My friend got a 2006 chrysler 300C HEMI AWD

[Vash00es]

its the system were u tap the shift lever and it changes the gears

That might be neat. I get annoyed with transmissions that aren't good at choosing gears, like the automatic WRX. The last "autostick" style car I drove was a 2003 Mitsubishi Endavour, which was a pile of garbage, though.

The autostick style is definitely better than a straight automatic, but I've found that it actually shifts faster and better on those if you just leave them on auto setting most of the time anyway. Plus I like the clutch.

Right, I'd like to be able to downshaft manually at any point. Driving my automatic Protege at Willow Springs Raceway really frustrated me.

turbo + auto = not so great

turbo + auto = not so great

If I were just acclerating, that would not be true. But I both speed up and slow down.

[Gro Harlem]

yep, those chrysler guys boasting "but i got a hemi bitch" are morons.

Wow it has a hemispherical head? who gives a ****! IT really isn't that great. Back when that **** first came out it might have been "technologically advanced" and "more efficient" but not anymore. Its just a stupid marketing term used to bull**** customerse into thinking its awesome.

Although they do have a great exhaust note (probably not due to the hemispheric head, but other things) but either way. ITs all bull**** and isn't better than a chevy V8 or a mustang V8 in terms of design.

eh, the manual would still upshift faster (well, should upshift faster) and you have lower drivetrain loss, which is important w/ AWD

[Vash00es]

You know for a huge barge of a car it really rips **** up

Look at these specs

Chrysler 300C 5.7 Hemi AWD

0 - 60 = 5.8 Seconds
Quarter Mile = 14.27 @ 98.56

Has all of its HP / TQ available at 4K RPM
And a almost near 50 / 50 weigh distribution

Its governed at 128 mph though

They are cool until they start falling apart in 3 years...

just imagine if it went on a diet.

[Vash00es]

That'd be somethin else... Hell the SRT-8 Models probobly gonna be a mid 13 second car and have a low 5 second 0 - 60, with that 425 hp / 420 tq stock

[D323]

what do they weigh stock? They look heavy.

[Vash00es]

about 4K even
