I went with the auto as well. I really like it, it's a very strong transmission and works well from my experience. I daily drive mine in the city so I wanted an auto. The only downside is you can't get the Performance Pack, however I installed GT350R springs and Koni Shocks/Struts which are much better than the standard Performance Pack suspension. I also have a Gt350 strut tower brace on the way, and plan to buy the Brembo brakes eventually, but the 14" GT brakes work amazing as-is on the street. The GT350R springs, shocks, and strut tower brace run about $1200 or so for the package, and you can pick up the 50th Anniversary Brembo's for like $850 I believe. So for about $2k you have an auto that will handle and stop with the best of them. I'd also suggest the BMR cb005 lockout, it stops wheel hop and runs about $200.

Question for you auto guys, when accelerating hard while driving (say passing) do you always downshift with the paddle or left the car do the shifting? If so does it make much difference in acceleration? I haven't had much time on the paddle shifters yet.

Where can I pick up a good converter?

Just about any performance mod is a warranty killer. If the dealer you bought the car from wants to push the issue. As far as a good converter? Look into Circle D. I love mine.

Just put your foot down.

let me tell you when you get a tune which includes shift points and shift pressure its pretty fun. A circle d converter is the way to go regardless of mods or not!

Let the auto do it for you.

Will you damage the engine if you put it in sports without using paddle shifters?

It will never damage your engine, the transmission has so many parameters to not just protect the engine but the transmission itself. You can't even rev drop if you tried :headbonk:

If you want to keep your warranty and want to wake car up, from my personal experience take a look at the Ford Performance Power Pack 2.

I had that on my car for a while before going supercharged, and it really made a great improvement to shifting response and more power across the whole rev range.

Enjoy the new car!

I've thought about that but it drops your powertrain warranty from 5 years down to 3.
