Default 6 Speeds

I was wondering if anyone knows what's holding up six speed cars from showing up on dealers lots. I haven't seen one even advertised on Autotrader or any place else.

I've seen them on e-bay but at no local dealer. I guess nobody wants a manual anymore. Kills me how they charge you for a manual over the auto trans. Use to be the other way around.

(I will be getting a manual)

Doesn't surprise me that you will have to pay more for the manual since a lot of people want the manual. Just as they charged more for the 08 SRT8...they seem to view the new Challenger as a cash cow (and no I don't mean it's 4100 pound weight).
I would like to see the first head to head matchup between an auto and a manual SRT8, should be interesting.

The ones I've seen on eBay are not in stock - just a chance to buy one to be delivered at some point in the future. My guess is they are stalling until all the 08's are sold.

My 6 speed went from status C to D on Monday, but I can't get too excited until it gets to D1.

Doesnt say. All it says is for location is on the truck and for current status its truck dispatch. I would imagine its gong to the distribution center. I would certainly wish it was to the dealer but I know better! Its still a race between fatcat, mss3dodge, skids and myself who will see thier car first!
