I guess it depends on what you really want. If you want an Auto then get an SRT-6. It's a shame the SRT-6 doesn't come in manual. I think a lot of MT SRT's would have sold because this car was designed to be thrown around with the manual tranny. It feels more sporty to me.

Anyway, $19K is a hell of a deal. If I was looking at a Auto I probably could have gotten mine for less but it was the only manual in the area so my options were limited. You won't be disappointed with either one and if you like the looks of the SRT you can easily get the bumper and rims put on but the LTD is a very well put together car that shouldn't be snubbed at due to it's lack of power (which now can be re-gained with an ECU tune).
