[Shotimes] Re: OT New Camaro just slightly retro

[Donald Mallinson]

The challenger is proposed to have a 6-speed manual, but the show car 
has an automatic.  The manual would be iffy at best I guess, but if 
there is enough interest, it could happen.  Does Mercedes have a 6-speed 
manual in the inventory?
