I currently have a 5 speed, but I hope to change over to a C4 in the future. With that said:
fun to drive = 5 speed
whoop *** with consistent passes=C4
My vote -- C4

its not THAT bad!

So, this boils it down to whether or not he drag races. If he doesn't, then a manual is the way to go (so much fun!). If he is hardcore about getting consistent passes at the drags, then C4, yeah. AOD might work too, but, I hate mine. It is TEH SUXXORZ. Yeah.

FOR SURE!

the AOD is easily built up with shift kits and converters so that it will compete with 5 speeds and win easily both on the street and at the strip.

RE: Automatic or Manual
i ran 13.40s in an aod car with stock heads, cam and intake...
just get a stall and a gear, fug the stick. Its a lot of fun whippin up on the 5 speed cars with an aod, they never expect it. Plus they might even give you land... I still have an aod in the car with the 398, but like said before for a drag car go C4

RE: Automatic or Manual
for both of you, one 5 speeds arent faster then autos. your not going to gain a full second from doing a 5 speed swap. most ppl that have sticks cant use them to hte fullest anyways. most of them just tires like crazy cause they do the dump effect. yes stock aod sucks but moded it will destroy sticks when racing. autos are alot more consistant for racing. and fi you go shifts for shifts a auto is faster and doesnt lose as much rpms as a stick does.

its up 2 u. manual is much more fun and faster for what u are doin, but remember that the t-5s suck *****. if u put in a 5 speed, get a good one.

That may be true, but I still hate mine. I want complete control. Always. Plus, my Mustang is bonestock, so I will get about another second off of teh 1/4 time, just by replacing the transmisson. TEH T5 WINS!

RE: Automatic or Manual
WRONG!!!! manuels are way faster then autos. i dont no where u got that from. ive driven in stock auto mustangs and stock 5spd mustangs, stock auto jettas and stock 5spd jettasand a lot more other cars . the 5spd wins every time. unless ur the ultimate driver like u think u are and u can juss out drive every single person out there, 5spds are always faster
