I'm on the brink of sending Bob an email saying to swap my order from Auto to Manual... This has been all I've thought about since creating this thread.
Anyone have some videos to link of some V8 goodness growling through some speed-shifts?

Perhaps reassure me of how much fun it will be.
Preferably of people doing so on an onramp to get up to speed. I can sense that I will be doing just the same if I get a manual. Worrying about gas mileage is for prius owners -- who cares how much gas I eat hearing the car growl at high rpms. I wouldn't even be considering an srt8 if I couldn't afford the gas.
