Neither...

I use oediscountparts.com

The dealers are fine for providing part numbers, but that can be found here with a brief search.

Driving experience is superb, if you're realistic with your expectations. No, it won't corner like a GT-R. But it rides better

For a grand-touring coupe, it's a superb handler. A few dozen of them were just at the Dragon, arguably one of the tightest/most dangerous mountain roads in the nation. The Crossfire is rigid, responsive, nimble, a bit numb on steering feel but not so numb as to be clueless. The steering weights up in a very linear fashion, easy to predict.

I've taken both my Limited and the SRT to the track. Again, it's not a pure sports car but it certainly doesn't embarrass itself. In fact, nearly everyone is pleasantly shocked at just how competent it is when driven hard.

The things that made you love Alfas will be the same things that make you fall in love with the Crossfire.

Quirky, polarizing, scarce to see on the roads, and a joy to drive.
