I think
99 % of all DML'ers with 318 5 speeds wanted to join the
R/T class, but just could not part w/the 5 speed tranny.
I know I'm one of them. You put a 5 speed in an R/T and
you'll have one of (or) the FINEST sport truck ever made,
thats "my opinion" and its not up for discussion. If we
could all test drive one (w/5spd) I'm sure there would be
an increase in the number of manual members on the DML. I
know others need the auto and I understand that, Just give
us that option d%#@*!! I know...."The voice of one crying
in the wilderness".
