What grabber blue is saying is true... But maybe applies to 1/30 manual mustang owners. It happens but then again, anything can happen with ANY new car. So just take that what it's worth.


Im a manual guy who got the automatic. I LOVE the way the mt-82 shifts. It's like butter, really. Makes any pre 2011 mustang feel notchy when it comes to shifting. So if you're a manual guy, get it. I chose the automatic and have zero regrets. I live in traffic (nova) and I must admit, I get lazy sometimes haha. But a manual with the new 5.0 is hella fun!

you're in northern virginia and just used the term "hella"?

Go back to california

I understand the traffic, though. My left leg got a serious workout some days with the uber heavy clutch in the bimmer.

It's a shame that someone who prefers the manual got an auto just because of Northern VA traffic. Also, as mentioned, please don't use the term "hella".

I got talked into going through a christmas light setup in a city park.
******** infront of me doing 2mph MAX and stopping every 15 feet.
I could have pushed the car faster and wouldnt have worn out my clutch...
