The A6 in the mustang is always faster vs. M6. There are owners here that have run 12.4x -12.5x @113-115mph in the A6.I know the dual-clutch transmissions (and the one in the Corvette) are quicker than their manual counterparts, but I didn't think that the slushbox in the Mustang was anything special.
Interesting, I didn't know that.The A6 in the mustang is always faster vs. M6. There are owners here that have run 12.4x -12.5x @113-115mph in the A6.
I have only seen one M6 run 12.5.
It does...the stock Pirelli tires are garbage, especially at 235.good read, I agree with some of the comments regarding changing up the rubber on the non PP. That would make a big difference.
I think it's that the Auto is very reliable and very efficient for not being a DCT and the Manual MT-82 is not that great of a transmission overall.I know the dual-clutch transmissions (and the one in the Corvette) are quicker than their manual counterparts, but I didn't think that the slushbox in the Mustang was anything special.
Agreed. The difference is meaningless unless you are competitively drag racing. Otherwise, for many a manual makes sense in what is a drivers car (unless other reasons make an automatic better like significant other who cant drive stick needing to drive car). We will have plenty of soulless fast cars in the future with the move to electric torque and increased automation. It's driver involvement and sensory involvement that is going to be difficult to get.since i don't live my life 1/4 mile at a time, a few tenths of a second mean nothing to me. I want a clutch pedal and a stick shift because i want to control the car, not just be a mindless lemming following the car in front of me.
It isn't. I believe the manual an extra shifts to 60 (perhaps two Vs the 3.31) and perhaps an extra one to the quarter as well. Regardless, for drag racing the autos are the way to go. The difference will widen with the 10 speeds.I know the dual-clutch transmissions (and the one in the Corvette) are quicker than their manual counterparts, but I didn't think that the slushbox in the Mustang was anything special.
The Performance Package is not available on automatic-equipped Mustang GTs. In standard GT form, our loaner had asymmetrical all-season tires, four-piston front calipers, 352 mm rotors and a 3.15 final drive ratio.
Well I guess I'm wrong...when building online too the only options are 3.15 and 3.55 gears. Maybe they changed the option?Mine is
