Yes an 8 speed offers more refinement and a better optimization of gear spacing and can allow for a better 1st gear as well as a longer top hear.

What I was saying was simply judging a car ONLY on the number of gears in the trans. Would I like to see an 8 speed in the SS? Absolutely! Would I buy an SRT only because it did have an 8 speed? No I would not.
I would buy the SRT because it is the better performing car myeelf. More power, 4 wheel brembos vs front wheel only, bilstien adjustable suspension, better FE (even with the old 5 speed auto). not to mention you are not going to mistake a SRT Charger or 300 for an 06 Impala anytime soon.
