You guys just need more power, then you wont care auto or manual transmission.

Shakin66 · Oct 13, 2010

I have all the power I want... As a matter of fact I have no idea what "numbers" my car is putting out. I will never take it to the track or dyno for that matter. Its my old high school car and now that I am 40 it is what I dreamed of back in the day. I always had a c4 and even with the shift kit it isnt half as much fun as driving it today with the 6 speed.

glad we have a choice

I'm very happy with the Lentech AOD with 9.5 inch, higher stall speed torque converter. The 351 gets into the power band so fast.

Mine is my High School car and I'm just under 40.

They are both fun to drive, I have a six speed car, and the auto. Just saying, with excess power and the right converter the auto is a kick on the street.

Mine was my high school car too. It was my first car. Its finally how I always wished it was.

Same, know anyone looking for a Shelby? Mines on Ebay for a great price.

Selling the shelby? Any good reason? or is this one of those grown up decisions?

My high school car was a 73 pinto wagon (wish I still had it) I'm over 40 now and finally got the mustang I'm dreamed of back then. Well, it will be once I'm done restoring it.

lol, nope just dont drive it much so I dont see the reason to keep it. Only has 4400 miles after a yr owning it. Seems like a waste of space.

Ill just spend the money on my 65 and my shifter kart.

Seriously ? WTF ? Trying to decide to build the engine in mine. I got an offer for the shortblock, but not ready to pull it yet. Want numbers on the stocker, then maybe get stupid

How would a guy that owns a 65, and used to own a 125 shifter kart argue with this..lol

I cant say that i dont look at replacing my 05 GT with a Z06 or even base model vette for a DD at times. Not that i would even consider selling it, but the old lady would kick my ass if i ever considered selling the 65.

I might buy an older fox body notchback. Inexpensive and easy to do stuff to. Plus its not a mod motor, nothing against them but I have lots of windsor stuff.
