Why would I want a manual in the SRT-6? Simply because when I drove the SRT-6, stock, it did not feel as fast as it should be. In fact, my Crossfire coupe 6-speed feels much faster through everyday driving. You can really feel the torque of the engine with the 6-speed. I tried everything I could during the test drive (using the "autostick function") to convince my mind that this car was better than my 6-speed...but my mind just couldn't agree. The tranny swap never was intended for significant performance gains, instead, I want it so that the driving experience can be improved. The SRT-6 has a great engine, but I feel that it's power can be felt best by having a manual transmission in place.
that's great news, awesome that Dr. Evil responded.

hope all goes well.
