Re: Challenger Powertrain Question - Part 2 - Transmission Selection

Chrysler: please build the Challenger just as it sits at the Detroit Auto Show. Don't ruin it with that ridiculous Auto-Stick - you know, the one that you have to manually shift 500 RPM BEFORE the redline to avoid hitting the rev limiter. The same one that shifts softer than my old Cordoba (remember those?). A performance car need guts and a real driver. Save the autos for that peculiar crowd that wants to look good and still get V-6 mileage. You blew it with the 4-door Charger; here is your chance to redeem yourselves and put me back in a Mopar where I belong!
Why did you post the same message on Challenger Powertrain Question - Part 1 ?
