From my earlier post #13................(3) Rarity/scarcity - Definition of RARE is 5000 or less (SRT production 4071: 2571 Coupes/1500 Roadsters)
In the last seven years I have only seen one other SRT. Probably only a half dozen na's even with their larger population. Sadly the rarity/scarcity increases due to the insurance write-offs.
Standing in the garage this morning admiring the very distinctive and eccentric styling elicits a grin, ah proud ownership. I must admit a Love/Hate relationship with the Crossfire tho ( You all know what I mean!)

Re: crossfire: what you like and what not
Negatives for me are having the electric windows button on the centre console and the windscreen wipers on the indicator stalk.Apart from that minor flaw I am really happy with the dash layout and the car. Oh, just thought of something, the tiny boot on the roadster, another minor flaw. The performance is reminicent of when I used to put big engines in small cars when I was younger.
Re: crossfire: what you like and what not
I always see at least one other Crossfire, either a roadster or an SRT6, depending upon what I choose to drive. My next door neighbor has a gold roadster, too. I generally see a foreign Crossfire every 1-2 weeks.
After 18 years of ownership, any quirks have normalized. I still detest the cupholders and never use them. An autodimming rear mirror (like the 2004s) would have been nice. My only real complaint is about me, not the vehicles. At 71yo it is getting tougher to enter and exit the low seat position. I just need to get younger.
