Default atx vs mtx

How is the transmission on these mustangs? Im considering either a Mustang or GTO and i am looking into things before i buy the car. The GTO has a crappy gearbox and the ATX is a a tenth of a second faster in 0-60 and in the 1/4 mile. How close is it with the mustangs? would it be a noticible difference? the car will be a daily driver for the next 4-6 years so i need to make the right choice.

Thanks

I suggest going to the dealer and driving both to see which one you like better.

I have my preference - [sm=gears.gif]

Either one is going to be reliable, unless you mod the hell out of it. Question probably ought to be "Do I want to shift it myself all the time?" The auto is very fast at shifting. Takes a bit to get used to how quick it is. Only reason I have an auto is so wifey can drive it too. So drive them and find out.

Faster will depend on the DRIVER
