I just wonder sometimes are their any differences between the 03 and 04 Gt models mechanically? Are the 5-speed tranies the same and are the autos the same as well?

Yes they are identical... No difference at all as far as I know.

Only difference I can think of is the need for O2 extensions on aftermarket midpipes, only required on 04 GT's. But mechanically speaking, I don't think so.

Why is it that everybody recommends the 5-speed tranny? I know it's less drive train loss and a few tenths off the 1/4 mile, but it seems like I see way more threads with problems on the manual tranny. Is the auto more durable because I rarely run into threads with people reporting problems with the auto?

its harder to tell that an auto is Fed up

dont do neutral drops or manualy shift the auto and it will last forever + there is so much more potential, epsecially when running nitrous

Because you can power shift and beat the **** out of the tranny very easily. How many neutral drops will and auto hold up to?
