I feel that the Limited was at it's best from 50mph -130mph

The total cost of upgrading to the SRT was only a few grand and there were no mods to be had for the Limited (at that time)

I have no regrets on both of them. But I do feel like the Limited was going to last a lot longer and offer more trouble free driving for years and years...
Yep. One of the primary reasons that us old guys, who don't know sh*t about sports cars, bought the N/A. Hard to spend $6,000 on mods or even repairs on social security.

This is to be my last 'bought new" car. Sucker needed to be well built, reliable and fun to drive. Both do 150+ without losing control. I'll settle for the 5 or 10 seconds longer it takes to get there.

Spent plenty of time in fast cars from a 365 HP 60 chevy, 57 T-Bird, 69 cuda, 82 TA and a European powered 420 sel Benz that cruised flawlessly for miles at 140MPH with room to go. Oh yeah, the '65 454 Olds Hurst shifter f-85.

No inferior issues here.
