RE: auto vs stick
When I got ours, my wife preferd a automatic as she is not to good with the stick. I would rather have a stick, but since she will be driving the car also, I won't have to worry about the clutch getting ripped out. LOL
From what little bit I've driven the car I do like the auto though.

Im assuming that was a joke..... Just as many people dislike standards as they do autos.

Dude, just get the stick and never look back. Not one single Mustang owner around here has regretted getting a stick. Many wish they had one and not an auto, but none wish they had an auto. Doooo it doooo it doooo it

No, that wasn't a joke. I have yet to see anyone say "man, I should have gotten an auto" in reference to a Mustang.

I said this in another thread too. If its going to be a daily driver your not going to want a 3400 stall thats a big stall for stop and go traffic. I think the most for a DD is a 2500 if one at all. A stall is really ment for a weekend car or a trailer queen. Just crank up the shift pressure and get a tranny cooler then from there get gears but the last thing to do is a stall you might not like it.

+1, sticks are more fun to drive is the bottom line. Most people won't notice the very very small performance difference between the two. Mustang GT is a sports car and with manual you have more control and it's just way more fun. You can't deny the fun factor! Automatics are ok too though, and good for the lazy person., but I'd rather have a manual.

or for the person building a serious drag car, or for the person who is tired of being in rush hour traffic with a clutch and their leg gets tired, or for the person who considers the extra 1,000 resale value an auto adds, or for the person that shares their car with a spouse, or for the person that knows the 4R70W is a tank and the 5 speed is a hunk of sh*t.
beyond that.. i dunno. its preference. this is along the same lines of "what is the best sounding exhaust". each tranny has its good and bad points, so just chose the one you would be happier with.
