Yes Auto is strange in a Sports Car, But maybe he did it for the Mrs.

The Mustangs from 2010-13 are having a lot of trouble with their stick shifts whereas the autos are bullet proof. There's not a stick shift that will out perform these autos. Over 80% of all Porsche's are now automatics. They are considering dropping standard transmissions all together.

No more Sox and Martin Shifting. Agree on the Auto's. They came a long way from a C-6

4shorts; I like the shift knob! And I'll bet Mrs. 4shorts knew you'd get lots of use out of those muffs!

Auto trannies have come a long way, but to be in a sports car, and not shift, just doesn't seem right. I had a standard in my 'Stang, with a really nice performing 302. Could leave almost anyone on the straightaway, but also got great fuel milage. I wish that I still had that car! I'd drive it to Newfoundland!

Thanks. It's there for a conversation piece. Might not stay there. We'll see. That frighten BX gets loud after a few hours plus if I play AC/DC I get my work done fast. Really fast :laughing:

Oh these machines have changed sooooo much. By the time you got to second I'd be out of sight :cool2:
I could have had a new Shelby for less money but didn't want the stick. Even Carroll Shelby had auto's :shocked:
Hey but you can still come to Newfoundland

Then I'd have had to come home and tweak on mine! :laughing: I am trying to plan a trip to Wisconsin, in less than 2 years. Who knows what other "road trips" I'll get around to? Thanks for the invitation! If I get there, I'll want a ride in the 'Stang!

When you get here you can use the Stang :thumbsup:

Hey murph, you knocking my old 68GT 302 4bbl fastback with a C-6? I put a shift kit in that and it could throw your head back. Lowered with cut springs from a Ford truck and KYB gas shocks. Fab'd a cross brace to mount across the shock towers to stiffen the front end. 4pt roll bar... Okay, sorry, reliving my coming of age days (18yr old doing mods some 35 years ago.

My 70 Chevelle SS 454 LS-6 would wipe up the floor with ya. LOLs those were the Day's

You boys are raising my pulse rate, talking fast cars! I ran the hot 302, and also a well rigged 390. I am a Ford girl, but the 454s could run like a scalded cat. Too bad the carburetor floats sank every 10K miles! :laughing:
