Looking for advice on ordering an srt.

[Maddys013]

Not sure whether to go 6 spd or auto. Will mostly be a daily driver with a super short commute interspersed with a 500-1000 mile round trip almost monthly.

6 spd seems like a lot of shifting. Do you leave it in 4th around town? Do you jump a few gears to get it to 6th sometimes?

Likely won't bother with the sunroof or Harmon Kardon. Any other thoughts on what you like or don't like would be appreciated.

Personally I like the auto you may manually shift if you like I like sunroofs too.

Ditto I have an Auto with Sunroof for the open air feeling when I cruise.

I use my '12 SRT for daily driving and it's an auto. The 6-speed would be fun but there are some days where I'm just downright lazy.

I have a 6 spd and my wife has an auto. They are both great. If you plan on doing a lot of drag racing the auto will be faster. If you are going to be doing a lot of highway travel, and it sounds like you are, keep in mind the 6 spd is doing around 90 at 2000 rpms. That's a nice cruising gear.
Around town I use 1 through 5. I don't use 6 until I'm doing at least 60. I don't feel like I'm spending a lot of time shifting. After driving both, my wife likes the 6 spd a little better but she was worried about her arthritis so she went with the auto.

Test drive a stick car, I think you'll like it.

I like the stick and with the power of these cars you can skip gears if you want, 1-3, 2-4, 3-5, etc. 6th is reserved for 55-60+. Almost 40,000 later I still enjoy shifting. Like others said if you want to go fast in the 1/4 go with an automatic. It will not only be faster it will also be cheaper.

I am guessing the auto is cheaper to run because shifting the 6 spd is a little too much fun? Hence more gas listening to the exhaust?

I usually run 1-4 around town. The six speed is a blast to drive. Make sure you test drive both then make your choice. Good luck and let us know what you bought.

How lazy can you be? I don't care about shifting at all, love it everytime I shift. It is just so much more freedom.

[RoostKing]

If you test drive the 6 speed, that is the car you will buy. Yes, you can skip shifts.
