It seems the manuals are much harder on parts for that 4300 lb pig. Do they not have beefed up parts for the autos for power?
Unless you are just a die-hard Mopar guy, I would trade that Challenger in for a Mustang. I felt like I was driving a boat when I test drove the Challenger, whereas the Mustang, and even the Camaro, were just so much more fluid and responsive.

They do, but to build it up enough to handle the torque from a "normal" turbo build you're looking at spending a lot of money.

I have a 2009 Challenger that's got a built motor, blower, etc making 600RWHP. In THAT car I had to have the manual trans. The autos in the Challenger are no where near as good as these Z transmissions are. Having said that, my manual Challenger is almost exactly .5 slower in ET at the quarter mile than an identically built/weight/etc automatic car and I can shift.
Its no doubt quicker than manual in a drag (I maybe could present a weak argument with a **** hot rower but...), first hand experience on the track at Sebring the manual out performs the auto. Its not PDK quality, its good, but not really designed for that.

I traded the 7AT for a 6MT and am infinitely glad for it (and I live in the DC area).

I will say that the 7AT is the single best AT I have ever owned and seemed MUCH faster than the 6MT, especially at launch. That thing is no joke.

I've never checked but I don't think my transmission has a gender.

Are you sure it's not "trans-gender"?
Oh that is terrible, but I couldn't help myself.
