The old auto vs. stick debate works for '80 camaro's but as far as MB is concerned...you will not find a performance stick...even up to their SL65's, SLR's, etc...so an autostick in the SRT-6 is a given...0-60 in 4.9 seconds in a, for the most part, well-built comfortable 2-door coupe...cool...
Actually the SRT-6 has a milder ECU tune than that of the MB version. Don't worry though a chip through upsolute would fix that. Chip, pulley and exhaust would yield at least mid 12 second 1/4 miles.
The Cayman S is nice, they say it is going to be the best handling full production Porsche ever. But for that coin, I would spend a bit more and buy the new Z06.
Once I get bored with SRT-4 and the lease is up on the XF, I would be looking into Shelby GT500, used 05' GTO or maybe a SRT-6. Will have to be in the mid 20's by then. Just wish they came in 6 speed.
