I'm currently starting the order process of a new GT... and it got me wondering... yes i know an auto mustang is well.... just lacking something (so i'm told and of course i know it's right), but i've never driven manuals before (i did test drive a GT manual the other day, and made it around just fine, but not very fast, however, i'm proud to say i didn't kill it untill i stopped & tried to park it.)
I'm used to driving my V6 automatic in the snow... and well... snow is a big issue where i live. We have about 4' of snow from december till april every year here. My dad is swearing that i will have a really hard time with a manual v8 in the snow and wants me to get an auto again, but someone else told me that they are actually better in the snow... so which is it? Am i going to have a hell of a time with that much new power and learning to drive a manual in the dead of winter, or will i eventually survive and be happy that i went with it?
If someone can give me some hard evidence either way i would love it! thanks!
