Default RE: Some EXCELLENT R/T and SE Pics

Call me a sourpuss, killjoy, whatever... I don't think the SE model should have the same scooped hood as the R/T and SRT8 - I think they should have a standard flat hood. If EVERY Challenger has a scooped hood, it kinda loses its "wow" factor. Think if every 70-74 Challenger or Cuda had a shaker hood, even the Slant-6 models... wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, would it. [&:]

While I'm harping on the SE models (actually harping on Dodge), they need to dump that stuck-in-the-90's 4-speed automatic once and for all. Surely that was chosen as a cost-saving measure, but imagine how much MPG they could get if they had the same 6-speed auto that's in the Avenger. They should give the SE a choice of a manual tranny also - it's a shame that the SE buyers are gonna get hosed with such a prehistoric transmission choice (or lack of a better one).
