[QUOTE="kevinp, post: 10443025, member: 106826"] I dont think anything on earth was slower than my 97 GT with an auto lol. One of the few cars I didnt waste my time even trying to modify, i have no idea why I bought that thing, I gave it to my wife to drive and even she complained about it being a dog. She had a 95 GTS manual trans previously. But to be honest the '11 'feels' like a dog with an auto, as do most cars stock. But the ETs tell a different story on these, IMO if the trans holds up an auto just lends itself better to dragstrip use. When you change something it doesnt take 20 passe to figure out if what you did made a positive or negative change, Plus its way easier on the whole driveline. No doubt the manual car is more fun, and of course you are much more of a real man if you can powershift your way to glory (I prefer to do that with other people's cars though) or road race the car. I've driven paddle shifter auto c6 vettes and they are ho-hum on a winding mountain road too, but I've driven a DCT BMW on those same roads and that the ticket right there - too bad nothing like that is available yet on these. A GT500 with a real DCT trans would kick ass, but I'm sure that would be a cost and warranty nightmare for Ford. [/QUOTE]
