I am finding it hard to comprehend why there is another "one of these threads" here. This topic has been beat to death literally.....
FYI for those that may not know....
The 6 speed auto has had just about 0 issues. Very solid trans and they perform better than the manual trans cars.
The manual trans equipped cars have had pressure plate, clutch and master cylinder issues that translate to perceived transmission issues. Similar to what Camaro SS owners have had minus the output shaft breaking. It is not a pandemic as some would like it to be because they have had warranty work denied due to their mods.
I have had 0 issues with my MT-82 equipped GT and run the piss out of the car. It shifts better the harder I am on it.
Latest trip at the track:
Naturally aspirated and never had a valve cover off the motor and it has put down 450WHP with bolt-on's.
FAQ:
1. Is the 2011+ Mustang GT quicker than the 2010+ Camaro SS stock?
yes
2. Does the 2011+ Mustang GT respond better to bolt on's than the Camaro SS?
yes
3. Is the 2011+ Mustang GT lighter than the 2010+ Camaro SS?
yes
4. Does the 2011+ Mustang GT handle better than the 2010+ Camaro SS stock?
yes
Does that make the Camaro a bad car? No. It is just handicapped in the performance area due to IRS and weight neither of which are easy to solve for with the platform it is built on.
The above has all been generally accepted by both communities without bias.
