Yea I agree flame us all you want, I would love a GT 500 with a nicely tuned auto. I like driving a stick it is fun but for me I love having an auto whether its on the streets or at the strip it never lets me down. Everyone has a different opinion though.

There is nothing better than driving a manual transmission car! I just feel so much involved with the car when I have to change gears rather than it being done for me. That being said my sixer is an automatic.... My GT, however, has a manual transmission and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Give me an auto anytime although the GT500 would be fun with a manual.

Well, FYI, the Mustang GT500 has a 5.4L Supercharged V8 developing 500 hp, hence the name GT500...I wouldn't mind an automatic one with my knees problem...

OMG no wonder everyone that has been in my car is puzzled by what I am doing. The younger the more puzzled; if I have a stroke no one will be able to drive me home.

I have heard, oh you have one of those. How did you learn how to use that? Funny thing I just learned yesterday if I don't touch the gas and let out the clutch out slowly the car will give itself just the right amount of gas. So maybe someone can drive me home if I have a stroke.

The heck with just an automatic, I wish I could get a chauffeur with my GT500. Steering is just too much work for me. I could break a nail or something.....

GT 500 and Automatic should never be utilized in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence!

Blasphemers!

What is the point of having 500 HP if you can't slam through the gears and remove some rubber from your rear tires???

But that is just my opinion. I learned to drive in a 1966 Mustang V8 289 with a 3 speed manual transmission.......Automatics are ok for the family car but never for my car!

Automatics are good for trucks as well.

But an automatic in a sports car?

I drove several automatic GT's in various levels of mod trims and wasn't impressed. Thats why I drove 6 hours to Atlanta to get my GT with a manual transmission. The thrill of driving an automatic GT compared to a manual just isn't the same. The manual transmission is sooooo much better!

Stock for stock, it depends on the driver.Most cannot drive sticks like they think.
Do some mods and a manual is no match for an auto. Everytime you push that clutch pedal in you lose speed and distance.This is true for all vehicles, not just mustangs. Sticks are for show and autos are for go
