[@ironhand453]

@@asvpxalex If you love to drive a manual over an auto then I would recomend getting the manual. Any transmission can fail if you push it hard. Even some 10 speed autos have had failures on the mustang when they were pushed hard. It is part of the pay to play rules. If you feel the transmission bind and not want to go into a gear, don't jam it in anyways, that is how you blow up the gear. Just back out of the throttle and let the RPMs come down while you leave it in neutral untill the load is off the transmission. Once the load is off it will go into the gear smoothly and you won't have bent your forks or grenade the gear. If you plan on tracking the car spend the money on a aftermarket transmission brace and that will keep the trans from binding under high load. If you are still worried about the getrag in the GT buy the Mach 1 it comes with a Tremic transmission. I have a 2019 Bullitt and love driving it. The transmission has not had any problems in the 34 Months of ownership.

[@BSchoon55]

I have a 2018 GT PP1 with the MT-82... I have to say Topher is VERY good with a manual in all of his videos. This car is pretty tricky man, at least mine is... the MT-82 is not a good friend to enthusiasts at times. Man at @12:30 , that's about the time the trans feels like it's about to come through the floorboard LOL. Topher is one hell of a driver man.

[@SpeedSeekerMoto]

I have a 17 gt pp1 and I have found once you get heat into the transmission it becomes much better. I baby it till its heated up. Which is typically when you will see LC is ready cause your drivetrain is all nice and warmed up then you can romp on it and with a little man handling it is super good feeling, almost perfect. If I try to shift with too little of throttle between gears you can still get those very notchy shifts but if you drive it the way it wants to be drove with heat in the drivetrain it feels great. I will be getting a short throw kit in the near future and im sure that will make it much better.

You’re the king of curbing every car your review.

[@MrNorotic]

It goes up to speed so quick that you can never really redline through all the gears without going too fast. That's great for track driving but kind makes you always feel like theres not enough road for fun on the street. Used to own a 6th gen civic si which was unfortunately somewhat slow but, because it was slow I could enjoy pretending like I was racecar driver, redlining to a screaming 8000+ rpm all the way to 5th gear while still under 120mph. Super fun. It was straight piped with a takimoto resonator. 99% of civics I have ever heard sound like dogshit but, I guess the resonator made a huge difference. It sounded like pissed off super bike. It was the most orgasmic shit to just bang through gears with the windows down.

I am currently driving my 3rd Mustang GT that I have owned, a 21’ GT PP1 6 speed in Oxford White with that Showstopper red interior. I have also had a Gen 6 Camaro SS and and C6 Z06, an 07’ in Lemans Blue. So I’ve owned a handful of American Modern V8’s. As I said, currently driving my 3rd GT. There is a reason why I keep coming back to it. The Camaro SS was a great car with more torque down low. The Z was an absolute monster with that LS7, 505 HP and only weighed 3100 lbs. a beast! However , for performace and day in day out drive ability with modern tech and convenience. The Stang beats the SS and the Z06. Not to mention, the S550 18’ forward with the Active Exhaust is the best sounding car under $100k that you can buy new today. Name a car that’s sounds better and revs this high for under $100k. You can’t. This is a legendary Mustang…

[@jked7463]

I have a 2016 convertible. The last thing I would want is the performance pack. The chassis is floppy enough with convertible. The stiffer springs would only stress the chassis and fatigue the steel over time, making it even floppier. The v6 has the softest springs so the chassis will be less fatigued. And it still is very composed around corners. It is a fun car. I drove the competition pack. With the stiffer springs, it was all over the place. The softer springs in the v6 actually is more composed and can take real world curves better because the suspension can get out of the way of the bumps.

The suspension is probably all over the place because it's a convertible of a car that has torsional rigidity of the body comparable to cars from 20 years ago in the coupe version, so cutting the roof off probably makes it as flimsy as a wet noodle, so they had to make the suspension soft and dampers kinda soft too.
