    If your Challenger has paddle shifters, do you like them and do you frequently use them?

    I heard that some owners are installing paddle shifter extensions, like the ones common on tuners (see below). What do you think of them?

    I use the paddle shifters quite a bit and like them overall. When I know I will be turning frequently I use the shifter itself. It's wonderful to have so many shifting options. I would not use or like the extensions.

    I am "old school" and like the Mopar shifter that is on my 2009 SRT. It reminds me of the Slap-Stick on my 1971 'Cuda.

    I've used the paddle shifters occasionally but can't get use to them. I prefer the console shifter.

    I have them, do NOT use them, and have even turned them off.

    Have considered removing them, as they are in my way.

    Now that I drive only in sport mode I use them quite a bit except while turning where the floor shifter works best. Wouldn't bother with paddle shifter extensions.
