How terrible of a thing is it if someone like me didn't get a new 2013 with the track pack option? Does my car having an automatic transmission lesson the effect of not getting a new 5.0 without the Track Pak any? Other than that one little detail my GT Premium is lacking NOTHING else (cept maybe them pesky Boss 302 Laguna Seca wheels I'm gonna order through Ford Racing!!) and I gotta say, even the factory brakes are fantastic on this bad boy!

 

I am not 100% on this but I think track Packs are only for Manual trannies

 

Unless you are actually putting the car on the track, the Track Pack is not really necessary. In fact, it might lessen the experience of the car on the street. However, if you autocross or do HPDE's, the Track Pack would be a good option to have.

Also, AFAIK, the Track Pack is only available on manual trans cars.
