Default contemplating purchase

Hi all,

contemplating ordering 2009 SRT8 Orange with all the toys. Undecided for automatic or 6 speed. Any thoughts? What have experiences been?

you're gonna be hard pressed to get an opinion on a 6spd manual yet as I don't think there's any on the road.I can tell you though that I LOVE my 08 with the Auto,either way it'll be one hell of a car and you shouldn't be dissapointed.

The option of 6 speed manual or automatic has got to be your choice. For me if I bought it for a daily driver I would get an automatic but I am not going to use it for a daily driver because I have to use a company vehicle. This is a vehicle for use on my personal time and I want to enjoy the driving experience.

Just remember that a manual will keep you busy.

You can't be smoking, using the cell phone and eating while you are driving a manual. If you are let me know and I will get out of the way.

You will enjoy it anyway because it is a Challenger.

Get one! Auto vs manual is your decision, but the car itself is fabulous. I have never enjoyed a car as much as I am enjoying this Challenger. I feel such a sense of satisfaction every time I drive this car that I almost cannot believe it. Best purchase I have made in a long long time.
