Thanks
The Lotus will make your Crossfire feel like a fat lame duck (feel and handling). The Crossfire as nice as it is, is invisible to the attention you will get with the Lotus. The Lotus is delicate and you have to be mindful of where you park (never Parallel). I can park the SRT6 anywhere.
They really are so different. I love my SRT6 for daily cruising and appreciate it's comfort, drivability and all out acceleration. Hard to beat the SRT6 for the money. It's a nice blend of sport luxury.
The Lotus is a hyper focused precision instrument. It is audacious in it's look. It's not very useful. It's hard to get in and out. It garners too much attention. Always have to leave time for questions wherever you go. Kids will scream when you drive by. People will point and take pictures. However....
It is simply the most fun you will ever have driving a car unless you have money to buy big $$$ exotics. Every time you drive it you will take the long way home. You will drive it with no destination in mind. At 1900lbs everything will feel like a truck compared to this Go-Kart. Every time you get in you will have a stupid smile ear to ear. It feels illegal to drive it on the street. You will miss it when the weather is nice and your not home.
You can pry my SRT6 out of my hands but never my Lotus
