    The autos are faster, too. I almost got an auto this time but this car will likely get road raced eventually so I need the manual. (what I really need is an auto 5.0 for the 1320 and a Boss for the road course- then a divorce lawyer and a sponsor after that...)

    As far as the Boss v/s the GT you can't go wrong either way. If you can swing the extra 7-10 grand for the Boss I'd go for it. Besides the extra power and higher revs it has better suspension, bigger meats out back, awesome seats (that will find their way into my car), looks badass, and a lot of other subtle little things that escape me at the moment.

    I'm a gear slammer, gimme the stick. Any hooo Ford Racing is now offering the Boss Motor M-6007-M50B ($ 12K). Or for my buildup car get the Boss Shields M-6P07-M50B for $ 100. Im still on a waiting list to order if I want the Boss. As a matter of principle it is not really what it costs as much as who you want to give your money too. When I got my 08 Bullitt I went to Sunset (5k over) and to Bell (10k over) then to Sanderson where I bot mine at "MSRP" (same day). Since I have purcased 5 vehicles and taken 5 or so friends to purchase there, so that's who gets my money, not to mention that they sponsor Wildwest. Dave Kimmerle is a car guy and very supportive of the community, those other yahoos are run by automotive dealer groups and know jack about cars except to hustle them, when you buy from him your dollars stay right here. Gotta go, heading to Route 66, (have camcorder mounted in the 66 so should have some great ride vids and pix when I get back).

    The biggest reason the new 6spd auto is a brute and will take a lot of HP STOCK!
    How is 10.00 on a stock tranny with a stock converter?

    I love a stick and have drive several new ones. The auto is just a killer transmission!

    One other reason for the Boss is the Track Key.
