I drove a R/T with a stick several months ago. I liked the way it shifted better than my S-197, and I also liked the way the traction control DIDN'T jerk the throttle the way the S-197 does. Smooth, and lots of power.
A buddy of mine just did a new exhaust system for the car I drove... Made a huge difference in sound. Every time I see one of these things go by I expect to to rumble... but it just kind of whooshes. This sounds much better.
