Auto or Manual?

Some people love the auto and race them very well. My personal pref was the stick. Both of them are fun to drive.

Any sports car i own will be a stick. I would drive an auto daily driver tho.
All 4 of my Stangs have been sticks, but I will probably go with an auto next. Properly set up it should be faster and def. more consistent than a stick.
Pahleeeze!

Manual, It more fun to drive :burnout:
If your a track guy and like an auto, then that's fine, but on the street, an auto sucks!
Ditto that!
Stick, and glad I got this instead of an auto, definately more fun to drive.
drove a 03 Mach auto with a B&M hammer shifter...its fun to drive plus its the way to go if you are into bracket

I owned a automatic Mustang gt convertible before my mach 1 and it was fun to drive but it got told to me even after i put gears and a superchip in it to adjust the shift quickness and shift firmness. Oh and I was constantly losing to five speeds on the interstate because even with the amount of mods i had which were quite extensive.
When it came to the mach 1 i drove an automatic and it felt sluggish to me, I was like durn this thing really needs a chip and gears. I mean it had top end power but no low end power and the automatic tranny made it seems worse on the low end.
I drove the 5-speed mach 1 and it felt much better and I am extremely happy with my purchase. I feel as though this car gives me a "driving experience" every time i get in it. Where before I just felt like i was driving.
Just my input if you have any questions email me cause i have experience with automatic mustangs and 5-speeds has i've owned 4 mustangs myself and have driven many others.
Mach is a 5-speed and the DD is too. Only way to fly.
I can see wanting an auto as a DD, but I don't have a commute in stop n' go traffic, so it doesn't really bother me. Actually, the only way I have any sort of power in mine is to leave it in a low gear and wing it. lol. 4 cycl. of Honda performance. I've got the power curve down to a science in that thing.

The Mach w/ 5 speed is rough enough that it reminds me of a balanced and blueprinted CRAZY azz built 302 stang a buddy of mine had way back when,..........and it throws me back like a 911 turbo.
They are fast and feel even faster,...thats why I like it and it wouldnt feel the same with an auto.

Yep.
You guys are being pretty rough on the Autos, I promise you that their not that bad. I've enjoyed mine and have had no problems or issues with the car at all.
To me I think the auto vs manual question leads to the answer of: it is the drivers preference. Some people like auto cars and others would rather have the manual.

I had a 98 Cobra with a 5 speed. Now I have an 04 Marauder. As you may be aware, we share a very similar drive train. I am very happy with the auto. A shift kit is in the future, but with the reprograming I have, the shifts are much inproved.
