SRT all the way. My wife had a NA roadster, she traded it 2 months ago for an SSR. I have the 6 and plan to keep it. Will be doing some mods shortly. The bottom line for me is the power of the SRT6 far surpasses not having a manual transmission. The price seems a little high for a car with 44K. But getting the car at the right price for you makes it even a sweeter deal. Good Luck!
