I honestly can't determine why anyone would get the manual with as good as the AT trans in manual mode is. My car picked up 3MPH and 2/10ths in the 1/4 mile at the track going to manual mode in my AT. The shifts are hard like a mule kicking you in the kidneys and crisp/fast. Much faster than anyone could shift a manual. The bonus is it will hold the gear until you tap the paddle or shifter to grab the next gear.
I have a 2009 Challenger that's got a built motor, blower, etc making 600RWHP. In THAT car I had to have the manual trans. The autos in the Challenger are no where near as good as these Z transmissions are. Having said that, my manual Challenger is almost exactly .5 slower in ET at the quarter mile than an identically built/weight/etc automatic car and I can shift. |

^^ Just one with a poll apparently.
I thought you had to be a premium member to start a poll and the OP isn't. Did someone help?

6MT is nostalgic too.
I like the feel. Though, I think my next car will be AT as long as it has paddles, and that may not be by choice. Porsche doesn't have MT anymore. |

Preference is something I can surely understand. I wouldn't want an auto in my Challenger as a muscle car should be manual trans. Having said that if I break too much more crap in that car racing it I may do an auto conversion eventually and quit throwing good money after bad. It seems the manuals are much harder on parts for that 4300 lb pig. Do they not have beefed up parts for the autos for power? |
