I wish, thatā€™s the only reason I didnā€™t get a 392, I have to have a manual, not other option to me

Not from the factory-never offered. Probably ā€˜cause folks would fry the clutch.

Hi,

Believe more of a emissions deal that wouldn't allow a manual transmission, they are killing them in the Challenger Hellcats, think the 5.7 and 392's you can still order one, but guessing we won't see many in the future.

If they did offer one the older G56 that was offered in the Hemi Ram pickups 2005?/2006 thru 2008 would be fun, creeper gear od 5 speed.

Regards,
Jim

Plus the first standing start dumped clutch would likely grenade the already marginal D-44 and/or other driveline components.

I agree......would be for D60 or better axles.

The rear end is only receiving 50% of the power during a launch

Heckā€” my 69 GTX had a D60, 95 Ram V10 has a rear D80, front D60 . 470 HP Wrangler gets 44ā€™s, pathetic, not even a D50 upgrade!

Not for this build.
Why not? Just keep the awd for the road and use 2wd in the sand/dirtā€¦..Unless there is no way to use the transfer case with the manual trans.

Stellantis will have to come out with a better axle to add 37" tires as an option.........to match the Bronco

When the computer senses rear wheel traction loss and engages the front axle. On a standing start dumped clutch the rear end could likely be toast before the front is engaged .

Perhaps on a grand finale, swan song, end of an era special edition like all the Challenger/Charger last year ones.šŸ™ Donā€™t hold your breath , Sadly!
