Eh,...it's all in matter of preference really. Personally i would drive an auto mustang if you gave it to me, really I wouldn't, I hate them with a passion. But thats just me and my bad experiences with autos. You may have better experiences with them, and yes, autos can be made to be more consistent at the track, if you put some money in them. But don't let anyone tell you its not a "real" mustang, it is.

I would never drive an auto Mustang. Stick = more fun. 3 things that make a Mustang a chicks car: An auto, convertible and a V6 lol

Auto here, love it, love my car to the fullest. Might not be as fun, but a lot easier and error proof. Just get gears and a tune, maybe even a stall if you want. Get a tranny cooler too. They are a lot easier for driving around town. I would much rather have a manual, but a deal was calling when i boought it. I beat sticks on a regular and love my car. The biggest factor is the fun factor, but believe me, you will enjoy your auto.
