Hello all,

Wanted to add a comment or two. I'm not a owner of a Crossfire but have been an admirer of the SRT6, until recently. I like the looks/lines of the car, but for the first time I was able to drive a very nice one owner SRT6 like new condition convertible, but needless to say I was disapointed in the ride/features of the car. It felt like I was getting deat up with all the bumps felt and along with the lower back pain only after a short time. The blind spot(s) are very bad, but could be delt with getting blind-spot mirrors (putting/keeping the top down) along with the lumbar seat and new tires for a quiet ride. We took the car on back roads and then a short stint on the freeway, very quick/fast but very loud road noise even having the top up and I kept thinking a window was down or door was open? The dealer/manager had changed his opinion of the car even after our ride and suggested that this was not a car to be used daily, but more for a weekender. I have owned many sports cars from Austins, Triumphs, a few american sports cars, but this car just does not match any I have owned and used for several years straight as a daily. I have a 2003 300m Special (older body stile but one Chrysler should have kept) and had gone there thinking I'll trade it for the crossfire, but after the drive I thanked him for his time. He really wanted to see my car for a deal, I let him look but told him I would be hard pressed to trade. He did offer a great deal for a trade without me having to do anything (could still get it for low 14K), but still my 100,000 mile Special seemed a better car. I would be using the Crossfire as my semi main car and I do own new cars (Tahoe/Acura), but to lay money out for something to enjoy for short times/rough rides/bad amentities seems not a good choice. I know many are going state compairing my "sedan" to a 2 door sports car is unfair/unjust, I do have years of expireance with sports cars, but after seeing the original window sticker of $50,000+ on ths crossfire that I would have to "fix" to suite my needs I have to say I'm sorry for those that paid the price, even in the mid $40K range. Yes, 40% mercedes, but Chrysler should have kept it 100% theirs. Yes my 300m/Tahoe/Acura/Buick/motorcycles/etc may not command the money that purchased them and may never, but maony well spent on solid vehicles with mods and those waiting on the Crossfire to bring the money will be waiting a long time.

My two cents and not meant to bash or harm anyone, only to give an outside opinion.
