the only thing is I think I may regret a 6 speed manual after the new car honeymoon phase wears off since I kind of would want to drag race it and the 8 speed autos are much faster down the drag strip (about 1.0 seconds controlling for the average joe)

then the other part of me says...707 horsepower and slamming some gears seems something my life has been missing..I had a 6speed trans am for 8 years and about 90% of the time I`m driving my car I miss having a manual

I detailed a 6speed hellcat last summer and the clutch was quite heavy and of course dodge has the hand brake on the floor, not the center console...so that would definitely take some getting used to

can you tell I`m trying to talk myself out of this already

the price is right
it has 3k miles and the fancy leather that they stopped putting in the cars

I bet she kicks like a mule into 2nd and 3rd
 
I think that much power and a manual is a recipie for expensive maintenance. I think they learned that and that`s why you don`t see many manual hell cats or turbo porsches. The human error, need to go a little further into the red to get that nose out in front and the. There`s miss judgment that gets us every time.

Buy a used 944 manual and have some fun and keep the autos in high HP track monsters.
 
All depends on the clutch/trans combo. If the clutch is a little stiff it won`t be fun to drive in traffic, as you already know. Too light and you feel disconnected. There is a fun factor though.


Right now I have a hate/hate relationship with my GTI`s 6 speed manual combo. Clutch is too light and too weak for the power. Was hard to get a decent pass down the track. I love rowing gears, but I`m getting to the point I`m fixing to drop 2K in a new clutch combo...
 
Get it and donate you current one to me. Lol but seriously I miss my manual, main reason I got rid of it was cause wife couldn`t drive it.

512detail- If you REALLY want it, and the price is *really* right (FOR YOU, here and now IRL), then IMO you oughta buy it while the stars are aligning that way. Thirty years from now I bet you`ll either a) regret passing on it or B) fondly recall the purchase, so go for the latter. This could be one of those Wayback Machine Moments that you don`t want to [screw] up.

(Deliberately leaving every single personal opinion I have of that car off the table as it`s not *me* considering it ;) )
 
I`ll see him in a few minutes and see if I can give him the last little "push" he might need. It might force him to start detailing other makes of vehicles other than Mopar`s to pay for the "CAT".

And this is antithesis of the adage that "detailers NEVER own black vehicles". While color may be a consideration in some cars, the car itself and the sum of its parts appeal more to true car-people.

While I never like yellow as car color that I would personally buy, if it came on a Porsche 911 GT at a steal-of-a-deal, or if I won one in a raffle or someone gave it to me, I`d drive it! Vehicle color is one of those subjective things: sometimes it`s important, or sometimes its secondary to the deal and car.
 
Nice car for sure, don`t want to have buyer remorse on 6spd vs 8spd. Always fun grabbing gears the car is a beast with 6spd, I drove 6spd and 8spd at SRT track experience couple years ago. Myself because I know I would race it would want 8spd, the cars goes threw gears so quick, and much more friendly in traffic. But it`s hard to beat the fun of 6spd on the street but major respect for the power. Tough choice for sure.
