Used Vehicles with Manual Transmission for Sale in Indiana: Fast and Powerful
Today, the Indianapolis Indy Auto Man dealer’s team offers an overview of outstanding used sports cars with manual transmission that will please the connoisseurs of old-school driving.
If you consider yourself a fan of manual cars, then you probably have a limited choice right now. According to a CNBC study, manual transmissions are available in only 12 percent of new U.S. car models. And in the rest of the world, three-pedal cars are increasingly giving way to two-pedal ones. Fortunately, manual transmissions have not yet died out completely. And there are plenty of manual vehicles for sale in Indiana, not only in the budget segment.
Ford Mustang GT350R with manual transmission
After the appearance of the iconic version of the new generation GT500, the more track-oriented version of the Mustang GT350R has slightly faded into the shadows. But this does not prevent it from remaining the most driver-oriented Mustang of our time. In addition to sharp steering and suspension tailored for racetracks, the GT350R also offers a manual transmission, which is not available for the GT500.
The GT350R's 5.2-liter V8 produces 533 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Like the older version, the GT500, the engine uses a flat crankshaft. For complete satisfaction, the coupe has Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 and a limited-slip differential. The GT350R reaches its first 60 miles in four seconds. The maximum speed is about 174 miles per hour.
Dodge Challenger Hellcat manual sports car
Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang are united not only by their class but also by the unavailability of a manual transmission for the fastest and most powerful versions. But in the case of the Challenger, three pedals can be obtained with the 717-horsepower version of the Hellcat!
Yes, this is not the Hellcat Redeye, which has more than 800 horsepower and a maximum speed of 203 miles per hour. But how many will be able to cope with this monster when you also have to think about switching gears? So, the Challenger Hellcat is a very reasonable option if you are looking for a manual vehicle for sale. It is offered with both a six-speed Tremec manual and an eight-speed Torque Flite automatic.
Since 2017, the Hellcat can be purchased in an extended Widebody version. The word "extended" does not mean so much about the equipment as about the body. However, such a car will cost six thousand dollars more than the usual Challenger Hellcat.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 rare manual car
Here could have been the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, which is still produced and equipped with a six-speed manual. But there are enough muscle cars on this list. Instead, we'd better remind you of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 of the C7 generation.
This manual vehicle is no longer in production, but is still available for sale in the Indiana used car market. Moreover, there are still unsold copies of the ultimate coupe (and roadster) in dealerships all over America, which are destined to become the fastest and most powerful front-engine Corvette in history. 6.2-liter V8 LT5, 2.6-liter Eaton compressor - this pair under the hood produces 765 horsepower and 715 lb-ft of torque! And thanks to the refined aerodynamics, which the Pratt & Miller Engineering racing team refined, the ZR1 C7 turned out to be very fast: its maximum speed is 214 miles per hour! Surprisingly, such a brutal and fast car was offered with a manual transmission - a seven-speed Tremec TR-6070, to be precise. As an alternative, an eight-speed automatic was also available. If you can afford such a car - do not skimp. There is a high probability it will increase in price significantly over time.
BMW M4 convertible or coupe with manual transmission
The BMW M4 is available in convertible or coupe body styles and is equipped with a turbocharged inline-six engine with 431 horsepower under the hood. Depending on the version, gearbox, and body, the acceleration time of this manual car to 60 miles per hour varies from 3.8 to 4.3 seconds. The maximum speed is from 155 to 190 miles per hour, which is limited by electronics.
Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing
The CT4-V Blackwing is the main Cadillac competitor of the BMW M3 in Indiana. The older CT5-V Blackwing, which competes with the BMW M5, Audi RS6, and Mercedes-AMG E63, also has a manual transmission. The CT4-V Blackwing manual auto boasts a 3.6-liter supercharged V6, and the CT5-V - a 6.2-liter V8.
Porsche 911 Speedster- most dynamic manual car
A similar situation is with the Porsche 911 Speedster: although all 1948 units have already been produced, brand-new examples of the collectible roadster appear on sale in Indiana now and then. True, with a decent markup on the factory price. And even if the latest representative of the 991 generation is inferior to the new Turbo 992 in terms of dynamics.
In 2025, few cars can compare with the Speedster manual vehicle in terms of the purity of the driving experience. Here is a fabulous naturally aspirated engine that spins up to 9000 rpm, a chassis from the GT3, and a manual six-speed gearbox. 4 seconds to 60 miles per hour, 193 mph maximum speed, and a clear sky above your head - what could be better?
As our auto experts discovered, Europeans are abandoning manual cars, while Americans, on the contrary, are reviving them.
