Anything is “100% doable.” It will just raise the price of the lower end cars. The Mustang lineup offers buyers a variety… from entry level performance that is basically cheap to supercar level performance for much more money. If you take the high end parts and move them to the lower end...
I guess I am the “dummy” since you are explaining this to me. By the way, I felt compelled to fix all the spelling, punctuation and grammar errors in your dummy-argument.
You own one, you drive one, you NAILED it!
I have a garage full of manual Mustangs. I love them… I do enjoy rowing gears. The DCT equipped 2020+ GT500 changes a lot of minds when one gets behind the wheel. This car would have been ruined with a manual.
I have 8 manual transmission Mustangs and...
Until you experience it first hand, you assume it operates and feels like any automatic transmission. You go by what you know. This one is different. Give it a try and you will see.

I know it can be cleaned, but the collector in me will do what I can to keep it from getting gunked-up in the first place.
Years down the road, paint can be reshot, but some of the soft parts in the interior will be a challenge to recreate. My 04 Mystichrome Terminator is an extreme example of...
Someone commented on my YouTube channel that Ford should offer this transmission in the rest of the Mustang lineup to include the GT and ecoboost Mustangs. I replied that it is too expensive of a tranny and would seriously drive up the price of the cheaper Mustangs. I had heard this thing costs...
Hell YES!
I too was a life-long manual only Mustang guy. My first experience with the DCT was in Vegas for the unveiling event (before the cars were sold to the public. It was in a car that is a twin to my CFTP… I was in the first group that went straight out onto the road course. With zero...
An old school good friend has owned a long list of manual transmission Mustangs to include a Terminator, a 2013 GT500 and now a 2019 GT350. I take him for a spirited run in the new GT500 CFTP and let him get behind the wheel to see what he thinks. I do a Drag Mode launch and a full braking...
If you use the thumb screws that I opted for, you’ll need to switch out the receiver nuts to what I used. A forum member told me he couldn’t get them to work with the metal nuts. Skip to 5:38 to see what I used.
I’ve hit some good bumps, at speed. It’s not an issue. I would not cut off what the engineers developed for this car. It’s a well engineered package.
Ahhh, that is part of the magneride shock, not to be cut off. I thought you were talking about something else.
Skip to 19:34 here and you’ll see what I’m talking about:
