Ever wonder as to why 302 Boss and Shelby GT500 Mustangs only came with a stick.... I traded a '10 SS for my current SS M6.... A manual lends a special connection to the car, and for me, that’s highly appealing. The car is a Blast to drive! Oh... one more thing, I do not miss the L99 at all... To OP, test drive both.... You will then see what is more suitable for your ultimate driving pleasure. |

Get the manual transmission. Shifting gears is a blast. Top ten reasons to get a manual.
10. You feel like you have more control on how the car drives. 9. No gear hunting. 8. Easier to rev. 7. Your wife may not know how to drive it...good thing. 6. Keeps your reflexes in tip top shape. 5. Car jackers may leave you alone....most don't know how to drive a stick. 4. Three pedals is always better than two. 3. It's easier to do burnouts. 2. Really tests your shifting skills and ability. Always room to improve. 1. You can change your shifter knob with cooler ones. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

I NEVER drove a stick before, but I have a 1LE on order.
... I always wanted to learn and I know I'll force myself to learn if I'm paying $40K plus for it

Thanks for the replies. I like coming back to a thread full of replies.
And as for that last picture, I thought 6th gear was pretty much to save gas while 5th was the fastest? |

Those that complain about the hill start assist just don't know how to use it. I hated it at first, kept stalling the car because i wasn't used to it. There's just something about it that screwed my brain up (probably my muscle memory) because there was no sense of urgency in releasing the clutch after letting off the brakes. BUT once I figured out how use it I quit stalling the car and don't burn my clutch at all on hills. Bottom line, get the Manual tranny. You'll never regret it. |
