hey are they putting the 8spd auto in those in the US yet? I know the pick-ups got it, but the cars here don't yet... That new trans is awesome, gotta love German tech (ZF trans)Comment

Only the V6 gets the 8 speed auto, not the Hemi yet, maybe next fall in the 2014's.Originally posted by tooley View Post"Life is about how you

Ummm, I'm not sure. I think so (it doesn't have stripes all over it, lol)Originally posted by Crappler View Post
Yeah, if memory serves, the V6 is an SXT, the V8 is an RT, and the bigger V8 is a SRT8.
So it's an RTComment

5 Speed. Interesting how this is a poor man's Mercedes in a way. S Class front suspension, E class rear suspension, I think a Merc tranny, etc.Originally posted by tooley View Post
Of course it has Chrysler body...and yep, its a Chrysler alright comparing it to my Monte Carlo (good and bad) But time for a change, and I like that this thing is BIG.
Well, enough of a break from shoehorning the handcontrols into the car. Gotta get back to work. I don't think I'll be doing a build thread as it would be hard to make out what is what on the photos. I'll post a final result pic when I get it done (hopefully tonight)Comment

Well, got it driving. Interesting driving RWD after 10 years of FWD GM stuff. Real light steering. I kinda feel like an SUV of sorts, definitely higher than my Monte Carlo. Rides a lot nicer too. Did I mention it is big? Now to do some fine-tuning of the install and I'll get some pictures...
Anyone interested in a ready to go with hand controls '06 Monte Carlo SS with a 5.3L V-8? I might be selling one soon

Get some pix up of the Monte too. You got great taste Andy.I have had periodic paralysis all my life. I lost my ability to walk in 2011 beginning with a spinal block, which was used for a hip fracture caused by periodic paralysis.Comment

i like em but you said it best, they are big.
how's the traction control/rear end? does it hook up good or does it spin, bog or hesitate etc?Comment

I just looked it up, and it is an R/T. There should be a badge offset on the grill with the R/T logo.
It is a badass car, though quite the beast. I believe it's 4,000lbs.
I have a red Mustang GT that's a similar shade, just not quite as bright. I'll post of pic of mine later.
Congrats, man. Awesome car!Rollin' since '89. Complete C8Comment
