Don't let the term "mod" go to your head thinking you have the authority to lock topics "just because."

Your sig has "2005 Black GT Stick 1 of 368"
You must be pretty excited about that to go to the trouble of having that as part of your sig.
Well I'm pretty excited that I have a manual transmission and just wanted to see what the ratio of manual to autos where among Mustang enthusiast on this forum.

Those are all in the General forum. V6 owners are a special breed

I agree with some posters here, if I had to drive the Mustang as my DD, I probably would have bought an auto. There are all kinds of reasons why we all bought what we did.

From what I understand, some tests that were done by various car magazines found the manual transmission to be just a few seconds faster than an auto.

My six-banger is a manual.
I originally wanted an auto (because I had never driven stick before, and had no idea how to) but the car I ended up working out a deal on was a manual, so that was that.
In hindsight, I'm very glad I didn't get what I originally wanted. My Mustang is my daily driver, and it has absolutely converted me to cars with manual transmissions. I will never again touch an auto, the driving experience just isn't as fun.
