let me run a automatic 2002 GT with the same mods, and I will decimate you.
you have to be able to not roll back on hills with your 5 sp before you can ask this questionmustangkid05 said:what do you guys like better and why?....i like my 5 speed, because it seems alot faster then an auto, but i like autos for traffic and on hills and stuff like that

I don't want to be an ******* or anything, but making blanket statements like that pretty much ensures that you will be proven wrong sooner or later. Take my car, for example. 2001 GT with the 4R70W, mods and time are in my sig. I can scan and upload the timeslip if you need proof.
With all that being said, I still wish I had gotten a manual

430rwhp/450rwtq might have had a little something to do with that too, right?back_in_black said:Also, with the shift points managed by my chip my shifts are very crisp your head snaps back and the shift is very quick.

Don't be too sure of that. Stock for stock and even with a few minor bolt-ons between two cars, the 5-speed car is likely to still come out ahead (you are correct) because of the drive train loss and gear spacing associated with a stock auto, but a properly (rear end) geared 4R70W equipped car, with the J-mod tune, matched to a quality triple disk 3,500-4,000 stall converter would shut any 5-speed owner up in a hurry. At the track....on the street....whatever! Yes you’re right a converter and modified valve body is going to cost a little more than a good clutch and aftermarket shifter for a 5-speed car…..but when all is said and done, you’re also running faster and more consistently than the stick car after these improvements as well.thomas91169 said:let me run a automatic 2002 GT with the same mods, and i will decimate you. stock for stock auto's run slower, and until you mod the tranny(which costs more than slapping a short throw and good clutch on a manual and gains you less), there STILL isnt a benefit.
