Re: Where is the sticky for new folks? SRT6 vs 6 spd
I bought my roadster as an homage (and second childhood) to the 73 TR6 I had to sell in 1990. No disappointments -- ride, power, reliability, etc is far superior. Acceleration is plenty fast with 215hp. The stick is fun to drive and the automatic top a pleasure after manually lowering/raising and snapping tonneau covers. I am a firm believer that a "real" 2-seat sports car has to be a stick. If the SRT6 was available with a stick, then I would have bought a roadster version back in 2005. BTW, the SRT6 was between $8-10k more expensive than the n/a when new.
After reading about how fast and how much fun the SRT6s were, and how rare they were, I decided to find the twin for my car. I figure I bought a 3-year old car with 8500 miles and avoided $30k in depreciation. I've come close to buying an SRT6 graphite roadster a couple times, but common sense (and having only a 3-car garage) prevailed.
Drive them both and make your decision. You will love whichever one you buy.
