Don't get me wrong, my next car (at midlife crisis) will be a manual. Brand New. Buy now, keep forever. CA won't even be selling gas cars after 2035 anyway and manual trannies are fast disappearing. I'm 37 now, thinking of doing it at 40.

Short list (manuals ONLY), brand new, no particular order:

911
M3
Challenger Hellcat
Camaro ZL1
Mustang GT350


I think that's about it. Any other new (2021, 2022) powerful cars that have a manual transmission?

Ah yes, should be in the list.


Though if I’m reading correctly, this is a limited run (maybe 1-2 yrs only)?

Talking about a new gasser sport coupe is like telling kids what a pager was. And mentioning anything made by GM as good is equally as silly. Could be worse though, could be talking about a Chrysler product and then you may as well just give me your money so I can set it on fire for you.

The instatorque of an EV will always win stoplight to stoplight…they’re just quicker from a dig.

EVs run out of gas (heh) on top though, which can matter at a dragstrip or around a track.

Plus whirring doesn’t really stir the driving soul.
