The SRT convertible is sprung softer than the coupe so most of the critisims of the harsh ride came from reviewers driving the coupe.
What's this nonsense about the steering being better than the Evo's? You, sir, are delusional!

Everybody knows that the Crossfire's recirculating ball steering is far, far inferior to even the most crudest rack and pinion. It's true because I read it on the internet. Actually, the steeriing of the SRT is tightened up over the standard Crossfire. It would be interesting to compare the standard steering with the Evo's.
And why do the car magazines knock the recirc ball steering as old and unworthy yet never make the same comments about the leaf spring suspension on the Corvette?
