Well one plus for me, with the MT the wife wont be bugging me to drive the Mustang to girls night out like she did with the AT Mustang. She scares me when I ride in her car, and it's an AT.

I'd absolutely be willing to pay a premium for a manual option, as long as the manufacturer didn't deliberately make the transmission a POS to further push sales toward the automatic and then say "See? We offered you a manual and hardly any of you bought one so apparently no one wants a manual anymore." No, we want GOOD manuals.How many people are serious enough about having a MT to accept that becoming the extra-cost option over the AT? How much more would you be willing to spend for it?
Did you drive it in manual mode? The best thing is to have one of eachI drove both auto and manual and I bought the manual. I’d do it again... I think... some times I get the itch to drag race (even bought a drag pack) just to run some low/mid 11’s. But 2 years and 8k it’s just a weekend toy. I know which car is faster, and if I really cared I wouldn’t have bought a 6 speed fully loaded car. I drove a A10 last month that’s got pretty much the same as me, e85 and all and it was faster no doubt, but it just was... bland... there wasn’t that raw oh shit feeling I get out of my car sometimes. Not the “I fEeL cOnNeCtEd To My CaR” bs. But just a raw almost wild feeling in the car that the auto didn’t give.
I think if I was standing I front of both exactly like mine is now I’d still pick the manual.
I spent a few hours in it, tried manual mode and drag mode and race and he showed how he roll races by taking out of manual when he floors it and stuff.Did you drive it in manual mode? The best thing is to have one of each
I can relate...I grabbed a '15 comp orange gt with 6 spd last year. Car was stashed for years cause it only had 742 miles. The gear ratios in the '15-'17 (I think thats the years) are more favorable than today's 6spd. There's vid on YouTube. Only change I made so far is the midpipe... Borla switchfire is do much better than stock.When I bought my car new in 15', I bought it because of the color mostly and the new s550 body style, updated interior, IRS, etc. I had a SRT8 Charger that was obviously an auto and I loved it with the autostick. That car was highly modified and got totaled so I was looking for a new ride that wasn't a 4-door. I wasn't looking specifically to buy a stick shift car, but I fell in love with the color and this is what it came with. Now after driving it for 5 years and paying it off, I'm not going to sell it just to buy a newer A10 car. I still love my Comp Orange stick GT and will make it the show car I always wanted with FI. I'm sure rowing the gears with a SC will be challenging, but hey, the Man Trans is here to stay
Pretty sure you can change the ratios when ordering; at least you were able to on 15-17 modelsI can relate...I grabbed a '15 comp orange gt with 6 spd last year.

Rear end axle ratio yes, but not the internal transmission ratios.Pretty sure you can change the ratios when ordering; at least you were able to on 15-17 models
Keep your 18 and enjoy her...I don't think I'd trade an A10 for the m82...
I love the MT-82.. dunno why you guys harp on it so much. Yeah yeah I heard it all, learn to drive it properly, and you'll love it. Why do you think Porsche brought back the manual for 2020 haha.
