General Challenger DiscussionThis section contains general discussion about the Dodge Challenger. If it does not fit into a more specific area, it probably belongs in here. (Dodge Challenger General Discussion)
Forgot about timing chain issue from the stupid MDS, which our Jeep has. Good point. 6 speed it is again. I'll tell her nothing changes other than having a newer, better version of the car. If not, keeping the DY.
Lots of interesting, (and rude, un-informed) comments here. I went from a supercharged 6 speed SRT8 to an auto 392. Go ahead and tell me I'm not enjoying my car, while I blow your doors off. The 6 speed is fun, but SLOW compared to an automatic. I still have three sticks in the family, a Jeep, an SRT4 and a 308. Guess what...the Challenger is the car I pick to drive 9 out of 10 times. With the stick, I got tired of having to run the living crap out of it to get a thrill. Now, I step on it and go. And with the new supercharger installed, you're gonna play hell keeping up with me. Street or strip.
And for the "expert" that said "you are not going to get the same pleasure" with an auto car, ptooie! May 1 dozen camels poop in your bed sheets.

You can buy it at your local Dodge dealer and every M6 car comes with it, free of charge. It is called "Torque Management" and it means your PCM pulls power each time you shift. When it happens, the micro-seconds are ticking away and your acceleration is suffering. This is why light mods, i.e. CAI/custom tune, on a 5.7 auto typically lead to wins against the 6.1 manuals. A 392 auto vs. a 392 manual drag race is a win in the AUTOMATIC column.

I can turn everything off with the push of a special little button...
Plus that goes to show you, the M6 requires some sort of management because of the power, unlike the Auto...you get MDS

Back in 2011 I drove an IE car with a slush box as the dealer didn't have a 6spd. The whole time I was wondering when the power was gonna show up. I might as well have been driving my truck.
