Saw this on their Facebook page yesterday. HPJ Performance (no affiliation) is doing 6 speed (T56) manual conversions for the 2020+ GT500. I'm sure it will be a 50/50 split on the 'WHY?!?' and the 'About damn time!!' crowds. No idea on the pricing, and their website hasn't been updated for it yet.

Ford should offer the GT500 with a manual option. Iā€™m sure a lot of people would go that route.

Yeah.....I'll pass. I love rowing gears, but this DCT is just to dam sweat to give up. Shifts in a blink, no issues.....and yeah, making passes ? Oh my!

The DCT was a primary reason I was interested in the current GT500....

Canā€™t wait for GT 5.0 guys to weigh in.
I will oblige ... lol

I don't get it, it would be like marrying a supermodel and then paying extra to have her tits removed and a cock stitched on ?

Na, they already have one. They bolt a whipple on their 5 liters and with a few other mods kick the asses of any GT500 guys, or so they say.

I can see the higher HP drag cars maybe doing it if they're worried about grenading the DCT, being passed it's max hp & torque specs. Other than that, i'm not sure if the cost would be worth the benefit.
