I'm saving up to buy 2013 GT, and trading my sixxer too to help out with the cost. I want to get a manual since there cheaper and seem more fun and have more power, but haven't driven one or learned. Since I don't know how to drive one thats gonna be a problem. I'm wondering if its a good idea to learn on such a new car? Buying a really old car with stick is not really an option, because of money situation. If you guys could give me some suggestions that would be great! Thanks!

I learned on my first mustang. You pick it up really quick.

Doesn't take long. One afternoon and you're good to go.

Just go to a boat ramp, that should give you the proper incentive to pick it up fast!

But seriously go find a steep parking lot entrance (Bellacinos in Lexington is good) or driveway and practice inching up it.

with the new hill assist on the stangs, a big hill isn't any different than flat now.

I forgot about that, drove my friends car with it and my reaction was wtf? Get rid of that crap!

You can also go to car max and "test drive" a lot.

Just save up an extra $2000 for a new clutch and then have at it.

I'm not old enough to test drive I'm only 16, and plus I don't think they will let someone drive a stick car if they don't know how to drive it lol

Insurance is going to be quite expensive for you

Who said anything about telling them you know how to drive a stick? My friend told the ford crew at an ecoboost challenge that he "knew" how to drive a stick, and then proceeded to stall out 5 times and ended up being pushed to get started lol. Stopped giving my wife lip about driving a stick after that too (she now drives one daily and he doesn't lol).
