How order holders are optioning their 2024 Mustangs -- electronic drift brake, transmission, packages, paint colors (take rates)

It’s not about the skill being useless or not, it’s how much more fun it is. But only us people that can drive a stick know what it’s like. We understand that those that can’t are missing out and that’s ok.

It's describing not driving stick as "missing out" that's the issue, implying that one is better than the other (I know it's not intentional, but it does come across as pretentious). Driving stick is not required to own a Mustang and you can have plenty of fun without it.

But yes, I agree, to each his/her own.

I'm 57, about to turn 58 this year. I've owned Mustangs since I was 18 yrs old and all were manuals. Until my 2020 GT500 I had never owned a Mustang with an automatic transmission. When I traded the car I bought a 2022 FJG Mach1 with the Tremec 6 speed. was it fun to drive...yes. But, I have a neuromuscular condition and it affects my left leg worse causing fatigue holding the clutch in during stop and go traffic. So, as much as I love a manual car I opted for the automatic.

But only us people that can drive a stick know what it’s like to take loss after loss from not only faster cars, but even much slower cars like newer kia’s and Hyundai’s

If by "missing out" you mean missing out on driving manual is stop and go Los Angeles traffic and busy streets then I guess I will be missing out since I got an A10.

i knew it was a good idea to bail on Blue Ember, i mainly did it due to the abundance of blue and save a bit of money, but its a little extra bonus that now i'm not part of the 39% of dark horses that are that color

It's inevitable, new color on a first year generation model change.

Especially, as it is "Exclusive" to the Dark Horse. Not to mention, Ford reps mentioned Blue Ember in just about every discussion about the Dark Horse.

I bought my first car in 1970 and it was stick. I learned to drive it on the way home. The car was an old Volvo I bought for $160 and I couldn’t find an automatic in my price range. I just ordered a DH with auto. Faster and less tiring than a stick in stop and go traffic.
