The amount you would put into a well built AOD, you could spend a little more and drop in a T-56 Viper spec tranny. Will hold the power, and give you two overdrives for those long cruises. I am the biggest advocator of the standards, and unless your running deep 9s or better, I will never say go auto...
Listen to me or not, me personally, NO AUTO.

soontobefastfox said:well sorry to disappoint all of you stick shift guys cause I'm going with a c4 or AOD with manual valve body, there is too much stuff to break on a manual if I over rev or miss a gear, I've spent soo much money on my stang (more than 10k on the parts, with all my hard earned money). So I just don't want to be replacing clutches because they will wear out and I don't have unlimited funds. Its my decision so please don't flame me for changing my mind, I sat down and looked at all the options and came up with it myself.
FrankenStang, Yes I prefer manual but this car has the potiental to run into the high 9's with the blower I plan on putting on it. And I'll have a stick shift 06 mustang GT in july so I'm not losing
