Well if you dont know how to drive manual and simply dont want a manual, thats actually a good reason to be happy about a DCT, I cant fault anyone for wanting the DCT.I just want a DCT because I don’t know how to drive a stick.
But the difference between us, I’m actually buying one, so maybe that’s why Ford is listening and using a DCT.
Yep, that’s gotta be why.

You keep reading your magazines, I'll be at the race track, where I experience the real world lol. Like I said previously, we have a ton of dudes in 1le's doing juuuust fiiiine with their shitty manuals, plenty of guys in acr vipers also doing just fine. What yall dont remember is these are not race cars, they are fun cars. You are right a DCT will be faster in majority of cases (marginal) and different days and different pros can net different results but only guarantee'd to be faster against yourself. Im in no way against them, they are fun in their own right but there aint nothing wrong with an old stick either. Some of the fastest full bodied cars we have on track are these RS1 (cascar), they are running pushrod 355's (450hp) with 4 speed and a damn solid axle. They run faster than GT3RS's (pro driven) and we have some 70's year olds running in that ballpark.
Some of you dont understand the track day world and thats ok, you just buy your car and show people Randy Pobst's hero
That's what Ill be eyeing now, maybe... Or a Radical SR3... LolLove the GT350R sounds beautiful when you hit 2nd to 3rd to 4th at redline... it really is a feeling to behold in that car.... truly amazing.
Just told ya ill get some new numbers sunday.. The session I posted was the first time I had all the right pads matched with my tires on this particular car. Can you wait that long? If you think thats an excuse, I wont change a single setting between 6 entire sessions just for you lol. You say its always an excuse for manual guys but a friend of mine who is actually a pro racer just set a best time of 2:12 in a brand new GT2RS. last year he ran a 2:08 in a 3RS. Whats the excuse when both cars have a PDK? yes, the 2RS will be faster than the 3RS but condtions were not ideal in the 2RS run. But that is the reality of tracks. Inconsistency between literally any car for a huge number of reasons. But you know, I dont expect you to understand that until you go for yourself, I surely hope you will do some track days in your new 500.But.. im asking the pro racer that races every weekend for more heats to show me that consistency that the "1" post had. All im.asking is for you to validate your point
I understand it's nearly impossible to prove fiction, but thats also what im asking you to do. Show us your times, with or without the "excuses"
Either way will validate my points..
Back to magazines for me
Especially considering these are fun play toys not race cars. I love the gotta win attitude. Win what? I do understand wanting DCT though. It really is fun as wellWatching a pro driver on TV is faster too, but where's the fun in that. Manual option please.

Current Ford managment isnt listening to any of us, dont get yourself excited thinking you are even 1% special to them. They care more about hippies and green tech. This car never would have happened with the new leaders.Guys!! Im starting to get REALLY concerned!!
Early order guides dont have a manual trans listed!!!!!
Is it possible Ford isnt listening to YOU, i mean, YOU are their bread and butter, how could they do that to you.
Screw best possible offering, most brutal Mustang ever, or ttracting new customers.
They want, NO, they NEED to keep you, the aging, ready to move to Florida and retire, weighting new car vs end of life expenses demographic

Hoping it takes 800rwhp like a champ.I wonder what the epic carnage limit is for the DCT is ?
We are just months away!
