Holy Crap 107 Traps?

Now, we can all agree that this will be like the 12 second F-body with that awesome 1.98 60' on street tires.

But damn, 13.2 is flying for a bone stock 4 door sedan.

From what was posted on other forums that was on a tune (and possibly a CAI?) (his stock runs where 13.6ish or so) still pretty damn bad ***. The G8 GXP is gonna be pretty damn bad *** if all the G8 GTs pull this off with just a tune and CAI.

Are they coming out in manual? I heard it was rumored they were throwing only an automatic transmission and useless automatic w/manualshifting function(which as proven on SRT-8's and Charger R/T's thatit doesn'thelp ET or act like a real manual transmissionat the strip).

I could be wrong, but, I'm pretty sure that there will be an option for a 6speed manual in the GXP atleast.

yes, there is a 5speed manua option, but this is a very clean looking car, i might get my wife one, or a SRT8 charger you know for the family
