stick shift
I own a hemi orange auto R/T. Got to drive a Hemi stick shift today, what a difference! MUCH faster, and a Mean sounding exhaust! Wish I had gone with the manual! Get the manual if you are planning to buy. Just my opinion! Wrongway

RE: stick shift
originally ordered the automatic.... but after seeing that the MPG was the same even with the MDS only on the automatic.... changed my order to the manual... i guess one advantage to waiting 4 months with not even getting to "D" status

RE: stick shift
is this why the manual tranny costs $950 more?.....The six-speed Tremec TR-6060 manual transmission was derived from the 600 horsepower 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10, with triple cone synchronizers in first and second gears and dual cone synchronizers for third through sixth gears, along with modifications including new gear ratios. The clutch is the Viper’s (ZF-Sachs) 250 mm twin-disc design for torque capacity and clutch life, low pedal efforts, excellent engagement qualities and optimized spinning inertia; it features a 1-4 skip-shift and reverse inhibit solenoids, with a 5:1 remote shifter. Hill Start Assist (HSA) is standard with the manual transmission; it holds the brake for three seconds and allows the driver to seamlessly apply torque via throttle for an effortless start. The brake automatically releases when the system senses engine torque. Also included with the manual transmission is a unique dual exhaust that has two low-restriction bottle resonators replacing the underfloor muffler, and bright pedals.
