Wow, that was a great deal. Thanks for the advice. mach1registry looks like a good spot.

 

you know to me i have never been much of a fan of auto's. when i bought my mad *** mach there was the one i bought which was dark grey with stick and they also had a torch red auto. i wanted the red one until i opened the door and i quickly told the salesman not to bother telling me about the car.

 

by the way i like the fact that the mach only has a few thousand made for 04. i had a black 03 gt and everytime i went to the mall or something my car got lost in a sea of gt's. now the city i live in there is only two of us that has the grey mach 1, and the other guys mach is an 03.mine is the 40th ann. too bad my wife got pregnant, now i am about to have to sell it.

 

Not sure about the production numbers for mach's, but mach1registry has them.

Auto's aren't bad, especially for drag racing. Stall converter w/stickies auto>manual w/stickies in any race with equally modded cars.Everyday driving and little to no racing I'd say go manual b/c there so damn fun. But some people hate driving a stick in rush hour traffic. I could care less though, playinga little music I like in ahalf hr of rush hour trafficand I'm happy while driving the stick. It's all about mood and how easily your stressed out there. Good luck on whatever car you find carpe!

i disagree with the auto statement, it can be better if you HP is way up there, but for MOST S/S apps the manual will be better. but Steel is right, be happy with what you decide on thats what makes the difference

 

I know where there is a black 5 speed with less than 4K miles on a Ford factyory waranteed engine, making 280 whp/296 wtq for around $14K

quick question. i found a nice looking mach 1 for sale but it has an manual transmission, now i have driving manual, and im not half bad (1st always gives me trouble though) what would it take for me to convert that into an auto trans? could i just use any mustang/mustang gt tranny? or would it have to be something special??

 

Damn! What bolt-ons do you have to get that kind of mileage? I was getting 17, and i put an o/r x pipe with Flo's and dumps and got 18.5, no matter how i drive it.
