[QUOTE="Driver72, post: 9837413, member: 105832"] Don't. Though the auto may do well in a straight line and be as fast as the manual in that regard, the auto in the 2011 GT is still ancient in it's technologies. There is no: Sport mode button No rev matching down shifts No paddle shifters No column shifter No launch control It's just a plain jane automatic transmission like the ones you found in cars 20 years ago (just with more gears now and computer advancements that allow to shift faster than it used too, but I'd be willing to bet it's probably still much slower than the fastest of automatics like those in BMW's and Mercedes. So unless your sole interest is brake torquing and then mashing the throttle as you release the brake and getting consistent acceleration times, you'll have more fun and enjoy the car to driver relationship much more in the manual. So until Ford gets with the times (actually those "times" were 3-4 years ago already and updates the automatic to have all the "goodies" autos these days (even in some sub $20k cars) have to make the auto at least closer to a manual in driving enjoyment, don't feel bad, stick with a manual.
