im just 17 and child hood story really hits me cause im huge car nut always been a even bigger mustang nut ever since i got a ride in my uncles saleen and i orderd a 21 gt back in august got it in september and i love it i orderd the 10 speed cause i plan on drag racing at some point but sometimes i do find myself wishing i got a manual but either way its a lot fun its not like any of the older cool shit its fUN
ive only seen one black bullitt and it was a 07 its kinda been somewhat a dream mustang since then for me
is your saleen the black label?
i want a mach 1 or 13-14 boss so bad lol
same i really can appreciate the introductionWelcome to the forum Zero! I enjoyed your introduction. Just hope you didn't open a can of worms as there are a few threads debating the superiority and pure fun of driving a stick over an auto!
(this is a joke so no auto guys and gals should take offense).
somtimes i wish i did but i love what i have either way
Agreed! My mustang is my daily and while commuting in stop-n-go traffic, I just want to relax and de-stress on my way to/from the office, enjoy some good music on the radio or listen to NPR, and drop the top and enjoy the sunshine. Nothing about that daily experience requires a manual.
main reason i got my auto was so i could have mtn dew in my hand at all times and for drag racing
still a saleen is a saleen and i dont see many of them at all id love to have a saleen lol
Whoa, hold up guy....change is hard, even if going backwards, so let's take the retrograde one step at a time. Maybe a Jitterbug as a first step -Yeah, and the manual responses are typical too. More fun factor, more connected to the car etc... Both of those things are subjective. It's more fun to pay the same amount of money and buy a car that is slower, doesn't pull as hard etc.? Well, not to me it isn't. I test drove a manual GT before I bought my auto and the manual isn't in the auto's league. The auto is more fun to me because it has far superior performance. I feel plenty connected to the car without having to push a clutch in and out and move a stick. Like I said in my first post, I used to be a diehard manual guy but that was when they were the better performers. When that script flipped and favored the autos, I came on in to the modern world and embraced that. Tell you what, present day manaul diehards, why don't you boys just go all the way with this thing. First of all, get rid of your cell phones and go back to having just a home phone and make SURE it is a rotary dial. Why? Because real men rotary dial boys! You will be more involved in the call. It will be more fun and engaging to rotary dial. You'll feel more connected to the person you are calling when you put that effort in to twirl that thing! And, go back to a 4:3 picture tube TV with no remote control. Why? Because who needs high def anyway? Older is better! And, when you get up and turn that dial to find a channel you will feel more connected to the program you are watching. It will be more fun as you engage more with your T.V. Finally, get rid of your microwaves. Real men don't NUKE! They bake or broil their TV dinners slower for that full 40 min. They just taste better when you manual cook the old fashioned way.
That is why I don't even bother with a response (except this one). Autos have been around since the 1940s?? They are not going away and are actually at their height of refinement if you get a dual clutch one such as Porsche's PDK. Besides the whole thing is moot in a few years. Everyone will be asking "Why did you choose an EV with paddle regenerating braking (and why I chose one without)."Yeah, and the manual responses are typical too.

Typical response from an "Auto" guy, "I drove manuals all my life, but...."Yeah, and the manual responses are typical too. More fun factor, more connected to the car etc...
