Hello everyone!

I don't own a Crossfire yet, but am considering purchasing one. I don't know much about Crossfires, but I have loved them since they came out.

I drive a 93' Town & Country and would like to use my T&C as my winter car and the Crossfire as a recreational car. I've always loved Chryslers, and I'd love to build a driver's car (basically a car which handles well and can move). I've got some general questions regarding the Crossfire platform:

1. The SRT-6. I read that it only comes as an auto? Is this true? I really want a manual.
2. As far as power is concerned, how much power can I realistically add (staying N/A) without blowing the drivetrain?
3. How is the aftermarket scene for this car?
4. How reliable are these cars?
5. What are known problem areas and things to look for when inspecting used Crossfires?
6. What are specific mods that everyone would recommend installing? (If anybody is familiar with the Chrysler LX platform, this would mean mods like the AirHammer intake or Diablo Predator Tuner)
7. Any notable year to year changes? Are there certain model years to stay away from?

Thank you all for your help! I will scour the forums over the next few days and try to answer some of these myself.
