Must have been a stick. Never heard of any complaints with the auto

I doubt we'll have any problem hooking with an 8 speed automatic. All the guys that go around bragging about the SRT being a low 12 second car drive the auto.

Ditto. The auto kicks butt with the Hemi. A dude I raced with can't get out of the 13's if his life depended on it lol (stick shift), his 60 fts. are stuck at 2.2/2.3, but he still manages 13.2/13.3@111mph which is actually pretty terrible but I don't say anything

If I get him just right at the tree with the reaction time, I can out launch and keep him off the entire 1/4, most of the time he puts about two cars on me and keeps me there. Not a terrible difference imo, but once he gets tires he should be right at mid 12's.. no reason he wouldn't. Still a great car that 392 Challenger/stick. I actually wouldn't even mind the RT with the 8 speed, always wanted a Chally since 2009...

Yea, this guy had a manual. I hear the autos are way nastier. He just couldn't get it to bite no matter what he tried.

The manuals are neutered.... high 12s are great times from the manual version... the autos are serious business.

im pretty sure I could hit low 12s with the 8 speed but may never find out. My wife is backpedalling and she's saying she'll miss her bright red Camaro.

Nooooooooooooooooo

The NAG1 is great in the 392, despite it being ancient. Even in my 5.7, it straight up hooks and extremely responsive since I have modded it. I never heard anything good about the sticks except that it's in the Viper. Big whoop, it sucks lol. Gears grind, the shifter is known to break, etc.

Ditto.. I was considering one except for it running high 12's. I couldn't imagine only running high 12's in a 392/stick when my 09 did it with 100 less hp and 0.7 less liters! WTF, eh? lol

It's like no one keeps auto 392's on the lot or something!

You gotta be kidding me. She must be a die hard bowtie gal if she wants the SS over the Mopar. That 392 is sick as hell. I like the newer '14 SS's over the older one, especially the ZL1 but the 392 still gets my vote.

Any updates? no means no I guess, eh? lol

LOL I got beat down on two different fronts. We took the car to the dealer and the bozos only wanted to give us 25k in trade for a mint 2011 with 12k miles. That's about 4 grand to low and they wouldn't budge on the cost of the chally. Momma was actually happy about all of this. She loves her SS to death so that's that.
