I think this will be hellishly expensive. Even the original Challenger was 500$ to 1000$ (in 1970 dollars - 4200 to 5200$ in today's dollars) much more expensive than an equivalent Camaro or Mustang. I doubt that this Challenger will be any different.

Who the heck needs hill assist? If you can't get a manual car up a hill then you probably shouldn't be driving it! And as stated before, it's going to be really expensive and will likely be seen on the streets and rarely seen on the track.

T56 for the win Anyone who buys one of these with a slushbox is an idjit, I can't even believe how often we were pulling trannies out of Chargers right after they came out... Hell, I had one come right off the transport and into my bay because they missed a plug in the trans case at the factory and it was spewing ATF +4 all over the car underneath it... At least they made the trans removal a 45 minute job on thos things... Anyway, as for the Challenger, I love it, and I'd have one in a heartbeat if i could afford it, but i can't, so.... moot point...

Those where the first production run NAG1 transmissions and it only affected a small number of cars. My understanding was that the faoming caused by mosture rasing the ATF level and damaging the NAG1. The same type of issues that Diamler warns techs about. The DealerConnect TSB required you to replace the old leaking plug and flush the transmission twice. As for a missing plug, I do beleve that is why we have PDI's. You get paid an hour to fix all the crap the UAW get paid $45 an hour to screw up on the line.
