And for the record, I have had not one single issue with my MT-82.
Oh okay, I didn't know you had a '16. Wouldn't upgrade myself if had a '16. Would rather mod it.It is a great platform for that.

I think we all know the end is near for the large displacement V8, and honestly this seems to be a historic time we are living in with huge HP cars off the showroom floor. Not sure it will get much better than this again.

I would love to keep my DCT M3 as my daily, plan to buy an old manual Mopar or Fastback Mustang myself. It may be me, and the fact that all I really want is an awesome manual V8, but I just want a true to its roots muscle car and don't care how fast it is. I grew up with them, and get great joy from them.

Glad to hear you have a trouble free MT-82! The brief experience I had wasn't excellent, just didn't like the feel. I am sure the mods available, such as the clutch spring and MGW shifter would have knocked that out though. I just didn't want to risk it, as the manual was 50% of the reason to buy, with the 7500RPM Coyote being the other 50%.
