I had the 4 speed auto in my 04 GT and I wasn't a fan of it at all. These newer 5 and 6 speeds are pretty nice though.

For sure on the technology! I've never felt an auto shift like this. I haven't taken her full throttle from standing yet. Just from a slow roll and then full throttle, it was amazing, but I think I felt some wheel hop? It felt like a tiny, tiny hop to the side when it shifted without losing any control, but also a cold road and tires hadn't been heated up.
