Default I would like to get the thoughts of forum members.

I'd like to get the thoughts of the forum members here.

I had an order in for a GT with auto trans in Red Fire. But it appears that Ford is not going to be building any more auto GT's unless dealers have them on allocation orders.

A local dealer has a GT in Red Fire, 5 speed manual and it also has the red leather interior.
I thought the car looked good with the red interior but I wonder if one might tire of it?
The supply of GT's is going quickly and if I don't decide shortly I'll probably have to wait until the 06's.

I know in the end the choice is mine but I just wanted to hear members thoughts on 5 speed manual tranny and on the red leather interior.

Thanks in advance.

Buy the car! When you get tired of the interior, have a new one put in! Someone has posted of a supplier that makes a "real" leather interior, better than stock, not that expensive, and some have had the Ford Dealer install from the "get-go"

agree with algregory. I have the redfire red with red leather interior. I too thought it may be too much. NO WAY! It is awesome and everyone who looks at it or rides in it loves the red leather interior. You will not tire of it so do not delay, get the car today.

Go for what you like don't settle.Like the other day I went to a dealer to buy a 05 Saleen S281 sc and he keep trying to sell me the S281na.It was the color I wanted but not the sc, so I have to wait but at least I'm getting what I want.Good luck on your choice.

Buying a automatic in my opinion would be a mistake so buy it.

Get the stick, it's a blast to drive. As far as the red interior, talk on the forum is Ford may not be doing it in 06, so this may make the car more rare.

Good luck and enjoy the car!!!

It's more fun to drive the stick but I'm not impressed by the trans in my stang. I'd rather have the trasmission in my 86 BMW. That thing rocks.
