In the hunt for a 2011+ GT.. Few questions..

[Stephen4036]

I was wondering if anyone had any links to a thread on a break down of the certain packages, ie delux, premium, etc..

I also have no idea what models come with what, for instance sync, the nicer wheels and certain fog light/grill options..

My 2nd question would be on how the manuals and automatics are holding up.. I would prefer a manual but I've heard some rumors on the M6 having issues... If anyone has had previous experience with either the auto or manual please chime in..

Thank you for any advice and information you may have in advance, thank you!

To answer your question my old 11 5.0's m6 was junk. Would not shift at wot into second at the track. So I traded it in for a GT500

Buy a 2012 automatic put a circle d converter in it and a paxton , and your running in the 10's in the quarter mile!

My manual is holding good and autos are faster and stronger. As far as trims and packages go you have to look around and get what you like. The only one that has a different grill and fog lights is the gt/vs and the boss 302.

TT Mustang at Power by the Hour and tuned by Lund ran 200+MPH in the Texas Mile and has nothing in their Auto but a converter. INCREDIBLE Tranny!! I remember when I first got mine in 2010 I was getting flamed like crazy for spending a grand more on the Auto. I have the last laugh :banana:

Cant wait to get my Roush TVS in there!!:dancenana:

Manual for dd, auto for track car. The Manuals with a mgw, spring assist removed, braided clutch line with dot4 swapped is damn perfect. Don't be scared away from a manual

Buy a 2012 automatic leave the stock converter in it and a TVS , and your running in the 10's in the quarter mile!

Fixed it for you.

Just buy mine with a newly installed clutch, and be happy with it!

Tvs not on a hot day....heat soak!!!

[QUOTE=fixed it for you

9 second Paxton- not on street tires!!!

 

[manolith]

tvs are fine on the heat. if you upgrade the heat exchanger you wont have a single issue on hot days....
also you can run 9s on drag radials.

I know a lot of people really dig the A6, and they are definitely the hot ticket on the strip. For me though...I couldn't imagine owing a car like this without a manual. True enough...mine makes odd noises from time to time but it never grinds or locks me out of any gear and I've no mods to it at all. I can even bang off redline shifts with no drama at all.

If your driving miss daisy then get an auto , if you want a real sports car then get a manual

It's kind of hard to get a TVS heat soaked at 9-10lbs.

 

[manolith]

If your driving miss daisy then get an auto , if you want a real sports car then get a manual

yeah because the mustang is a "real sports car" :nonono:

If your driving miss daisy then get an auto , if you want a real sports car then get a corvette

Fixed this one for you. The Mustang isn't trying to be a sports car.

Auto plus a big blower = easy low 10's high 9's.

Go with a man pedal. Mine has yet to give me one problem on the street or at the strip.

I ordered a 2014 GT with the auto. No way I would buy the MT82 Getrag 6 speed manual. For the first time in life, I can say that the auto transmission in a Mustang is better than the stick. The auto can handle insane levels of power stock, unlike the manual. With my plans of adding a twin turbo to this car, buying the manual would have been a mistake due to the power levels I plan to achieve.

I somewhat agree with you, However my manual trans is giving me no problems at all. A little notchy when cold but I still have the stock fluid in there. I have a procharger and have over 600rwhp. Some get bad transmissions and some dont.

There are still auto cars that have problems too.
