Body Roll...or the utter failure of the anti-sway bar
 
Ok, I am generally very impressed with the build quality of the Crossfire. It's clear this isn't built by Chrysler, however I was under the car yesterday changing the oil and was completely dumbfounded. I grabbed onto the sway bar to slide myself out from under the car and noticed that it moved. It's not like it moved a bunch, but there was a wiggle. I started looking at the mounting of the swaybar and noticed the flimsy metal straps that were used to mount it to the frame. I wanted to see how weak these straps were so I unbolted the sway bar ends from the LCA, then grabbed onto the bar and tugged.

I could move the sway bar about 1/4-1/2" and clearly see the mounts flexing and twisting. I can't believe that the mounts are this flimsy, however it would make for a nice cheap upgrade for an enterprising individual to start selling improved mounts.
