No, Mercedes doesn't have any manuals anymore, since the canned the hatchback C class.  But Dodge already has a 6 speed, Borg-Warner T-56 from the Viper.

Don, about your comment on new technologies in the GTO, specifically the IRS, from waht I've read and heard from my Fbody friend, the IRS on that car is primitive and dated.  The new Zeta platform (or whatever its called now) shoulld have a better design.

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?
