> [@smokeyburnouts](#): > > ya. im not faulting Ford for that. i just wanted to bring it up, cause it noticed similarities. Ford markets the car more to the general crowd, lower price, more practical. while the LS1s r more for a specific crowd. regardless, in this case i think “street cred” does mean alot, in terms of bragging right of performance. but in the overall picture (sales / $$) Ford has a good stance on what they r trying to do. at least ford doesnt offer thier “higher end” performance models to come with an auto transmission. they still leave them to be sporty in that aspect. for example, the Cobra, Saleen and Ford GT cannot be purchased, ordered, whatever with an auto transmission from the factory ---

i dont feel like breaking it, and i would NEVER make it an auto cause i think its more fun to drive as a 5spd. if i was competing for something, yes id make it an auto. but to go to test and tune 1 or 2 times a year,. i could care less what my times are. ---
