That said, I agree with your attitude about manual shifting. Despite the SRT's explosive acceleration (there is no boost lag, none, zip, nada). Go fast is very fast got it?), I prefer to participate in the vehicles movement over the ground. It is not "better", it is just more fun for me. Personal preference.

Be careful boasting about manual vrs auto here. The guys and gals get testy about their preferences but when you start comparing performance using "opinions" and "preferences" they will trounce you with the stats.

And, ususally be right.

Or jump in with boldness, and get and education. Friendly mostly.

Haha. Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind the next time I think about saying something in regards to auto and manual. I guess I'll just have to drive an SRT-6 and see what all the fuss is about.
