Want all that power with a stick shift, do you? Clearly you have a larger budget for fresh rear tires than we do, and thankfully you’re in luck. For 2023, Dodge has reintroduced a six-speed manual transmission option for the Challenger Hellcat.
The option disappeared in late-2022, with Dodge blaming powertrain calibration issues, as reported by Car and Driver at the time. This was described as a temporary issue and, sure enough, about a year later in late-2022, the manual transmission option returned.
At a time when car manufacturers are increasingly reluctant to offer manual options, especially with high-performance vehicles, stick-shift Hellcats are surprisingly popular. In 2018, Dodge had stated that 35% of Hellcat buyers tick the manual box when configuring their new ride.
We all know shifting gears manually isn’t as fast as an auto, and in heavy traffic you can be sure those Hellcat buyers would long for the extra comfort of the optional eight-speed automatic. However, when you’re buying a muscle car with over 700 horsepower, you surely want to feel as connected as possible to that massive V8 engine.
