DML,
I test drove 5.2s with sticks and bought the R/T anyway... Can you say
shift kit? Ive got 12.5 miles to drive each way to work and back and the
fastest Ive done it in is 30 minutes. Average is about 45. If I had to row
that distance Id have eaten someones bumper by now (a modified 360 magnum
can be an animal at part throttle). I would have loved the auto stick
option If they had it for the R/T... Wait, I swore Id never join the stick
vs. auto debate... Arrgh...

I was wondering what your setup was Colin. I have the 98 5.2
with the 9.25 3.92 anti-slip. These gears will throw your head
back with the 5 speed.
Lookin forward to my first R/T encounter.
