RE: automatic vs manual

i agree i think manual is much more fun, gives you something to do when driving can get monotenous

i love the automatic tranny... however i just get bored of the fact that i cant shift!

You can still shift. You got 1-3 on the shifter, and 4-5 with your foot. OD either way.

Ok, I love the manual tranny. My question concerning Horsepower: Our advertised 300hp...Ive read that its 300 at the crank, and dynoed around 275-280 at the rear wheels. Any thuth to this??

I heard it was the other way. Somewhere I heard that Ford under-rated the actual power. I also heard that the 300hp rating was actually at the wheels. Guess we need someone who's stock and has done a dyno...

Nop that's not true, 300 is the real aprox crank number
