I was saying that because I figure they're probably going to instead of a 5-speed...

why would you put a six speed in it?

no way, i highly doubt they would go with a6 speed...the2010 challenger's are suppose to have a manual as an option, so do you honestly think the would make a 6 speed manual? no way, this isnt europe its america...dodge wont even put 5gears in the charger with the 3.5v6 that badly needs it

well i think they did a pretty good job on the srt10 ram, and the new ram's will be amazing with 370 horse 5.7L hemi and the new looks are amazing...but yea not too impressed with the cars as i once was

^^^lol the 2.7 is a joke of an engine, and the only reason i bring that up is to point out that there is no way in hell they would put a 6 speed in the challenger, like honestly no freakin way

RE: new challenger srt8 vs mustang bullitt
Now look...I know the Mustang isn't a lightweight....but come on!
I really like much of what Dodge has to offer, but my main beef and the reason that stopped me from buying a Chrysler 300C was the weight.
Dodge has a good engine, albeit it's not going to hold much boost without needing a rebuild, but they just can't seem to take any weight off of it. Dodge's cars are PIGS!
Beside the SRT-4 [which I loved for it's weight, 28xx] all of Dodge's "performance" cars look and act like they just finished a birthday dinner at the local buffet.
That's why the times aren't what they should be...a lot of Dodge's cars would be faster if they didn't weigh so much. BUT...it's not just Dodge. The new Pontiac G8 GT is going to be over 4000!

RE: new challenger srt8 vs mustang bullitt
Have any of you noticed how high the original Challenger's and Cuda's have been going for at the big auctions. There is a huge following for these cars and a huge interest in the new ones.
