From the Corvette link





and the Hellcat gets this transmission

ZF 8HP transmission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




They are all automatic transmissions as they shift the gears for you. Porsche, Ferrari, Stingray, Hellcat, BMW, Lambo, Nissan GTR all of them are automatics using a clutch system.
Sorry, but perhaps you need to re read them, from the Corvette article:

"Unique clutch and torque converter specifications matched to the torque capacity of the Stingray’s LT1 6.2L naturally aspirated engine and the Z06’s LT4 supercharged engine distinguish the applications for the different Corvette models."

And in the Doge article the transmission, with a torque converter clearly visible, as it is in the photo above.

They are both conventional automatic transmissions, not an SMG like the PDK.
