The problem is that on allpar.com they mention that a 5 spd auto-stick will be used for the R/T and a 6spd for the SRT-8. IF it's true that sucks.....I want a stick with a muscle car, and I don't want to spend 40K to get one. If that's true....I'm taking Challenger off my prospective buying list.
the rt and daytona have the 5.7L, but those numbers are correct. only the srts have the 6.1L. i would never buy one though...
