I ordered a 6 speed R/T; I'm not certain that there is a limiter on the manual...but......With the sophisticated Engine Management Systems in these high performance cars now, I believe that there is a fuel shut-off rev limit so you don't blow the engine or trans by accident.

From personal experience with my '06 300 C, the AutoStick shifts for you (even in manual mode) from first to second if you over-rev. I never exceeded revs in 2nd or higher because the power curve with the 2nd gen 5.7 was weak at high rpms....better to shift 300-400 rpm below redline in the stock 300 C.

When I ordered the R/T w/ 6 speed, my wife commented that she doesn't know how to drive manual; my comment was "I know; that's an added bonus to the 6 speed"!!!! My 17 year old step-son (who shouldn't be driving anything anyway...horrible driver) wants to drive my R/T when it comes in...told him "NO WAY EVER". My 20 year old son drives a Ford F-150 w/ 5 speed manual; that boy can shift a manual better than anyone else that I know; I will let him drive it...with me riding shotgun...

Any idea when your 6 speed is coming in? I ordered mine on 06/17 and am still in C status..... They're supposed to be building 6 speed R/Ts already, so I don't understand why mine hasn't hit the assembly line yet....Anyone else have a firm build status or already in production? If so, please let me know: your current status, when you ordered and what area you're in; I'm in NW Indiana. Can't wait to drive that bad boy !!
