Ya I already was looking at it .. I agree automatics are great after you build them but the fun level is just not there and stock there the worst mustangs ever made. Automatic Sn95 are bigs that run 16 in the 1/4 lol

Very true but add a good converter, about the same price as a good clutch, and a shift kit/ j-mod same as a short throw shifter and I'll bet it's extremely comparable, add the gears into the mix and it just adds to the fun.. Add sticky tires, even more fun, but I could absolutely see the auto pulling away at the strip.. Even the street on a loose enough converter..

Because you are acting like your a MOD and your not lol lol lol .. We can talk about what ever we wont kid stop acting like one . This site is going town hill fast again and there is going to be no one here again .. Im just about done with this site .. This site was great then everyone left and the MODs had to send out email to get people to come back .. I see why .

I'm not acting like a mod. I'm just trying to prevent you from making this another locked thread.
And since I can't really understand any other part of what you said, I have no more comments.


PS:

AUTOS FTMFW!!!

Have you always owned Automatic mustangs? I know your shit is fast but Im just curious whats more fun to drive ?

I can honestly say that a properly built auto behind a boosted higher HP car can be far more fun to drive than a manual.

Turbo cars + auto = winning

You havent been in a real auto car if you think otherwise

I love banging gears but the sensation you get from a badass stalled auto in a 500+ rwhp boosted car is just awesome.

Its like having your cake and eat it cause you can just chill and not have to deal with the 500 pound clutch pedal all the time too but hit that o/d off and put the pedal to the floor and your gone.

of course we are all talking straight line which is great but wouldn't the manual have an advantage in an auto-x or road course?

You could build an auto with a manual valve body and tight converter that would basically mimic a manual. Sequential shifted auto ftw

I would think an auto would be fine but the heat generated from a loose converter wouldn't be too good over long perioda of.time

shit, an auto could be in the powerbnd constantly on an auto x course with a looser converter

Autos are gayer than two dudes boning.

...and the 2011+ 5.0s are awesome.
