What car would you rather have?

[Lightning Struck]

Definately the white one if its clean.

It will match your truck

yea Ive been told that........both slow ha ha ha Javi !!!!

 

[mustangmike98gt]

id say the white one so long as they fill up the tank with gas. lol :thumbsup:

 

[GDawg]

Auto for the track.

but sucky other wise

you not trying to sell a car are you? Lol

I love my stick but at the track, auto rules...

 

[5.Woahhh]

White.

 

[Venom351R]

Im with paul on this. When it comes to a car color option and a manual is a must. Neither one of those cars have that b/c the teal is :snorting:

 

[jc95gt]

id take the first one simply because its and 5 speed

 

[justinschmidt1]

I dont know why theres so much hate on the auto...

a nice stall, gears, valvebody and an auto can be a lot of fun....

I know my auto is a hell of a lot of fun and honestly I wouldnt trade it for a 5 speed turd trans....maybe a 6 speed cobra trans that can handle power

Autos are great at the track and are great for a daily driver

Manual is fun I guess but can be annoying when you just want to chill

I like being able to press o/d off and put my foot to the floor....my car has pulls my face off with the stall and blower

 

[Paul]

a nice stall, gears, valvebody and an auto can be a lot of fun....

...whereas a stick is fun without any modifications, except maybe a $150 shifter.

You may like the auto, but you're clearly in the minority. Five speed cars are far more sought after than autos.

Paul.

fuck 5 speeds!!!! the only thing a manual is good for is a weekend car!!! drive in so cal to move 10 miles and take u 1 hr!!! and well see if the stick is more fun. my stang for weekend fun with the stick and my auto lightning for daily driving it. if i were to do another stang it would be a stalled c4, shift kit, ratchet shifter with 3.08 gears, hella fun and driveable for not that much money. my bros stang is like that and i love it.

 

[Lightning Struck]

well as far as the trans goes to be totally honest its not a major death issue for me, it CAN be swaped out for a stick. And no I dont give a crap about the labor, as most of you know I use a speed shop for all my work anyway, its owned by a long time friend of mine and its LITERALLY a 5 minute walk from my house. So if I wanted the stick put in it Id pay for the parts and a very minimal amount for labor.


Id want the auto ( like you guys have said ) for the track and thats about it..........I have a auto ride now if im going somewhere and I know im going to be in traffic. Im still waiting for the dealer to get back to me, I will see what happens from here.

 

[Paul]

The thing is, searching endlessly for a bargain, only to spend a grand (or probably more) to swap the transmission for the one you want just doesn't make sense.

If I were you, I'd just spend $8-11K for a perfect 94-95 or Cobra set up the way you want. You're going to end up dumping the money in it anyway, so you might as well start with the most solid foundation you can get. Since you have the resources to follow this path, it makes the most sense. IMHO.

im looking now.........

 

[rick focks]

i say #1

 

[Jrgunn5150]

WHite one has 60k less miles, and IMO a nice looking interior, I say white one for a few hundred bucks price diffference.

 

[Lightning Struck]

so Ive found 3 manual cars so far, they are farther away from me but I sent emails to each one and Ill see whats up with them tomorrow.

 

[rick focks]

but the first one's teal!!! name it sunshine

put in a termi motor neway blah blah blah

 

[EastBayStang98]

id get the white one, id use it as a dd

 

[Goldmember]

When it comes to Mustangs, I'd rather have 5-speed. But I can't justify $5K on a 150,000 mile car.

 

[lrall]

so is this a drag car? and the lightning is a....fast daily driver? Seems like you are going to have 2 of the same thing and get sick of it and sell it just like the cobra....

 

[95SC]

None of them for that price.
Someone is crazy $5500 for a 94 GT with 150K miles I woudn't pay more than $2K for that car.You can find a 96-98 cobra for around $6K

Look what you can get for $5K http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/cobras-buy-sell-244/557907-f-s-red-95-gt-cobra-built-5-0l-5-000-a.html
