I was wondering the same thing. I know a tune really improved my car with better shift points... 12.8 with DRs doesn't sound that good considering people have been getting that out of the stock manual.

the auto tranny cant handle much TQ from whats been told here so far. Racing stock is fine, but seems like everyone is shooting 100 shot of Noz. Autos sux anyway.. only for lazy drivers.. the 6 speed is finally out now.. I cant wait till an auto with nos hits the race track.. I think that tranny will blow up like the death star. heheh

I have to disagree on autos sucking and only for lazy drivers

Autos are all business. Always faster than human ability when you get into the lower et's. But I do like driving stick better since it's way more fun.

I guess thats why the majority of serious race cars use automatics, you know like all the top fuel cars, huh...... so that would say that me, hawgman and Don H are lazy ass driver!

hell yea.. hawgs only 5'2. Feet barely reach the gas much less gas and clutch.. hahahaa :roflmao:

Don lives in So cal where he has to share the road with 10 million illegals so there is too much stop and go. So I give him a pass

Here is my point.. Look at all the shops buying the 5.0... how many are buying autos? look at Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ferrari.. ask for an auto and they will laugh you out.


there is more to a sports car then a small straight line....

Spoken only as the resident Stupid Motherfucker could put it. You can't go fast in anything so just shut the fuck up.

not sure about being lazy but auto's win races (and some go fast too) thats why i bought one. i'm a bracket racer at heart and when a stick shift car pulls into the stagings lanes there's a f'n traffic jam of people trying to pull behind the duck with a clutch :) yes i've done it and so have you SD
oh and before i bought my car Lentech told me to buy a stick shift car and convert it to a 4r70 cause the 5r55s was total junk....well i disagree. it may not be as stout as a TH400 but for 99% of the 05up mustang owners it's more than strong enough. i doubt ford will put a weaker transmission into a car with over 100more hp than the previous model "stock". big question is when will someone make a decent torque converter for the 6 speed auto.
