A performance car to me has to be manual, automatics are for old lazy people.Can't stand the sound of an auto car accelerating and shifting,gayest thing EVER. But hey,thats just my opinion.

At 50 i have never driven a car with a manual trans till I test drove a corvette at a carmax . Few YouTube videos and I was good to go, kinda . Second time I drove a manual trans was when I picked my 1le up at the dealer. I owned a 2010 camaro ss with an auto and over time I hated it , it looked great but the AFM killed it for me . And lack of exhaust note didn't help. Was boring just taken back road drives. Getting the 6 speed wasn't an easy choice but it fixed what was missing from my last camaro . No regrets at all, and so much more fun to just drive .

Kind of sounds like me. After I learned to drive manual car, I started watching YouTube videos on changing gears on motorcycles/dirtbikes, so once I got a chance to ride a old Kawasaki ninja 250, I got the hang of it the first time!

First manual car I've bought in 20 years and I love it. Not a DD though, which likely makes a huge difference.

I can drive stick. Only stick car I own left is my trans am ws6. Refuse to let it go love the car. But my camaro and my ss sedan are automatics.

having driven over 2 million miles in european cars i know how a clutch and gearbox should feel.
the manual mustangs are dreadfull to drive...clutch is unpredictable..gearbox is noisy and cluncky

I come from a euro car background and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 5th gen clutch or gearbox. Can't speak for your mustang, never driven one.

If you don't want some punk kid stealing your ride get a manual.

I'd rather have a "gay automatic" than have an IQ of the room temperature.
