I want a GT with automatic and the Brembo pkg. Why can't this be done?

I thought you were crazy at first but I went to Ford website and you're right, when you select automatic you can change gear ratio or select Brembo package.

WoW, that's odd. Go for the 6spd manual though man, much better fun factor!

I hear what you're say'n, but you gotta understand, at 66 I'm tired of shifting. I will buy a manual because I "LOVE" the wheel pkg.

Manuals are performance oriented, like brembo brakes and short ratios, autos are for everyone else...

+1000

I used to road race and I still love it but I am getting too old to drive a stick in rush hour traffic !

I also want an automatic with the brembo brake , tire, AND suspension tweaks !

Do what he says. I guess I am missing what the whole deal with the brakes is. My car seems to stop fine. Hahaha! J/K Look at it this way.....if you do it afterwards you can select every single thing you want rather than just getting what they put on.
