You are thinking with a "straight line performance" mentality. In that case yes an auto would be faster. But this car is not and was never intended for straight line performance, so no an auto would not be faster around a circuit.Okay, fire away, I'm gonna take a few gut punches for the following comment, but why no performance automatic for the halo Mustang? With a good 7-8 speed torque converter trans (like the new Corvette), or a dual-clutch trans, this will smoke the M4, Corvette, and possibly the 911 (especially if those weight numbers have any truth to them).
Manual transmissions are for fun, not speed. I have manuals, and I love them too, but for a car to be the fastest it can, it must have an automatic nowadays.
Even with the manual, I do love this car! Good job Ford!:ford:
