How was I on your sac?

I was simply commenting on something you saw as a performance aspect whereas I am not looking at it as a performance vehicle. I am done with racing and building ungodly vehicles for the street...that was all I was trying to get across

i wasn't looking at it in the performance standpoint either. they could at least MAYBE offer a manual for those who'd rather shift.

Yeah true but being that it is being offered as an entry level luxury vehicle I doubt many would sell and it has also been proven that wagons with manual trannys are notoriously horrible sellers.

Gotta look at it from a money making stance rather than just an enthusiast stance because the enthusiast market is still only about 10% (if that) of total sales of new vehicles....most buy them used and the company of manufacture never sees a dime from the sale.

What tranny do they use in the Magnum? The 545RFE in my Ram isn't that good (shifts are pretty mushy). They don't offer a manual in the Ram 1500 either, so i was stuck with the oh so slushy slushbox. Oh well, the HEMI is still a great engine.

I don't think Nightshade gives a rats about what we think about the car. I know I wouldn't. Once my mind is made up and I like the car after the test drive I'll buy it.
