When I was buying my srt I drove the boxste, S2000, 350z and the crossfire. When I did the ben franklin close on myself the crossfire was the better car for me due to these reasons:

1. Driver size- I didn't feel comfortable in the S2000 and the boxster - they felt small
2. Proformance per dollar - crossfire hands down winner.
3. Appearance - I liked the looks of the S2000 and the z but there were a lot of them on the street around here. I'v had a couple of porches in my time (911, 826, 844 turbo) and the handling is great but have to have to like the look. My wife thinks that they look like bathtubs but she alos thinks I'm an immature idiot when ti comes to cars and motorcyles, especially when I have "I can't drive 55" blaring on the cd when she's in the car.
