So the 5 speed swap would be meaningless. I mean my 4 speed auto is faster than my friends 5 speed and we have the same v6's and he has a flowmaster. __________________ 302 h/c/i

But a beefed up and tuned auto has somethign a 5 speed doesn't. Consitency, less room for error. Manuals really only get the edge in open track, autoX, drift, so on and so on. It's drag where an auto can surprise you.

Personally no matter the cost i would swap it out for a 5speed just because i like to shift gears and i feel like it puts me more in control of the car. I will never own another auto trans. My stang has a 5speed and i love it. Its basically just a personal preference though. but if you look at the guys that have big hemi cars, most of them are auto and you would have to have some serious hp to beat one. Just my opinion though. __________________ 2006 Mustang Coupe 4.0 V6

you'd pay over $1,000 just so you can move your hand back and forth...

basically just next time buy a manual. not much else to say

Ummm, your joking right? You sure about this? This is not humanly possible for the same car to have a 15k price difference.

Yes i would pay to do the swap, but i wouldnt think of it as crazy, i would think of it as MODIFICATION hehe. Have you ever owned a 5 speed chris?

I'm thinkin bout doin the auto to manual swap. It would be cheaper than just buying a 5 speed unless if I bought a fox body or another older sixer.

if your tryin to be funny....your laugh will stop here cause my car is manual...ever since i was 16 ive had manual... soo yea i have and DO own a 5speed...i like it 10x more then auto doesnt mean i'd ever swap it though if i had auto.

and for the guy who start this thread and sed it'd be 15k more for 5speed...idk if you were drunk when you heard that but there no way in hell a dealership would ever say that...maybe ferrari. but never ford
