I'll tell you you are wrong. With only a tune to adjust rev limiter and shift points (which only offset what does not exist on a stick) the
new 5 speed auto tranny has nearly identical gearing. The stock rear end gearing is a little higher though. There is no way you can tell me anyone can manually shift a gear as fast as an auto. Go to the track and watch 'em run. Granted auto is not as fun it can be just as fast.

Not to mention the Auto weights more right off the bat and will still get off the line quicker. You can't explain anything to Shifty... he's been driving for more than a year now. He's getting ready to move up to Pro Stock.

Oh yeah? Well...My dad can beat up your dad!
Sorry, I couldn't resist... I got a question and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this... but who freakin' cares? Is it really that important? Are you cooler, a better man, etc... SHEESH... Just my opinion...And opinions are like you-know-what's, we all have 'em and they ALL stink..
I agree that there are alot of conditions that affect the 1/4 times besides the car, mods, etc... And I'm sure that every car that rolls off the line does not produce the same exact horsepower. If so, all props to ford for producing engines, gears, drag, etc.. with 0 standard deviations on every car that rolls off the line.
Anyway...continue.. Sorry for the interruption.. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming...

Man, what a thread. I come here to see what mods are coming out and what is being done to other stangs. This I'm rubber your glue just needs to end. We all have sweet vehicles be it stick or be it auto. WHO CARES WHAT ONE IS FASTER IN THE 1/4. Let us just be lucky that we have the chance to own the first new Mustang. There are many other people out there that are hating us because they were to late for this purchase. All I ask is to mod the hell out of the car and then we can compare. Sorry for this but...

Well put. I did my stick time in an '03 GT, thought it would be a good idea at the time. My forty mile commute was fun for about three weeks, ok for about two days, and then it outright sucked. I told myself at that time "Not again". I've seen both sides of the coin and if you enjoy your stick, more power to ya. However, you should realize that some of us did not buy (in my case a 3rd) ponycar just to get thrills 1/4 mile at a time.

I kept looking for a RedFire GT with black top etc... I couldn't find them anywhere here in the midwest. After days of looking on ebay, search forddirect.com I found a V6. I just couldn't wait until Sept for an order. I convinced myself that the V6 was better (FOR ME, not in general), cheaper ins, etc... I'm sooooooo jeolous! 
Who cares...when you destroy your tranny powershifting who do you think will be faster. I mean congrats on the time, that's a helluva run but it proves nothing. I own a manual and even if another 05 or an 06 beat me I'd be giving high fives all around...stick, auto, or one monster turbine engine...whatever. We all have good taste in cars and are pationate about them to boot. As long as we all spank the local ricers nothing else matters...
<AmericanMuscle for bringing back this thread....
