I want a 50th Edition GT350 with a Martini themed paint job.
...and a Gulf inspired GT350...
I thought I saw a Video or maybe Read it-->:shrug:<--That Ford was offering the Blue on the LE to pay homage to the Blue Oval...Love the Kona 'cause I honestly think it looks better on the car. But there's zero that Kona has to do with the heritage and I would have popped for Guardsman Blue without even a blink if they'd have offered it.
Its funny,you DON"T like A/T transmissions in a Mustang because it RUINS the driving experience, and they should buy something else,BUTyou think it is OK to put a 4 BANGER Eco Boost engine in a Mustang that looks like a cross between a what used to look like a Mustang and a Fusion and that is ok,putting a 4 Banger in is sinfull.I have never owned an automatic, ever.
I think the last time I drove an automatic was a few years ago for two days on a rental and the first few minutes I keep pushing on a ghost clutch.
If I had to drive in bumper to bumper traffic 5 days a week I would probably get an automatic but thankfully I don't have to do that so no need for an automatic.
I race tracks as an hobbyist and for high performance cars 'automatics' are the norm…different set up obviously but same principle so automatics have come a long way on the track with paddle shifters.
Having said that though: If you are getting a GT Mustang, to me anyway it seems a contradiction to get an automatic. The whole point is the driving experience, the fun of it, the connection to the car.
Just my humble opinion but I understand its a tradeoff but if your priority is comfort than just get a something else altogether. If you are set on a Mustang and are in a daily commute in traffic, the 2.3 EB automatic is the way to go, skip the LE altogether because it drinks gas with a 5.0 and the Performance Pack is useless at 10 mph in bumper to bumper traffic anyway.
The 50th LE even more so, I was surprised it even came in an automatic.
Kinda of like going for swim in the ocean in the south. Gorgeous day, beautiful sandy beach, nice waves rolling in, perfect water temperature…but wait…you have to put on your Dry suit because you don't want to get Wet !!
Forget the suit, get the manual and jump in
