Well.... Come on Gary, the suspense is killing me!!! LOL
I have the redrock paint too, it looks good.
And yes, I would NOT purchase a 3.8 JK with a manual tranny.
It doesn't drive like a Jeep... Even in low range, you've got to rev it in first gear to get moving on level ground...
Absolutely anemic in the lower RPMs.
I guess you could get used to it, but it would be embarrassing getting there...
The auto is very well matched to the engine output, great combo.
Now, if Big daddy pulls their head out & puts the 4.7 or 5.7 V8 in the 4 door, THAT would be THE machine!!!! AEV already does it...
Ok, enough ranting.... What's the verdict??????? :eek:
