Thanks for the responses I've received so far.

I would surely like to find an SRT-6 ... if it had a traditional manual transmission. I'm a sucker for a row-it-yourself, clutch-driven manual car. I'm not much for paddle-shift cars or AutoSticks.

It's good to hear maintenance costs won't be unreasonable. I've heard oil changes on these cars are a little frightening. The car would be used as somewhat of a daily driver. It would alternate duty with one of our Jags, and would be used when I went to see clients. I suspect I'd be putting around 10k/year or more on the car, and that's a conservative estimate. I'm from the camp that says if you're going to own a car, drive the thing.

As for upgrading, I wouldn't be looking to go very far even if I did do some modifications. I'd pretty much be comfortable with the base performance if it came to that.
