For your information I was stopped in traffic, and was hit by a car going est 35mph when he decided to chnage lanes to get behind me, what he did not realize is that traffic was stopped, I did not even see him coming as far as putting my foot on the gas that would have put the driver in front of me in more danger, he was injured enough already from slaming into his steering wheel due to no seat belt, I walked away and so did the guy who hit us but the old gentleman in front of me didn't, so im sorry if I seem a little testy about your comment but I could not do that to someone.

Well, I drive a N/A (Did I mention it's the 7th oldest roadster known to man?) not an SRT but I feel your joy.

They consider it a collector status car due to the fact of a somewhat limited production and that its no longer manufactured. For 700 bucks a year I have my crossfire insured through a reputable classic collector car insurance co, Hagerty So it seems to me if a company like Haderty who insures mostly CLASSIC Collector Cars, would insure a Crossfire that says something about our cars dont you think. Definitly a Collector Car maybe not Classic status but still cool.
I have the almost identical insurance with Haggerty, but my car I valued at $23000 and my annual cost is $600. I actaully did a Phone interview with a insurance agent.

I have my Tiger, MGA and Mini MC40 insured with Hagerty at set values. I do not do it on my Crossfire SRT6 because KBB is keeping pace with value. Book is now 23K and climbing. I paid 18K. Gary

just did a KBB on both mine. The roadster was rated excellent, and was $20K plus, and the coupe was rated good in the $18 plus range. I can live with that in a 6 year old car. The replacement of my passenger door skin looks to have cost me an excellent rating, and about 1500 in the estimated value with KBB...but still happy with their appraisal. Now, getting that price is another story, and taking in account all the performance mods...not even in the ball park...I will drive them till I die...lol
