I'm 43 years old with wife and two kids. I want today's equivalent of the 68 Barracuda 340 Formula S 4 speed that I learned to drive a MANUAL TRANNY in when I was 16. I grew up climbing into the back of a 66 Charger and then a 70 Challenger. I was like my 68 year old father who was excited as a twelve year old expecting a BB gun for Christmas waiting for the Charger to come out only to open the gift and it was a sweater. Needless to say neither one of us bought a Charger. I want a manual transmission with a clutch pedal that makes my leg twitch at the stop light, I want two doors and two doors only. It didn't hurt me to climb into the back seat of a two door car, so I think my children will survive. My wife knows how to drive a stick shift and when the time comes, my daughters will have to learn if they want to drive one of Daddy's cars. My dad taught me to be a Mopar enthusiast and I have never owned anything produced by GM or Ford. Bean counters be damned, build the manual tranny or I will have to start looking at the competition.
