Re: here we go again

I don't know what DCX pays for t56s but I just bought one for my 69 Charger for $1500. I imagine DCX can get them for cheaper since they will be buying 60-70 thousand per year. I'm thinking Tremec will give them a discount. I just hope they stay with the Viper trim t56 with the straight cut gears to handle more power so moding will be less likely to hurt the trans.

Re: here we go again

IT shouldn't be that way, manuals are cheaper to manufacture, but in todays age most cars come with automatics so there are more of them produced so they are more readily available. I wan't a manual and would probably still pay a little extra for it.

Re: here we go again

Just as with the engine option argument, I feel the answer here is to make a variety available, and let the customer decide. Raffi's point, and I feel it, is why bother asking if you're gonna do what you want and shove an automatic down my throat anyway? More than likely it will cost them a good amount of change to configure their facilities to manufacture a 6sp/M Challenger but in the long run, the consumer will be paying for it anyway, it should not be an option killer.
