While they are no match for an SRT on a straight road, an SRT will not run away from them in the twisties. And when you think of it, an NA has good acceleration, will do 150+ MPH stock, and is a blast to drive on winding roads....... Either route you go, you will have a very fun car to drive. Just thought I would give a balanced perspective.

Yes, perspective, it is so down to earth. Threads and comments like yours have made my short time here on the forum most enlightening and enjoyable. I have learned that a good part of owning anything with and internal combustion engine requires great support be it a truck, boat, rv, or what have you and that support to someone like me looking for a Crossfire is value, great value.
I am tempted by many of the Crossfire models I see, some represent a great deal but do not include top of list requirements and others have all or most of my list but are a bit out of my price range.
The hunt continues as I am leaving in three weeks for somewhere in the US that has my car. I'm grinning already.
