heh
if you're using it as a DD and aren't going to abuse it, get an auto, because chances are it hasn't been abused (as bad as a manual)
but if you plan on having any kind of fun then get a standard
the 4r70w is a pretty strong trans where as the 3650 is a pile of ****

01ish to 04. I beleive the 99-00 were t45's, and they are not THAT bad, with your plans, itll last you forever as long as you maintain it

Don't bash on the Auto's! It may not be as fun but throw a shift kit (and/or stall converter etc!) on and get it tuned and you'll have an extremely solid transmission that can rival standards. Think about it, a built auto tranny vs the 3650 for example; computer vs you, who do you think is gonna shift faster? But all in all, go with what you want both are great choices. Really comes down to your prefered driving style, I hate driving stick in bumper to bumper traffic so I got an Auto. And I'm lazy haha

.This is so true I have beat many manual mustangs and other cars just because of it being a auto. They miss a gear, rev to high of the start and spin. All while they are doing that all I have to do is get the stall going let go of the break and mash it. I actually have beat mustangs that should be beating me just because of them being a manual. I also have flushed the tranny every 30k. And I know if you take car of a manual it will be good but still see alot of syncro threads on here.

I dunno, I kinda wish I had gone with a auto car now (after 4+ years of modding). if you think an auto isn't any fun, you should ride in a stalled/geared/shift kit (with cooler of course) auto car.
