Is this guy for real, or this just a troll account?

Anyway, the black one on the main page looks sick.

Plus it's an A10, and thus is technical perfection . Plenty of Manual Men will be weeping at the sight of those taillights.

Man I been drooling over that black Mach 1 since I saw it yesterday. I don't care if it even has a transmission or not, looks amazing!

In other news, this thread is making me not want to raise my hand so much in the manual crowd, yeesh. Chose the M6 because it was my choice to make. Enjoying the hell out of it. Manual Man has co workers looking at me laughing.

Edit: Oh and manual would be my choice if it wasn't clear. Also proving this can be said without putting down the auto peeps. The A10 is also pretty damn awesome.

More pics coming soon.
It’s really cool to hear all the compliments on my car, pretty positive thread and I made headline news! Lol
And I think it’s so immature with the whole manual or bust attitude. Everyone has different reasons and circumstances.

Do you plan modding that beast in the near future?

Just little stuff for now.
I bought, White cue ball shifter form White Madness, Redline hood struts, Sonax CC36 Ceramic coating kit all-weather mustang floor mats.
I have appointment at local place in 2 weeks to get windows tinted, sub/amp installed and radar detector wired in.
Maybe an h-pipe later but it sounds pretty damn good from the factory!
That's about it for now

Another way I look at it, most of the guys here already know how to drive a manual. To me, that's a skill I learned and it won't ever go away. Driving an auto won't change that. I'm sure my left foot will look for a clutch a few times, but I'll get over it. If anyone wants to call you out for driving an automatic, ask them to let you borrow their manual and go for a drive.

Options are a good thing, but we all know the automatic transmission today is faster/better than a manual from a performance standpoint. If you can put all that aside and drive the car for the experience, manual all day long. The Tremec is probably leagues better than the MT-82. It took a lot of work to make my manual desirable.

Where’s that blue beast! I’m driving south today lol

I travel a lot for work and when away, I always make this huge mod list. Once I get home and drive it, I never buy the mods. It just feels perfect! I hope you enjoy the heck out of your car this summer, you'll be turning heads for sure!

My $0.02 worth is a vote for the manual, I'm old enough that I learned how to drive with a manual. For a daily driver I prefer auto's, but to have fun and cruise a bit I really really prefer the manual.

Garaged up for now. Rain coming in!

Cant we all just get along! Drive what you like...period.

Look on new M4 with 480 hp, it has manual, and the M4 Competition with 510 hp has 8-speed automatic At least you guys didn't have to make this kind of decision

Btw don't get your pricing, $75k for it in USA but €91k ($109k) in Germany or here, that's just nuts. Talk about being ripped off. I'm so glad I don't like its front fascia or engine sound

I taught some young woman to drive a stick in 30 minutes.

And what's your point? Just because you know how to drive, that doesn't mean you can drive well. Otherwise, every person with a driver license would be a racing driver. And driving a manual well definitely takes longer than an auto, and that's a fact. Another fact is modern autos shift quicker than a manual, but to most of us manual drivers, it doesn't matter.

Finally, what really irks me is Ford not having put a bleed valve on the damn slave cylinder on MT82s. Hope they did that with the TR3160.

My point was to answer the question which is better a stick or an automatic. I was replying to the response that driving a stick is too difficult.

Just because you drive an automatically, certainly doesn't mean you drive well either.

You ask ANYONE that has driven on black ice would they prefer an automatic where you don't control the spin of your wheels or a stick where you can pop it into neutral and take the engine out of the equation and see what they say. Your engine control is not even in the same ball park with an automatic.

I've been there and watched cars hit their break lights and spin out. I even watched are car make a right turn because they hit a dry patch on literally drive down an embankment.

Could you explain what prevents someone in the exact same situation with an auto from shifting it into neutral in the same amount of time?
