RE: Why can't ford...
Stock gears, TCS off, stomp the pedal and I can light them up. I just wrote a post about my first burnout....awesome and I only have the Brenspeed 87 octane tune.

Do you have stock gears in yours bro? With your mods and with the traction control off, can you light em up without brakestanding it? The one I rented didn't have a chance...

RE: Why can't ford...
I have an 06 with an auto. It was a bit of a dog before installing my cia and tune. Now if i floor it from a dead stop it will get sideways, it will also bark second and third. All I have done to it are C&L intake, Brenspeed 93 tune and just installed Flowmaster axleback's.

To answer your question. The Automatics come with 3.31 and the Manual comes with 3.55. Though the others are correct about the throttle lag in part due to the drive-by-wire. Tune, Intake, and Gears should give you what you're looking for.

Exactly! And he probably rented a V-6 and doesn't know the diff! Not too many GT's for rent!
Can the moderators please delete the silly newby's comments? Whenever I see garbage like this it's almost always from someone with less than 30 posts.
MY auto GT will keep up with any manual in 0-60 or 1/4 mile times! In fact at Barett-Jackson they had 2 Shelby GTs on dynos that 2 people would try to race each other in a staged 1/4 mile race, with lights and timers. The automatic Shelby GT won almost always, including when there was some Nascar driver in the 5 speed! You can't shift faster than a computer. Ask Hogman! Sp?

I have an 06 gt automatic i can easily spin the tire from a stop,
without brake stand i can just stomp on the gas and the tires will spin.

I've taken out many manual trans S197's at the stop lights because most people cannot shift fastenough or consistantly enough to compete against acomputer.
I'm sure a CAI and a tune will only improve what is already very good.

RE: Why can't ford...
Like someone said before, Ford just doesn't have strong automatic transmissions compared to GM. I dunno why.
That's why the Shelby GT500 DOES NOT have an automatic tranny (I wouldn't buy an automatic GT500 even if they sold it though). Ford said it themselves, they don't have a strong enough automatic transmission that can handle the power.
