No, I haven't driven the SRT-6 but I have driven Autostick. I understand the concept and it does do the same thing essentially. Personally, I'd rather have complete control. I want to know that when I shift it is going to do it at the exact rpm and time I want. When I'm going into a turn I need to know that when I downshift at the apex of the turn, it's going to grab and go. No delay, no maximum rpm reached, I want to toss in the clutch, throw it in gear, and let it fly.

I've always been an American Muscle kind of guy. Why? Because I know that when I step on the throttle there is nothing but straight power. There's no input or boost lag. I like to know that the things that I want are going to happen. To me, there is nothing better than a built 454 with 4 on the floor. You shift, it's goes. End of story.

If you're an autostick guy, then enjoy it. Personally, I'll never buy a car with autostick. But I guess it all comes down to preference my friend.
