Living in the LA area with the freeway "parking lots" makes driving the auto much better. And last, AMG doesn't offer a manual, and they do know a little about performance.
You want to shift, slap the shifter silly.
BTW, you REALLY need to keep that cherry Triumph as well. As good as the SRT6 is, at times I am sure that TR is just too much fun.
I'm more surprised than disappointed. You would've thought the marketing gurus at Chrysler would have come up with a racing series for the Crossfire. I guess that's good for us that production was low.
I haven't had much of a chance to put the car through it's paces. I live in the country where the roads are pretty poor, so spirited driving is not too easy. Fortunately there are several tracks here in the area and many autocross clubs to participate in.
Thanks for compliment on my TR4 (everybody). It is scary fast and presently does not have the suspension to handle the hp. It was my first attempt to do a mod of that magnitude. Now maybe with the Crossfire, I can get back to tweaking the Triumph...
