cleveland said:In my defense of purchasing an Auto equiped Mustang (a real man's performance car ), I promised myself that if Ford stuck a 5 speed auto in it and it performed well that I would own it. If only a 4 speed was offered there would have been no way that I would enjoy that car then knowing that others have a whole 'nother gear over me. I would have had fun shifting that box about 50% of my overall driving time. I drive a lot and I dont always want to drive like a "real man with his stick".
Since getting the below posted mods installed I have been more friendly to the idea of manually shifting my auto (since all 5 gears are currently selectable). Downshifting allows the engine to brake going through the corners and I have complete control over my car just the same if I owned a manual. There's just no clutch involved and Im happy with that. I get the best of both worlds because its not every day that I want to play around and I just need to focus on the traffic ahead and around me.
Do I care if I get called a 16 chick for owning such a vehicle with above and below mentioned transmission, no, not at all. If my car and my reaction time are faster than the competition your silly poopoo talk about the auto becomes useless and you've just been .
BTW, your thread has been hijacked.

Sorry man....but that was one of the lamest posts in your defense....you definetely didn't "own" anyone! hahaha sorry....I'm actually sitting here laughing at your futile attempts to justify buying an auto. Anyways, if you really like the auto, or dislike the standards, just say it! No need to get defensive. I'll even go out on a limb here and say that in certian cars I would rather have an automatic....such as a Porsche Turbo Convert....but thats just because they are pimp.
