This Irritates the heck out of me, I was gonna buy a S2000 but decided to stick with Mustangs and I started reading about all the trans issues. I really feel bad for all the owners who have gone threw the ringer because Ford wants to cheap out and have chinese built crap thrown into expensive toys. I will stick with my decision on getting a new 5.0 but the 6 speed is out and I will go with a Auto, It will take a lot of fun out of driving but that car still will have plenty of fun left.

I will have both but the mustang will come first. With Gas prices a S2000 sounds sensible lol.

Buy the '11 then. It's summer....you won't be pissed about the transmission until November. Mine's like butter these days...we're warming up and the car has no trouble above about 60F.
