeah, it only comes in auto, but it is one of the best auto trannys in the biz.
To each their own.
Enjoy the new ride.
WOW!. I feel exactly as you do. No need to type the same opinion. The rag tops looks wrinkled and I would never buy one with the top looking so poorly fitted at the corners. Cheap. The auto in the SRT-6 is the best I've ever driven. Awesome.
