2020+ Shelby GT500 Mustang
Is "no manual available" a deal-breaker for you regarding whether you'll purchase a new 2020 GT500?

[QUOTE="carguy19, post: 16105130, member: 47250"] The car won’t have the same soul without a manual. I’m not buying one without a clutch pedal/manual trans. Muscle cars with DCT transmissions.... like seriously WTF? Ford is losing it too like other manufacturers. I can’t believe my eyes and ears. A Quick related story.... I’ve owned 5 Audi S4’s in my life.... a 2000, a 2002, a 2011, a 2015 and now a 2018. I always thought that the S4 was one of the best cars on the market. Fantastic performance, handling, nice seats and luxury and unbeatable all weather performance w the Quattro.... and until now a 6spd manual. Well......I bought the 2018 model instead of paying up to get a bmw m3 w a 6spd.... partly because I was working at Audi at the time and got a massive discount for being an employee. So, despite me trying to look past it, and giving it a shot because of my loyalty to the brand, the car is absolutely ruined without having a stick/manual transmission. Tiptronic and paddles are great gadgets and fancy distractions, but there’s no substitute... the sporty soul of the car is gone. I’m not happy with it at all and the fun of driving it... no matter how good the engin, performance, and suspension and traction is, its equivalent to pretty much every other car on the road. Boring. Ford is in the process of completely F*CK1NG the new GT500 up. I hope that they don’t do to the GT500 what Audi has done to my always beloved S4’s. In all my life, I have never been disappointed in Ford (especially SVT) until now, I’ve always loved the latest and greatest... and have spent a fortune on them (16 and counting) in my life. Hopefully they will come to their senses like the article in road and track states and offer a manual if “the mustang enthusiasts/customers show enough interest in it”. [/QUOTE]
