It is called the Rallye package, has the same wheels, body matched panels, black headlights, dual exhaust. Looks just like the R/T, but you lose a lot of options (interior and exterior) that you would get with the R/T. I am actually getting a Granite Rallye package this week (like how the wheels match the paint and everything flows real nice), then I am getting a Katzkin leather package that is black with silver stitches and I will get Rallye embroidered into the front headrests too.
And then throwing in everything on top of that would be the power liftgate, leather seats, remote start, etc.

Yes, you lose a lot of options for 10K less in price.

At 24.6 gallons and the typical $0.15 difference between regular and midgrade, that's a $3.69 difference per fill up.
Your hemi may run fine forever on 87 or it may not. Are you willing to take that chance to save $4?
Even without knocking, you will likely see a decrease in performance and efficiency with regular gas and may cancel out the savings due to the poor fuel efficiency/mileage.

Very true, but the manufacturer recommends 89 in this engine. While it's not required and that means you can put 87 in it, some have claimed knocking issues with the 87. At the end of the day, you've spent north of $40k on a vehicle. It doesn't make much sense to skimp out and save a few bucks by going against the recommendations.

So getting this thread back to it's title, can someone point me to the issues with the V6 tranny? thanks.

Issues like what? I haven't experienced any except the eco mode mapping for the tranny sucks. Turn it off and it's a completely different driving experience.
