Some of you "roughriders" out there should know this. If you have two Mustang GT's 4.6 the same except one has a 5 speed and the other is automatic. Which one of them is going to pull the best? Automatic is stock and the 5 speed has had the exhaust (axle backs) changed to Cherry Bomb's, Steeda under drive pulley's, K&N CAI and short shifter installed. This is brother VS brother.

 

Stock for stock the 5spd as long as the guy can drive. With mods the 5spd should take it for sure.

 

I agree.

 

Hit the strip and find out!

 

5 speed.....unless he fumbles....

 

Put a decent convertor in that car & the 5 speed dude will have to know how to drive to win. IMHO

 

At this point I say 5 ftw

 

The new short shifter does make it easier going through the gears. It's a nice tight throw but 5th is a bit funky.

 

I'd say the standard, but really, they're not the same if the one's got some different parts installed. Advantage to the stick - if the auto had the parts it might be a little more interesting!!! Let us know how it all worked out!

 

If it ever stops raining down here long enough we can try these things out.
