Question (last one I promise for awhile)

The 2009 model challenger -Is the Pistol grip shifter exclusive to the manual transmission or does it come with the automatic transmission?

I believe it's exclusive to the manual. There's a T slap stick available through Mopar for the autos. Also there's an aftermarket vendor on this form, Butch ( I can't remember company name "Wings" I think), who sells pistol grips for autos.

Yes, it is for the manual trans. the guy above has a pistol grip type handle avail for the autos and I know Hurst is working on a shifter for the manual which I'm sure will be a pistol grip type

The chromed slapstick from Mopar looks pretty cool... I've been trying to find where on their site to buy one but maybe its not available yet.

Yeah that T shift looks like very qaulity stuff as well glad to see it that the addons represent the qaulity put into this car..Nothing worse than to see a nice ride with cheap after market stuff slapped on it.

I actually have a number of them (the factory style) that are laying around here. We have been installing my Carbon Fiber almost exclusively on the Challengers. The only wood one for a Challenger so far went to Hennessey Performance. They are very happy with the product. Sales for the LX platforms are steady, but most are choosing Carbon Fiber. A few of 300 C models are doing the light wood.

Rider Graphics ( an excellent sponsor here) posted their photos of a 1970 NOS MOPAR Grip we custom made for their car and it looks good.

We are currently working on the Pistol Grip with the 6 speed pattern and some will be in Vipers very soon courtesy of Hennessey.

Call me and let me know what you want.

Thanks for the plug Butch! We have the CF Challenger Shifters on the shelf and are installed in our Package Cars... Great addition!
