Default Re: "Roadster with a Stick"

Well John, who knows WHAT I'm going to do! I spent the past several days learning about what I want, what I have (in my little Roadster) and what is out there.

Went off and drove an 06 Red Roadster - Special Edition tonight. I learned a LOT! The SE is quite a unique Crossfire. Now, I understand the SE was a "Roadster only" thing, is that right? No SE Coupes, right everyone?


Ok, take a look at this car...



So, what IS a "Special Edition Roadster"? Well, it has the base's black trim around the windshield, no fog/driving lights and an all black monotone dash and interior trim. BUT it DOES have the Limited's Chrome door handles and fake-air-vent-thingys on the side!

Problem is, it also has the base's no-woofer audio system, black air cleaner housing, and cloth seats. This trip taught me something: I sit so high in this car's seats that I can't comfortably drive the car unless the top is down - and even then I am looking at the window frame. Thing is, I do NOT remember sitting this high in the Base Roadster I drove tuesday night. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? Did I just not notice this? And how could I not notice this? I mean, people, I could NOT drive this with the top up and even with the top DOWN I was looking at the windsheild frame. ALSO, I was so high I could not comfortably see the speedo or tach.

So, no SE's for me. Or did someone modify this car? Why did I not sit so high in the Base Roadster tuesday night???????????????? And last week, I drove a base black Coupe and actually remember being comfortable in that car. Is it me or is there something odd about the SE seats? I looked at both this car and mines side by side, the SE's seats sit about 1 1/2 inches or more higher.

Oh, one other thing... are those not SRT rims?

Sure is an odd mix of mostly base model stuff, with a little chrome from the limited and rims from the SRT !?!?!?
