RE: WTF IS MY CAR DOING??? AHHHHH!!!!!!!
I beleive someone has lost sight in what they bought their car for. This is my 4th Mustang, previous Stangs were 71 Mach1Auto. 351 Cleveland 4v, 88Gt5spa little built, 92Gt 5sp, and now this Jewel. I bought all of these cars for the pure power and all out fun to drive factor. I bought my recent Stang on the intent of reliving the days of old, hence installing the Hurst shifter which now the Stang reminds me of a early stang with a top loader..it's frigging great. And yes..if you get on these cars hard, you are going to get some kind of vibration..think about it. EvenFerraris, Porsches, Vibers, and Corvettes Vibrate when you pound them. It'sthe nature of the beast. If you dont want vibrations bysomething with less beastyality to it..Not being rude just voicing my opinion on the matter.

My 07 has absolutely zero wheel hop. I wonder if they did some changes on the 07 suspension to stop the problem. Or maybe I just got lucky.................

My 2005 had wheel hop really bad from day one. Could not launch the car hard or intentionally try to spin the tires or right into hop. Hopped so bad the radar detector would fly off at me. Installed Steeda Lower Control Arms and not even a hint of wheel hop. The whole car feels more solid.

To answer this question.....
In my opinion I would generally say that that someone who trades an automatic for a manual would be generally doing it for the fun factor... Am I right or wrong guys???
Please dont take offense to this if yours is an auto, because I originally bought one so theirs no reason I should shoot them down. And with all do respect manual cars Generally are quicker than sticks, for the "OBVIOUS" reasons such as not having the torque converters, not having ability to launch the car at higher RPM, etc. etc. So if you think that the fast cars at the drag strip are automatic then I guess we have a difference in opinion. Maybe your right, and if you are I think you should go over to the NHRA and tell the pro's they should be dropping auto's in their drag cars LOL. Anyhow like I previously mentioned, obvious reasons for trading an auto to a stick to a mustang enthusiast would more than likely be something to do with fun factor not something stupid like gaining ONE MPG, (according to the sticker) LOL!!!!

Now, I have a question. You traded in your auto for a stick for "obvious reasons"? What are the obvious reasons to trade an auto for a stick? Keep in mind any pretty much any "fast" car on a drag strip is going to be an auto before you answer.
