Default RE: Automatic Stang Owners

I suggest to drive both if possible (Just stating the obvious I know) If your thinking a V6 there are enough of them out there to try both. I was about to order the automatic until I drove one. It didn't FEEL as fun or peppy as the manual it felt like more of a commuter car. I use FEEL because I'm sure the auto is just as fast. But the manual seemed sportier. The shifter felt better than the Hurst in my SS Camaro Conv.

Unless you stuck your foot all the way to the floor and let the auto shift through the grears at 6000 RPM's then you would think the Auto felt comuter. You have to put your foot into it to see why this 05 5 speed auto is so much better than the 04 or earlier auto's. I like to compare it to a pro-stock car shifting. It only shines when you put your foot into it. Thats what makes it great. It's tuff as sh*t when you need it to be and unnoticeable when you don't.

I have a stick and love it.
My husband says a GT is not a GT without a stick.
I thought I would hate it, but I really love it.
I say STICK!!!!
But you have to go with what ever makes you happy.
It is To Each Their Own.
