You bring up a interesting point about a DCT equipped car being quicker. There have been multiple threads where we timed our shifts and compared them to the advertised shift times of the quickest automatics. The automatic should be 2-3 tenths quicker. But, if I was going to buy any of the cars you mentioned, I would only buy a stick. They are simply more fun to drive, IMO. Most consumers feel that way and that is why those cars come with manuals.Uh huh. You're saying that if a DCT was available to make it faster they would use it? Look at the Viper SRT10, ZR1, GT500 and neither of them use an auto. Autos are available. They just firmly believe in using the manual over the auto. Audi could have brought the DCT over for the TT-RS, but instead used the manual which makes it a half second slower.
What cutouts do you have?
Whats wrong with 14s?
It's rated for high 13s, shouldn't be running 14s at all. It's bad enough Dodge gave it a shitty auto to be a half second slower than the RC which run low 13s and with a few mods can break 12s. Pretty much the same with the LX/LC SRT8s are running. Otherwise there are better options in the 14s.
^^^Dumbest thing I have ever read in my entire life. TOWING MAYBE???????
Its just a noise maker, no performance gains or losses that I can tell.
here the 2nd gear got broken...
What happened to second gear, Sammy?
Your written english is excellent! Thanks for the explanation.the band didnt grip on the drum to hold first gear , so second gear wasnt there anymore , i managed to drive home for 120miles , but everytime when the truck went to second gear , i had to loose the trottle until it went in 3th gear , from there i could drive at the highway with no props , but second gear was totaly gone , when i reved gas in second gear it went to 4 - 5000 rpm without power...
do u understand my writing ?
i'm Belgian , so english isnt my language...
I'm pretty sure Ralph Gilles said tht making a 4 door viper tuck was the the dumbest thing that SRT ever did.

Ok cool I guess I have the dumbest thing to ever roll off the SRT line, great.
Ralph Gilles is the dumbass for not releasing a boosted engine for the SRT8. Those guys are competing against a Mustang at nearly half its price and a GT500 around the same price. The Jeep SRT8 used to compete against the X5M, RR, and Cayenne for half and even a third of the price. Now it still runs the same numbers but with a heavy price increase. Everybody else is upping the HP or finding ways to make their car faster, but the SRT8 still continues to come up short, even for value now. Even the SRT10 came up short until recently when they added some technology to make it compete against the ZR1, GTR, and other supercars.
That's why a lot of SRT8 owners went to Ford to get their Mustang GT for half the price, or GT500 for the same price, or ZL1/V for some luxury, myself included. Some are even going import; M3/M5/X5M, GTR, C63/E63, etc. Just like when I leave Dodge again, I won't be back until they make something more competitive and priced better. Don't see that happening anytime soon. Only came back because there was no way I was going back to an SRT8 again after I had it for close to 3 years. Figured I'd give the SRT10 a shot after looking at a Lightning. Even paid the $5K extra over the Lightning. But Ralph Gilles and Dodge don't care about used car sales.
