Can't wait till they start putting them in the SRT8's.. The 8 speeds

You have a different deffinition of "smoke" than I do.
I read one review of the R/T that said the "mere 370 HP engine dropped the 0-60 time to under 7 seconds"
Your Dodge weighs 4400 pounds
I'm sure it's a great drive but pretty sure it's not smoking the SS stock to stock.
And the eight speed is not available on the R/T or the SRT yet. Maybe soon. The 8 speed is available in the V6 only according the Dodge website. Both V8s are listed as 5 speed automatic.
And the R/T will run you just South of 40k.
All in all I don't think the car is a fail with 415 HP but somehow a champ with 450. 35 is nice but not enough to go from 0 to hero.
