If you'd move the Dragon to Colorado I would come! I like the Carloina's but I'm not sure I want to drive 3K miles.

I have also made the switch and it is amazing...we need someone with creativity to come up with some kind of "once you go SRT6 you'll never go back" jingle that makes sense and rhymes....

Uncle O, congrats, when I was looking for a Crossfire my wife and I took an 05 Limited convertible out and she really liked the car. I took her out in the SRT and the first time I nailed it her words were "Holy S***". That's all it took to bring home the SRT coupe. You will have a lot more fun in the passing lane.

bflinn i think that blueareo just answered your request without knowing. 'You will have a lot more fun in the passing lane.' someone can take this and run with it. ex: 'life is much better in the passing lane'...not a wordsmith

You get used to it, CG! It doesn't degrade the rear window view (not that there is much "view" anyways!), has that nice center line thing going for it & doesn't stick out like some cheap add-on.
When i was looking at the SRT I thought the same thing "I'm not so sure about that wing" & I really liked the retractable spoiler on the Coupe. But the spoiler is only one small part of the car. I'll take the rocket under the hood as a compromise!
For some odd reason I still seemed to get more 'looks' with the Coupe than with the SRT, though.

How many SRT-6 owners who started out with the 6 as their first Crossfire wouldn't mind getting a second NA Crossfire? If I could afford it, and had a place to park it, I'd be all over a red six speed roadster.
