English is either not be your first language or you just had a little too much spiked egg nog yesterday.

Ashon,
Re-read the topic at hand. It pertains to an SRT-6 + manual tranny swap not just SRT vs. Vette (

note the period dot. The period dot indicates the end of my response to your statement.
SRT6_Roadster is another member on this forum and I wrote a reply to his comment also.
What your failing to see is the overall big picture. We're not talking about '80-'90's stang's and camaro's where a long weekend, a few friends over and plenty of pizza and beer will get the job done...
In general, Mercedes manual transmissions are no where near as refined as there auto's. This is directly related to the lack of demand for sticks in M.B.'s and thus their R+D time and money spent on producing manual transmissions. Now compare this to their automatic transmission setups and even more important the fact that AMG (Mercedes "tuner" company) gets a hold of their autostick and makes improvements on it. These "upgraded" auto transmissions are found in all AMG cars including the old SLK32 (SRT-6).
I guess if someone is really bored, really wealthy, and really patient in dealing with your own R+D'ing, troubleshooting and voiding a large part of the warranty...go ahead and knock yourself out. Exercises in futility has never been my thing...
