When I test drove the Rx8 I ran it up to 9000rpms then shifted. People were catering to me on the road ( I guess so they could look at the car). I just emailed my Chrysler dealer to see about test driving the 6speed version.

The Crossfire I test drove last was the automatic, which I enjoyed and could relax while driving. It'll be a least 2 months before I'll purchase...so that leaves a lot of time to contemplate
