Automatic Or Stick


I just wrote a thread about buying a V-6 or V-8 mustang, now that i have my answer i have another question. Should it be automatic or stick, i mean alot of people have a hate for an automatic stang, but i heard the transmission could hold more power and does "better" on the track according to one of my friends. What should i get guys?

hey who says that you can't do anything like that with a stick. Where I come from, we compromise. I am a perfectly good, in control driver when I drive and shift with my left hand. When you are forced in a position, you have to make the situation work
