Has anyone drove a 09 R/T with a manual trans? Dog or not? I wanted to drive 1 to see if I wanted to get 1 but no one around my area has a 6 speed.

I test drove a '09 Challenger R/T that was a manual six-speed.
I think it was rated at 5 hp over the automatic if my memory is correct...(375) The thing I liked best was the feeling you get from a manual vs. an automatic - the response is quicker and the torque seems to be far more present. If you like peeling out and having fun with a car that is under warranty look no further. If you can't afford an SRT/8 I would have to say go with a manual R/T. Plus, the top end is amazing compared to other late model cars like the Camero and Firebird.
