    I would think not. The car sits quite low to the ground, and it is a low car.

    Here we go again................

    Once again, they are offering up 6-month leases on Crossfires. For whatever reason, they do not build the SRT anymore. :(

    So I would go for the Limited Roadster, which comes with a 6-speed, and of course, a convertible top. My wife went into the system to order, and of course there were no more Roadsters available. Bummer. I can still get a Limited Coupe, but the only appeal of it is the 6-speed tranny. They are rated at 220bhp, which is not too bad, but after having had the SRT last summer, I have to imagine it will feel anemic.

    Does anyone know what the 0-60mph time of the Limited Coupe 6-speed is?

    So I am not sure what to do. The Coupe would cost about $250/month, which includes insurance and maintenance. What would you guys do? Would you settle for the Coupe 6-speed, or just save the $250/month?

    $250/month, which includes insurance and maintenance

    I'd grab that deal in a heartbeat.

    I really like the crossfire and for that kind of money? Its basically free.

    Good luck deciding.

    i have been considering one for autocrossing.

    every road test i read pans them, but the test figures say it is as fast as a boxter in acceleration and on the slalom.

    i cannot figure out why it was dissed by the testers.

    i like the looks too. i think it is lighter than the clk as well.

    Glad to hear that your wife still has her job at Chrysler...I remember a few months ago you were on pins and needles.

    Everything that I can find says 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds top end at 155mph

    I'd go with the 'vert as summer in Michigan will be on us in no time (I hope)

    Good luck with whatever you decide.
