Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Drops Manual Transmission, Unclear Of Return

Dodge Challenger Hellcat manual transmission is temporarily unavailable while Dodge makes some revisions to it

www.musclecarsandtrucks.com

"..spoke with a Dodge spokesperson on the subject and discovered that a “revised calibration” for the manual powertrain was on the way. "

"...Dodge’s representative indicated that the situation is temporary. It’s undoubtedly a frustrating situation for buyers that are eager to get a Dodge Challenger Hellcat before they are said to be gone for good by 2024. "

I call hogwash, and they are definitely softening the blow, but regardless, it is in the article.

I don’t know man. I’m convinced they are done after the build and price was updated to remove them completely. I wish they would make it black and white and just admit they are still selling well enough that there’s no need to offer it anymore and pull the band aid off. I don’t understand the constant wishy washy responses.

Well, I’ll hold out for a potential re-release for the M6. Even if it was only available for the Hellcat and not the Redeye that would be great news.

 

[HellcatHellYeah]

I think they will still produce these engines for retrofit jobs until at least 2030, hopefully they will bring back an M6 for the 23' line for those that want one.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, yeah man.

I’ve been saying for the last 6mo that as long as they have no problem selling every A8HC, there is no reason from them to make a M6, doubly so it if requires them to spend $ to “recalibrate” to meet EPA. Dodge, like any responsible company, has only one mission: Profit.

Unless there is some way that offering a M6 will give them excessive profits, rest assured it is gone.

Interesting, can buy a blown 668 HP Cadillac with a 6 speed, but not a Hellcat

Easy more fuel efficient engine. Smaller blower and direct injection. Lighter and more aerodynamic car.
Are we done with the High School science yet?

Who wants a Caddy anyway? Just another over complicated GM that will blow up at 100k. Electrical nightmare once the miles aren't low.

Blown 668hp with a 6sp! People would buy it even it it was a Yugo!

BTW: I took delivery of my 22RE. It is fast! But don't ask me if it's more fun to drive than the M6, I don't want to get into another debate on that again.....

But I called Dodge and they said they’re working hard on it.
