if u want.. go for it.

If you want to actually drive your car then yes. If u want consistent times and a point n shoot car, build the auto.

Build the auto.
Autos rule the track.....Plus you can text/eat/scratch while you drive!

+1, only keep the auto if 3 pedals is too confusing.

Prepare for the auto versus manual war to begin.

Yea i think the same about the war.

I have to much gone into this car just to sell and buy a 5 spd, I am just sick of the "haha Why would you buy a automatic mustang" line. Not to mention I think i would enjoy the manual thats what i would prefer.

I just don't want to change it over and run into the same old problems, Half of the options not working. i.e Cruise Control, back up lights, clutch safety switch.

Its a tough call. I also thought about a Super Street Fighter 4R70W, it would still cheaper then the TKO swap.

If any of you guys have done it would you do it again?

Honestly, I cant imagine NOT driving my car without a 5 speed. An automatic sports car is just kind of lame in a DD role(i see the need for a track only car).

Auto sports cars are boring and have no place in my garage. just my opinion of course.
