Get the SRT6 and enjoy the nice bump in power. Every time you floor it you'll be reminded of the excellent decision you made.

Well, my last comment, is, I know you will daily drive it....I have driven both, and I do like the limited, but went for the "limited" production ones... I have one of each SRT's and love them more than any old muscle car I have owned, and I have owned some good ones... You can have one of 2012 made, and even more rare in Canada...just me... You must like rare cars, there, Delorian and all....lol

I'd pick the SRT just because its blue, but thats just me. The mileage really doesn't mean anything to me. My Limited roadster has 70,000 Miles on it now and runs like a champ! I personally don't like vehicles with extraordinarily low mileage because either way it means it has sat for periods of time. I would be concerned with problems like varnish in the fuel tank and lines, which can occur after as little as a couple of weeks of sitting stagnant. Seals also have a tendency of drying out when they don't get the constant splash of oil required to keep them properly lubricated. After extended periods of time the oil film on parts can become too thin to properly protect components on first startup.
Just my $.02 from my mechanical experience.

I can help you with this one, no problem man. Get the SRT I have a limited Crossfire 2005
I love it, but I have never seen a SRT on the road in 5 years and a very few Limited Crossfires and so those SRT's are rare man. And I always am looking, either one you get you will enjoy
Don't envy you having to choose. Good luck That't my $ 0.15 worth
