It was such a poor choice not to offer an manual tranny on that. Anyone buying an SRT car mostlikely wants a stick, at least the option to have one. Thats like making M3's with only automatics. If anything they should only offer sticks and no automatics, not the other way around. Other than that it is indeed a very sweet car (though not what I'd get if I had $50,000, can you say white S4 avant
)
