I know my 2006 GT was woken up with that SCT flash, i had Evolution Performance do the tune- but man! Shift points are great, shifts nice and firm(when it was stock at WOT you couldnt tell it was changing gears it was soo smooth).. my car can chirp from 1-2 and 2-3.. in an auto.. and form a dig, light um up till redline in 2nd.. pretty impressive for a stock gt with intake/ axelbacks and tune..

Just bought a gt and learned how to drive a manual the same day. Any beginner tricks I can do to get more comfortable with the car. Did a burn out once when I got stuck on a hill (it at least looked kick az)but nothin beyond that.
always try to match RPM when you shift.... let the motor slow down before letting out the clutch on the upshift and popping the throotle on the downshift. also dont try to powershift this trans... you'll blow it up in no time

Looking for some help on my 2007 GT 5-speed with 3.13 stock gears. When shifting, the RPMs race up a bit in between gears when the clutch pedal is pressed and foot off the gas. Themore I accelerate, the more the RPMs float up in between gears. Is this common? The car only has 4800 miles on it and the dealer doesn't know how to address it since they said the computer is controlling this.Everything checks out on their analyzer. This doesn't seem to occur when downshifting.
Another thing I noticed is when in 5th gear at approximayely 70 mph and 1800-1900 RPM, there's a slight droning sound. The sound quickly goes away when I hit 2000 RPM and doesn't occur in 5th gear prior to 1800 RPM. Are these common characteristics of the car?
Need help from someone with experience on this issue or if this is normal. Any comments are appreciated.
My 08 does the very same thing between shifts. Don't know if that's normal or not.

there is drone in the motor that is excentuated by most aftermarket exhausts. at 1800-2k is where it is most prelevent. If you hate drone get a mid muff system and it will (almost) disapear.

ok, i have an 08 gt 3v-auto. some of the guys at work are busting my b%lls for having an automatic, but i love it, i drove a 4cyl stick- toyota p/u for 20yrs,i'm sick of shifting, i call it "clutch foot" it felt so good to have an auto, no shifting AWWWW feels so nice. And my stang " I feel, runs great" i have Vortech v3 s-trim, dyno sheet reads, 439hp -stock h-pipe. Is my tranny weak or something, should i have a different stahl conv installed, or what. can someone tell me that my auto trans is a good strong one for an 08, please tell me something good about my tranny, so i can print it out and show the guys @ work that my 08 automatic trans is not a weakling.
( Or,,,are they right ) ?
Any feed back will be greatly appreciated.
If it helps you feel better the automatic is more consistent and much easier to use at a drag strip than the manual. Most people will tell you that the auto is going to win you more races, even on the street.
