Just out of curiosity has anyone on this forum or anyone that you know of spent the money to make the automatic SRT-6 trans into a manual trans?

 

No.

(Useless crap to make up 10 spaces here)

 

HDDP is in the process of installing an SRT motor into his 6 speed Limited. But for racing use; I don't think it will be street legal.

Personally - I like the AutoStick in the SRT - I can slap stick that puppy thru canyon curves like heck. It knows when I want to be in the "Sport" mode VS the "Granny" mode.

 

I couldn't agree more.

I had a nice little drift going around a turnaround earlier today. I pulled into it, dropped a gear, punched it and carried it through. I was able to hold the speed quite easily with two hands on the wheel while the car shifted itself when it was ready!

It was fun until the damn TC kicked in...

I can live with the auto - but that TCS/ESP is a PITA, and if I ever lose control of this car it will likely be caused by that system messing me up while trying to handle the ride.

why bother when you can now just bolt in a vortec onto the crossfire NA motor.

 

Maxwell, did they finally make true a bolt-on kit? Or does this still retire your spiel about kleeman tuning, custom this, custom that? How many PSI, and how much power? I'd say it would be lower than the SRT if for no other reason than the compression ratio and 'safety'.

I may be forced to sell my SRT due to my wife's education - but a cheap limited could be a gas saving option until she is done.

read the tech forum. also heard the kleeman tune is OEM factory settings, lol... tune not required.
