Re: Does DCX have a 6-speed manual for a 5.7L?
I was talking to my partner at work today about how the Charger would be sitting in my driveway if not for the auto-only issue. He then told me that he heard that DCX actually developed a 6-speed for what he thinks was the 5.7L, but the goverment didn't like a car that could go 65mph before shifting to 3rd gear  ! Does anybody know if this is true?
Why does DODGE keep insisting on killing the CHARGER?????? What did it ever do to them???? Besides sell!!!!!! They killed it back in the 70's, drove it right into the ground, meanwhile introducing the Challenger/Cuda as the performance cars to have!! Is history trying to repeat itself here???????????? If so they would give the right options, like a manual trans, or say I don't know a.... 2 DR....maybe? An AUTOstik does not substitute for those gears! I don't see why they wouldn't be able to mount a 6spd onto a smallblock! more performance maybe even save at the pump with higher gear ratio.
