That sucks! I've made the mistake of buying automatic performance cars twice before. I'll never do it again. I had a '69 Dodge Superbee with an auto, and a '93 twin turbo RX7 auto. Although I loved both cars, I regretted buying both of them. Any and every performance car should be hooked up to a manual trans. No offense to you auto lovers, but I'd say that either you're not completely comfortable driving a manual vehicle, or your not true performance car enthusiasts. Just my opinion. I had my heart set on a Crossfire ever since I saw the concept at the Philly international auto show. I was a bit disapointed with the numbers of the crossfire untill I heard they would make the SRT6. It renewed my passion for the car. That is, untill now. Oh well, I'll have to save up a little bit more for my SRT10 RAM! SIX speed manual and 500 HP. Not to mention the fact that the valve covers say VIPER! Mopar rules!
