[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16098656, member: 83412"] "Finally" has come and gone. With the passage of time we have witnessed increased complexity and cost. When I was a kid you had either a C6 or a Top Loader. Now I'm a ****ing dinosaur and modern times are calling for radical propulsion system restructuring. You can't harken back forever and at some point have to move forward. A manual variant for this car would be unique, be it a TR6060 or TR6070, and expensive considering a 2-3 year run. A DCT is going to be even more expensive but does bring with it a bit of a performance advantage and the potential for better emissions/mpg (even if only fractionally). The ten speed auto would seem a natural but every time I have ever brought it up to people I know and trust they shoot it down. Going to be an interesting moment when we learn what the decision was. Hopefully we hear the rationale from Ford's perspective along with it. As I have mentioned, they have done it for decades now in their highest performing Mustang model. Changing that philosophy at this point would add quite a bit in terms of cost in what will probably already be more than some at Ford wanted to be asking for this car. [/QUOTE]
