I just have one question about the SRT-6 and I'm sorry you have all probably heard it many times but...
I love the car and everything about it, except the auto. I have an SRT4 now and have driven manuals all my life for my "toy" cars. I was just wondering how the transfer from the manual to the auto is for most people? I think I could deal with it at first but after a while it would really bother me, but I have no idea. I think a 6spd is too involved and pricey and I assume the paddle shifter would be fairly easy but very expensive, but I don't know.
I personally have never owned an auto, always go with the manual. Almost didn't go SRt6 since I couldn't get a manual, but I have no regrets. The transition to the auto was quite easy, and I fell that the auto-stick works quite nicely once you take the time to learn how it thinks. i.e. Holding it to the left will force the tranny into the lowest possible gear for great downshifting accleration. If you shift the auto stick just as you would a manual-letting off the gas as you shift-it even feels similar. Notice I said similar
.
All-in-all, no regrets from a man that swore to never own an auto. I love this car!!
