How is the auto in the SRT8
I have been thinking of buying one, but not sure if I want to slum in a standard in a car like this.

I had an SRT-8 Jeep. Those are only autos, it was ok but rowing the gears is way more fun. Strong trans and shifts good but I'm not sure I'd want it as I dont find them as much FUN personally to drive.

I think a lot of dealerships have had a hard time selling them because of big price gouging!, and a lot of people that like the car are deterred by their greed.

I own a 6 speed, and i personally think they are a lot of fun to drive, i test drove an auto, and they are very smooth shifting, via Daimler's technology, they have come a long way, test drive both if you get a chance, it just boils down to personal preference.

I have a couple friends that have the autos, and they love them and they are quick, and one friend has a 6 speed stick one, he loves it too, I would personally get a 6 speed if it were me, but that is me.

Is it just me, or does that steering wheel just look HUGE

LOL, I'd say it probably is an optical illision most likely, and the flash off it as well. I'll probably be seeing a friend who has one sometime this weekend, I'll sit in it and see how it looks from that perspective...

Yes... my 2009 SRT8 Challenger is a manual. Love it... the pistol grip shifter is a work of art and fits your hand like a glove!
