I have great transmission... feels kinda slow but i had a 17 charger daytona 5.7 auto. The mustang needs boost either super or turbo is best for manual from my research.

I've put about about 1k miles on my 2018 with the 6-speed manual and i love it so far. Still in the break-in period though.

I wud go with the 10spd auto..its faster and can be shifted manually if yu prefer.

If your looking to buy, an '18 would be a good buy as we are midway thru the season, and '19s are right around to corner.
Nothing annoys me except the Performance Package 1 is too stiff and the 3.73 axle too low. I wud just get a GT with
3.55 gears and be done. But to each his own. Fit and finish is as expected for the class and waiting for a '19 shud
get some of the bugs in the drivetrain sorted out. If yu can wait, wait for the '19s, but expect the prices to rise due to
trade disputes around the world and rise in material tariffs.

only got about 200 miles on my 6 speed, but liking it so far. I also got the 3.73 gears & I'm liking that also. only 200 miles so far but I haven't used 6th gear yet. test drove 3.15 & 3.55 but had a little bucking when taking off. those 3.73's on level ground just release clutch then mash pedal & you're good to go. also the 2018 have a little more HP. hope this helped.

also the automatic's are quicker, but I'm not sure of available rear gear ratio's.

Thanks guys. The incentives on the 2018s are pretty decent right now so I'm leaning towards a 2018 with the GT Performance Pack with the 6sp manual. The autos 1/4 second advantage 0-60 or however minimal it is just isn't appealing to me. I've only owned one automatic in my life and plan on keeping it that way.

My 08 had 3.31s but was supercharged so it worked out to be the perfect combo. I'm not planning on going FI on the new GT but you never know, so the 3.73s are really my only real reservation. I have a 55 mile commute (rountrip) with about 80% of it being highway at around 70mph. The 3.31s kept me right at 1800rpms... the 3.73s will obviously spin a fair bit higher. Probably overthinking it though.

If yu go with the performance pk it comes with the 3.73 gears...with your commute yu may want to go with the 3.55. The 3.73 willspin about 2000 rpms at 70mph so yu can consider that...If yu can order the performace pk with the 3.55, i think wud be ideal for you.
Go for a test drive with each..enjoy..
