"Bro" posted they bought their hubby a GT. I suspect Cucuru was smarter than we thought.

The PP springs are stiffer for track applications. Magnaride helps some but IMO the base still rides better for a DD. And yes, I drove both.

I thought the same thing. There definitely is a similarly.

So, there is no performance difference between the base and PP cars other than suspension. Both are equally fast and have the same tune. If you are daily driving the car, the base will ride more comfortably. Just so you know, the quiet mode on the active exhaust isn't a ton more quiet on...

Well, we have a whole other thread going right now about manual vs auto. Both have pros and cons and it comes down to driver preference. To me 48K sounds a little high for a car with 14k miles on it. Does it have magnaride? If that car doesn't have active exhaust, then I assume it's a PP base...

Spot on. It really doesn't need to be more complicated that this. 👍🏻

I can't imagine there is much practical difference while driving though. Its not like the factory GT vent is overly restrictive or something. But I do like the looks of the Shelby vent.

Yes, and then I confirmed the Blackwing was the only V8 manual in the same paragraph. Reading is hard I guess.

There you have it. Autos are better incase you need to draw on a Tesla mob looking to steal your GT. The things you don't factor into transmission choices could kill you.

The weird thing is, in the posts just before that they said they got the Auto because it's faster than the manual and they wanted "the raw power". Now the car is just a tool to transport family and they don't race or track or do burnouts. 🤷‍♂️

That makes sense. Interesting explanation for the problem your having. Let us know if the stock tires fix the issue.

You are the exception not the rule.

"the Blackwing is the only American V8 manual left now that the Camaro is gone." Reading is hard I guess.

Re-read my post sir. I literally said that.

Well Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, and Subaru all make two door manuals, as well as exotics like Porche, Lotus, and Astin Martin. But yes, I believe the Blackwing is the only American V8 manual left now that the Camaro is gone.

That's understandable. Its one of the few V8s left that are available in manual.

Both have pros and cons. It really depends in how and where you plan on driving the car. The auto is faster in every application, and much more comfortable to drive. Manuals are coveted by purists and more fun to drive on the twisties. I have owned both. My last Mustang was a 6 speed Tremec...

You must have had flawless judgment and character at 15. I wish we were all that perfect back then.

100% agree.
