Dodge Challenger to have Hill Start Assist, Trak Pak
Allpar's normally reliable sources have posted a full list of the upcoming Dodge Challenger's powertrains, including two new features not known before. Hill Start Assist will help R/T and SRT-8 manual-transmission drivers by keeping the brake applied for a few moments while on hills, until the car senses the throttle reaching a certain point. Trak Pak is a new marketing name for the combination of the manual transmission, gearing, and limited-slip differential. This news reinforces the idea that Dodge is planning to make the Challenger a real driver's car and performer from the starting line. Read Article

hill assist is a great feature... my 335 coupe has it, its really helpful to have that 3 second delay on hills, especially when i was learning stick in the beginning

i think pretty soon all manual cars should have this feature

If they're chopping the Aspen, Magnum and PT Cruiers because of slow sales/gas mileage, what is the point of the Challenger?

Shouldn't Chrysler be focusing on higher volume, profitable cars rather than one-offs that are vulnerable if/when oil goes even higher?

"hmm nice to see them copying all the german luxury automakers (at least bmw)"

Uh-huh. I guess anyone using a high compression engine, onboard computer, bonded brake linings, electric wipers, digital fuel injection (1957), replaceable cartridge oil filters, ignition-key starting, safety rim wheels, rubber engine mounts, standard air filters, windshield cleaners, and computer stress-testing of auto suspensions is copying Chrysler, then? And of course the German luxury automakers (at least bmw) [sic] would be copying Studebaker, which had Hill Hold back in 1939.
