good morning everyone this is diesel45. I will be the proud owner of a Chrysler Crossfire Limited by November 2021. I am super excited about this car but I am still undecided whether I should get a convertible or a hardtop. I’m 6’1 225 pounds and I would appreciate any input/advice given to me. so please don’t hesitate to offer your help. Additionally I would like as much information as you can on upgrading accessories and what have you for the crossfire. thank you and I’m looking forward to your comments and suggestions have a great week and an even greater weekend....be safe.

Good luck in your search, you will probably have to travel to get what you want. I have an 07 limited convertible. The limited models have more standard options . Speaking of options that's what the convertible gives that the coupe doesn't , top up or top down.
I've had several convertibles this is the quietest one , no rattles and low wind noise . The coupe I would think is more quieter and chassis maybe feel firmer . Either way you can't go wrong take you time and do the research.

The other difference between the Coupe & Roadster is the capability to haul "more stuff" when traveling. Not to offend any of our female membership, but when the Wife & I take a road trip in our Crossfire, I definitely require the Coupe!

For u it hast to be the roadster, your weight and height will mean if you don't have torticollis , u will within a week. in the roadster u have about an extra 1 to 2 inches head room. I am 5.11 and had to lower my seat ( changed the seat frame ) so i could wear my helmet at the track.
do your self a favor because u have time to do it do a test drive in both ..... jim
