Says he gives you everything to change your NA to a SRT6. Includes all the software and components to get the engine working right!

Check it out!

 

And what about the low compression pistons?

 

Frankly if I wanted an SRT6 that bad, I would not spend this kind of money on parts, plus labor. i would just sell my NA, and buy an SRT6.

 

If it even does work after time and labor it would be cheaper to just trade your NA for a SRT6.

 

the most expensive part of this kit is the AMG SC which I think cost $4000 new from the dealer.

If you use the Eaton SC from the T-bird, they can be had for $100-$400

 

An SRT is an SRT. An NA is simply that, a lower powered version of the samebody. what ever youdo to the NA, it will never be an SRT.

If you converted a brand new '08 Limited you would have a b*stard and would end up with a car having a lower value than a used SRT. But it would never "be" an SRT.

If you bought an 04 and spent the money on a supercharger kit, and then the pistons and then the drive line and then the suspension..... You would end up paying more than a low milage SRT sells for now. And you wouldn't have an SRT.

If your ego can afford it, waste the money. But for the price, why not just buy an SRT.

'Cause if you did, you would have one. And they are worth it. If you want one, why compromise?

SRT's only come in auto!

Why do SRT owners always ignore this fact. Some people do not like Auto's. This is the fact. Given this information changing the NA over via boost is the only option.

 

Well, I'm with you there pal. Spent 6 mosths finding the exact car I wanted.

Some comprimise was possible but the manual trannny was a must. Still, wouldn't mind having the SRT power, even with an Auto.

Guys who own 'em say , once you get used to it, you'll be happy to give up the stick.

I .....don't think so.

So if you want a stick, supercharged Exfire, plan to spend money. And as far as I know, you are blazing the trail.

Keep us posted. A lot of us clutch burner die hards wouldn't mind stepping out with the SRT crowd. We'd likely get smoked on the launch but it would be fun to try and keep up.

why not install the nitrous ECU tune from in motion and drive a bottle fed x-fire with the manual.

 

you guys are so boring. i say go for it. the only reason im sure half of us havent bought an srt is cause manual is fun as hell. and wouldnt a manual "srt" be faster then an auto srt? HMMM idk. go for it. tell me how it goes. i will probably join you if its a success

 

This kit sounds interesting. Normally forced induction requires a lower compression ratio. I would ask the person selling the kit if they have had any issues with detonation etc. This sounds interesting, and for all the manual lovers out there I agree, I love driving a manual. But the price per performance of the SRT got me. So I will have to get my manual fix with my RX7.

 

short answer. NO.

a manual SRT would not be faster than the current SRT. Given all the same specifications except for transmissiong the autostick would win in a straight line drag race. The design and engineering of the autostick transmission is far superior to 99% of all "manual" enthusiast's driving skill. It takes human error out of the equation and replaces it with well defined and executed shift points. The fact that taking an SRT down a 1/4 mile starts by putting it in 1st gear and hit the go button and letting it accelerate through the gears on its own beats out a manual transmission. So if you are a "purist" as some would say then stick with the manual tranny, retractable wing, and N/A engine. Priorities are everything lin life, if they aren't in order then chaos ensues.

My $.02


P.S. I do not consider myself a "purist", but I do not drive an SRT and I do drive a manual, base coupe. Take it for what you will. Research wins out over assumption everytime.

 

I would think it would be a lot cheaper and more effective to simply buy an SRT and put the manual tranny in it.

 

eh i havent found many good auto sticks yet then? because whenever i drive it the car still shifts when ever it wants to and it takes like 5 seconds to shift after i click it. anywho. cold air intake comes in the mail today. WOO :] hopefully i can figure out how to put the darn thing in there.

 

The auto stick in the SRT-6 is not Chrysler. It is not your daddys auto stick.
Unless you have driven the SRT don't assume it isn't any different.

That said, it still isn't a stick.

I can't believe I'm promoting an auto-stick.

(Don't anyone let on to Chi-Town.)

freethinking infidel!

some day you will probably become "roadster with an autostick"

 

I've thought about doing this whenever the tranny decides to go. There should be some MB manual tranny's that you could slap in there.

I agree with Tom that this is probably the best and possibly more affordable way to get a manual in the SRT, but the autostick is nice for drag racing from a dig, not so much from a roll

 

Thanks for the cheer my friend.

I'm workin' on it.



Roadster with a stick

 

manual trans weighs less than the autostick

gets better milage

and drag racing in a auto is just not fun, i mean a freakin 90 year old lady can hit the gas and hold on to the steering wheel

auto trans lose more hp from motor to wheels than the manual

 

It can't be too tough to do. I mean, the drive train is almost identical between the base/limited/SRT, the manual transmission from the limited should drop right in. OK, you might need to beef up the springs in it, or the clutch plate, bur that shouldn't be too terrible.

I also agree with Roaster with a Stick. The autostick in the SRT is a far cry from the other autosticks that I've driven. The Mitsubishi and Toyota models are total crap. This is much different. AMG knows how to make a tranny. I still HATE the lag between when I tell it to shift and when it does. That really smokes me. But it is the BOMB for drag racing. I wouldn't want it for autocross though.
