Hello everyone, first post here.

I am a BIG Mopar fan, and seeing as how I could never fathom owning anything else, I figured I'd come here to get a few questions answered first-hand from the owners.

I currently own a 2010 Ram 1500 4x4. It is great, and I absolutely love it! But, things would be lot easier for me if I could pocket a few hundred extra bucks a month and put them in a rainy day fund in case something were to happen. While I don't want to give up the truck at all, if I did, I would want something sporty and fun. (I also have an older '97 Ram that is paid for that I could still use for towing and hauling stuff if need be.) Since a truck is really what I want, I figure if I'm going to replace it, I might as well replace it with something else that I really want. Namely, a sporty 2-seater convertible.

Enter the Crossfire.

Being that the ones I am finding are only a few thousand dollars apart in price, I am really torn between the Limited and SRT-6 variations. I would not consider giving up the truck for anything less than that.

The SRT-6 has the power, suspension, and brakes that I want. It however, does not have the Dark Slate/Cedar interior option, nor does it have a manual transmission, also, in my opinion, the spoiler on the SRT-6 doesn't look good.

Being a bit of a performance freak, the SRT-6 is obviously the first choice there, but I told myself that if I did ever get a little sports car like this, I would get it in a manual, not an automatic.

I guess what I'm wondering is whether or not the SRT-6's auto is decent or not, and just how much gear control you have with it. And, given than I like the overall look both inside and out of the Limited's more, is the added performance enough to make up for my perceived short-comings in the SRT-6?

Thanks for your responses.
