Now from what I understand the Challenger is suppposed to have a manual. The Charger doesn't because, well its a luxurious sports sedan. I agree they should have a manual but I don't think they ever had one in the concept for the Charger. The 5-speed the HEMI Ram has in the 1500 model is the 545RFE auto, there isn't a manual application for the HEMI in the 1500 model but they do have manuals for the 4.7L and 3.7L. They do have a manual for the HEMI powered 2500/3500 models. Don't ask me why they don't on the 1500 HEMI, I'm still trying to figure that out.
