LX bodies at Autoxs (300, Charger, Magnum)

[HAULN-SS]

Yeah, that's the only thing that has kept me from really liking that whole 'genre' of cars chrysler has...put a fucking manual in it..or make it an option, or something at least.

Is how they do at autocrosses a serious concern when looking at these things?

I can't imagine you expect them to be competitive.

I can't imagine you expect them to be competitive.

Certainly not. They are big, yes, but they have a fair amount of power to them. Which I suppose doesn't really pay dividends at an autocross. But I was just interested if anyone had seen one out. There were 2 SRT8 chargers at VIR last time I went out.

As far as a manual that would be nice, but BMW does not put a handshaker in the 7 series in the USA...I suppose a 5-speed is not a big luxury car thing. Soft and comfy does not usually include having to shift your own gears.

I see five LXs in the mix at this auto X <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO4O5MgzHQ0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO4O5MgzHQ0</a><!-- m -->
