  • It is an amazing time to be a Mustang enthusiast. Despite the rest of the muscle cars leaving the playground, the Mustang comes out swinging. And in purchasing your new Mustang, the decision between manual and automatic has never been more difficult. Gone are the days of when a manual transmission-equipped car would put bus lengths on an old school-automatic overdrive car. Now-a-days, it's actually quite the opposite! Watch along where I break it down on which transmission is the right choice for you in your 2024 S650 (or earlier S550) Mustang!

    I went with the manual on my 2024 GT. I’ve always had automatic, and I’ve driven mustangs for years. But I was finally at a point in life where I could basically get any Mustang I wanted, and I actually did order the Dark Horse but then changed my mind to GT because I really wanted red seats and no vinyl decals. And despite living in SoCal where traffic often sucks, I wanted the manual to really get the full experience. I don’t race and I’m never going to need to go extremely fast on the freeways here, so the faster auto isn’t important to me. I have zero regrets about my transmission choice. I have a blast driving every day in an awesome car that sounds incredible, and even more so because it’s a manual and has active exhaust.

    For me, I'm looking at the Auto mainly because of the where I live in. The metro Detroit area is so congested and 99% of my driving is city. We have a manual GTI for when I get the urge to "be one with the car"...I think the new autos are "more" engaging than the past so it's a smaller trade-off.

    Good information Chris! I came out of a 350R which I tracked and I never thought I would enjoy driving an automatic. I have a 2023 A10 Mach 1 with the handling package and it flies around Willow Springs. Upshifting, downshifting, it always keeps you in the right gear. I did back to back sessions without any overheating problems. They are both awesome cars!

    • @therealcervenka
      @therealcervenka  6 месяцев назад +1

      The cooling on the A10 Mach 1s is definitely improved over a standard GT! I was happy to see they beefed it up and offered the additional cooling for those that wanted autos. I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying it! Handling Pack cars are no joke!

    I agree that the purest will love the 6 spd manual. I was born the year the Mustang was introduced so, at 60 yrs old, I wanted the GT Premium that I bought with the 6 spd. I had an '07 GT convertible 5 spd but, regrettably let it go after 6yrs and 189k miles. Best car I ever owned........ Until now. For me, it's not about the speed, it's about the FUN!

    In my opinion, adding huge power to a manual Mustang is the safer option. The 10R80 is junk at power levels over 700whp. I'm sure a few factory freaks can handle it, but it is a seriously flawed transmission, and it's easier to build the MT82 to handle that power than build the 10R80 to handle that power.

    My next might wind up being an automatic. One positive note, but kind of twisted, this car due to it's slow manual trans will keep me from street racing which is a good thing considering how congested my area is. I refuse to race on highways with drivers who make random unexpected turns, pedestrians and police.

      It did use to be a thing where people judge you for not driving manual.
      These cars progress and now it is about who is quicker off the line, track and drag and Mexico.

    If you want to go fast in a straight line, then as Dodge says, NEVER LIFT. Which brings me to my point - the Mustang is made for a manual. If I wanted a fast auto where I could pull it up to the tree and hammer down on green - give me the HEMI every time. It just screams drag racing. Not the Mustang.

      The MT-82 isn’t terrible. And with the right aftermarket shifter, it can be a pretty great combo. As long as you’re smart behind the wheel, there’s nothing wrong with learning the manual on the Mustang. Just have to be a responsible driver 😄

    Great content chris! I just bought a 2024 gt pp with the a10. So far i love it but i havent had a chance to track or autox it yet. Whats been your experiance. Is there any speed advantage to the a10 on the track and in autox?? I know in my previous 2019 pp1 manual i found myself going too fast for first but to slow for second at alot of events and im hoping i can resolve that with the a10.

    • @therealcervenka
      @therealcervenka  6 месяцев назад

      Congrats! For autocross, the A10 has gotten a ton of improvement. I was super impressed with the EcoBoost A10 in that environment. But I’d still choose the manual hands down to be 100% competitive in an autocross setting. As for track, take your pick. It’s tuned very well for track use now, and the Dark Horse has sufficient cooling for the A10 for most drivers. Hope that helps!

    My biggest issue with the S650 is that I HATE that rear end. My second issue with it is that if you don't want the Active Exhaust, you don't get the quad Exhaust. I hate how they make you choose.

    It's crazy to me because I have a 2017 Manual and it feels faster than a 12 but it is a low 12 the way I drive her.. But anyway they feel like an 11 second to me but it is what it is.. I find most PPL today can't even drive a manual and that is the really sad part about it all.. I think the Tech and advancement in the auto DCT's are great but it's making it so no one will want manuals at all.. Like you when i was a kid all we drove were manual's because of how bad the auto's were..

    • @therealcervenka
      @therealcervenka  6 месяцев назад

      100%! There’s still an art to it. No matter how many features you add to a manual, it still requires a little bit of skill to drive well/fast.
      Do you have a tune on your 17? My 11 GT honestly felt quicker than my 15 did. Then again, it was tuned.

    real talk...... when is 1 second considerably quicker??? On perfect track conditions and settings and equal drivers.... a lot goes into it. There is always someone "quicker" always someone that has managed to get more horsepower!!! I think get what "you" can afford and what you like. IMO a real driving enthusiast and a true sports car experience leans towards a manual! Just my opinion. You will never be content if your worried about someone being a second quicker or producing more horespower. Its an endless cycle
