Re: Automatic transmission in a sports car!!!???

I do like my stick. I have an NA coupe that is my daily driver. I'd hate to think what the insurance rate on a manual SRT-6 would be

I seem to remember high performance cars taking an extra hit from the insurance man if they had a manual tranny.

The car has enough torque that driving the stick in traffic isn't a real problem. Sitting in a traffic jam stinks no matter what you're driving.

The only grumble I have is that the Crossfire shifter is rather notchy. I've driven cars that shifted much smoother. Still and all, I wouldn't trade for the autostick. My first sportscar experiences were in MG's and Triumphs. Guess that makes me a purist
