Hmmmm... "The salesman said..." I would start to get suspicious as soon as his gum flaps parted (& I am in sales). For anyone to try to tell me they are having trouble with a manual sounds like they want to close the deal on the automatic. They can't sell inventory they don't have therefore cast doubt on the future.

OF COURSE this car will have a manual offered...[sm=pimp.gif]

NO doubt about it. Production set for next summer. They'll be showing it in Chicago.

I would keep the spoiler and when an aftermarket one exists that you like bolt that one on instead and sell the old one.

Maybe cost wise it is a even wash.

DamnSkippy, that would be a cross breed of some sort.

I will plan to keep the stock spoiler myself. But for others that want to delete it, they should keep it but change it with another one that they like later.

I will keep my stock one as well. I agree with you about other's who want the delete. i'd wait as well 'til I found one that did it for me too. Wow....this was a good exercise....I just looked at the production spyshots again....the more I look at it the more I like it. Very true to the concept. I don't mind the b pillar..I find the spoiler subtle enough to remain.

The one thing that blows me away about this shot.....is the lack of pimp tint....I certainly hope DARK TINT is available. Hemi Orange and Black Grey windows is just so right.

The salesman I spoke to said there is no certainty that a manual transmission will be available in the calendar year 08 even with the 09 model.
That would suck... if I can't get a manual SRT8 I'll just have to supercharge my Mustang.
The manual has to be on the 09 model... they need to compete with the Mustang and Camaro. From the news, I'm guessing the 08s will all be SRT 6.1L automatics, then the SRT and RT 09s will come out in summer with both auto and manual options... just a guess. I hope late 09 will offer some options and no dealer mark ups.

What about the dual-clutch transmission option? 2009 or 2010 model? I want a manual, but if my wife is ever going to drive it (shudder at the thought), she demands an auto. In some ways, the dual-clutch gives you the best of both worlds (without a clutch pedal).
