    Ummmm... a long way off butt... I'm really hoping to score this for 800 bux and do it up down the road...   A '56 Plymouth Plaza. Just a 6 with 3 speed.   Kinda neat.    Slap in a 440 er 5.7 with a blower.  :stirpot:

    LOL!! all the reason's you want one are the reason's I bought mine (ya gotta keep the old rattly stuff tho..its wayyy cooler)...in my deal I also got 1.9 for 60 mo.s.  this is my first new car ever and I have had over 300 cars!!..always some elses junk (not really  I love junk!!)...I love the 6-speed!...altho 6 this just a highway gear  lol..one  troubling design flaw..i do not like is the pass. side only backseat entrance...that is a pain if you ever have passengers!!..maybe they fixed it by now..dunno..I don't often carry passengers but it is a pain for them.... the car rocks I also have the track pack with 3.92's... you will love the car...I can tell!!!..keep looking you will find the "one"...I was 47 when I bought my first new car and it rocks....I still got plenty of old muscle cars..but sometimes its really nice to just jump in and go 1300 miles!!...good luck!!

    p.s. i'm also surprised at the attention this thing still gets!!

    I'd find a used 2008(?)-2010 SRT8 black 6-speed.

    Stance is everything and these cars needs at least a 1" drop IMHO:

    IMO
    Auto are faster at drags but not as much fun on the street as manual. It is always good to get rid of a little stress by grabbing a couple gears with the manual.
