Mark my words... one day you will wish you never sold your crossfire!
Just breaking your chops. Couldn't resist... you set yourself up for this!
Lol I love the Crossfire and am happy to point out the plus side of an SRT over a 55 AMG. Interior wise the SLK wins, everything that you touch is soft and covered in leather with thick padding. Driving the Crossfire my elbows would start to hurt because of the thin padding on the driver side door arm rest and the plastic center console. Funny thing though, I loved the design of the center console, with the spine running through it.
I personally prefer the styling of the SLK 55 to the Crossfire, but of course that's a matter of opinion, but as an aero stand point the Crossfire is the better design. It's much more stable at higher speeds than my SLK, top up or down.
As far as the engine, there is much more I can do with much less money on the SRT. That engine is just built to be added too. Throw on a tune, dCAI, and pulley and you have one hell of a rocket ship. Plus you've only spent $1,500 dollars, and can be done with less if your willing to buy used and are patient. For now though I'm done with more power, and am just enjoying the sound of the V8 with the top down.
Overall the Crossfire and the SLK are both wonderful cars and when it comes down to it pick the car that speaks to you more. This place is a hoot though, so no since in leaving us
