That car is totally badass. I want one so bad.
And to clear up the confusion on the automatic/stick thing..... The 2008 model came strictly as an SRT8 with only the automatic tranny, and was built with a low production number. The 2009 is the full year production run of the car so you can get the stick or the automatic with either HEMI.
My only real ? about what Chrysler was thinking is 1) Y didn't they offer a stick with the base v6, and who's the idiot who said to mate the 3.5 with a 4speed automatic when the Charger, 300, and Magnum when equipped with the 3.5 get a 5speed? and 2) Why isn't there a cheaper 4.7 v8 model offered as a mid to upper $20k car? Still puts the Mustang as the better bang for the buck considering how you can get a base v8 for $26k and use the other $4-5k you saved over the R/T Challenger for a supercharger.
