Default Re: SRT6 or ?

One possible downside of the SRT6 is that it is an automatic trans only car.

I used to have a non SRT6 crossfire that was a 6-speed (traded it in for the SRT6), and overall I had more fun with the lower horsepower motor with the 6-speed than the higher horsepower motor with an auto.

Where I live, unless you are on the freeway, speed limits are usually 35mph and the roads are curvy making it much more fun with a manual.

The way I look at it is driving the manual is fun more than 80% of the time, and the supercharger is fun less than 20% of the time.

But, when you floor the SRT6, watch out! That 20% is worth quite a bit!

Good luck.
