I'm not sure I agree with Franc on the value of the roadster being higher as time goes on. While the roadsters are twice as rare as the coupe and convertibles are generally more coveted by collectors, the ragtop on the SRT-6 ruins the iconic boat tail lines of the car for me. And I think that is the number one thing people will remember about this car when it reaches classic status, Eric Stoddard's great lines.

I started my SRT-6 shopping fully intending to buy a roadster as a direct replacement for my S2000. But, after seeing a couple I was turned off by the looks. The roadster just lost the unique Crossfire look for me. And I had some practical concerns too. Finding a replacement top in five years for a very limited production car like this could be a PITB and expensive. And I found a few threads on this forum citing recurring problems with the rear glass in the convertible dropping into the trunk. Neither of these considerations would turn off a collector but they pushed me over the edge towards a coupe. On the other hand, I have no doubt that top down driving on a beautiful day would rate a "10" to the coupe's "6".
