Interesting... I
traded in my 2003 SRT-4 for my Crossfire and I couldn't be happier. Good luck and go for the short shifter, you'll need 'cause every a-hole with more than $25.00 in mods is gonna race you!
PS IMO the Crossfire is much more
drivable. You'll quickly find "U" turns are easier at 15MPH and yank up the e-brake!, otherwise get used to wide swings and "K" turns.
