( www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! For a mid-$40,000 investment, you could pick up a brand-new 2024 Ford Mustang GT Fastback with a 486-horsepower V8 engine. But, if you're wanting some more bells and whistles, you could spend nearly $60,000 to get a fully loaded GT Premium -- and you can spec either with the 10-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual! But what are the differences in performance between the cheap and expensive, the manual and the automatic Mustang GTs today? Tommy and Kase find out in this drag race!

Axle ratio 3:15 for automatic vs 3.73 for the manual is moot in modern 6..7..8..9..10 speed automatics when you compare it to a manual,,as the gear ratio in the transmission for 1st gear in automatics is lower than the the 6 speed manual thus eliminating the rear axle ratio by tenfold. 6 speed transmission 1st gear ratio is 3.25 10 speed transmission 1st gear ratio is 4.70 You would need a axle ratio of 4.73's in the manual to be side by side the 10 speed automatic!! Most people are lost on this!

@barrydraper 10 дней назад

Same thing is true with the Camaro SS and ZL1 lineup. The 10-speed Auto is faster than the manual, with the same engine. You don't buy the manual for the best performance. You buy it for the engaging fun and in many cases the manual will be more reliable in the long run.

@skipgumphrey9579 9 дней назад

That might hold true for the versions (Mach I, Dark Horse, etc) that come with the Tremec transmission, but I would always assume the 10R80 automatic to be more reliable than the Getrag MT82 six speed manual transmission that comes in most Mustangs and GTs…

I have had a manual transmission car since 1977. My Corvettes and Porsches have all been manual except one each. If I get the new S650 it will be a commuter car in heavy traffic so I would definitely get the 10R80 automatic. When I desire to row my gears I will drive my other cars. I will set my Mustang up for quick acceleration so the 10R80 is fun. The new 7th generation Mustang also shifts better in manual mode than the S550. Spending an extra $4K in Mods will really make the Mustang quick.

As to possible differences in the engines I can speak from personal experience. My wife and got matching manual 98 V6s one time. They both felt really nice. Same trim level. The only difference was the exterior color. If I just drove mine, I never noticed any problems. If I drove hers the same day, hers felt just a bit better. Like the folks building it were in a better mood. We never raced because we never left at the same time so I don’t know if it was faster. Definite difference though.

@davidlopez991 9 дней назад

The reason that the automatic version of the Mustang does not have the final drive ratio of the manual is that automatics have something called a stator which mutiplys the torque produced which would in a manual would be compensated of by a lower numeric gear ratio in the differential.

@DWH300 9 дней назад

From the time I spent in an S650 premium Mustang GT. I didn't find it filled with plastic as you kept mentioning. The 10R80 is the transmission choice for drag racing plus the premium is a more comfortable daily driver with the heated and cooled seats along with other included options like it's tires and bigger brakes. It's possible the base car needs a computer upgrade which Ford recently completed via Wi-Fi. So instead of complaining. Take it to a dealership. The nice part about purchasing the base is you can add your own bolt on performance parts when you have the extra money to improve it. Quarter mile times. FYI. I recently priced a new charger RT wit a 5.7. Cloth seats without power. A terrible decade old interior that had a $60,000 price. That's higher than the higher equipped Mustang GT premium. I would take the Mustang any day of the week when it's about features and the Gen 4 Coyote V8. I think you guys would complain if you found a bag of $100 bills because one was wrinkled.

The mustangs have become more sportier in the sense that its an all rounder car

@GooglePixelGoogle 3 дня назад

The Mustang was never really a muscle car, it was a pony car. The muscle car was a midsized vehicle with a company's larger performance V8 engine, think GTO, Chevelle, Fairlane, Torino, and 442. The Camaro, Firebird, Cuda/Challenger (debateable), AMX, and Mustang were pony cars. The pony car is an American car classification for affordable, compact, highly styled coupés or convertibles with a "sporty" or performance-oriented image. Common characteristics include rear-wheel drive, a long hood, a short decklid, a wide range of options to individualize each car and use of mass-produced parts shared with other models. There is much debate among enthusiasts about the exact definition of a pony car, and what differentiates the vehicle from a muscle car. The general consensus is that pony cars are smaller and more refined than muscle cars. A few intermediate-size vehicles, such as the Dodge Challenger, may be considered to belong to both categories.

3.73 hasnt been a true aggressive gear ratio for years now in the gt. Need 4.10s on the 6 speed to get the most for a factory setup

Nothing old man about manual, it's a skill set and makes muscle cars fun to drive.

@anthonypratt4292 5 дней назад

There's nothing wrong with the 6 speed. The automatic is just faster. There's no let up in-between shift points

If you want a fast car, buy a corvette or an EV. If you want a fun car, buy a manual mustang or Miata (though you can have just as much fun in an older mustang for significantly less money).

@ggavin9934 7 дней назад

Auto vs manual = steering vs driving Auto is faster shifting BUT manual is more fun to drive.

@JKerr-iy2jr День назад

It’s just a mindless macho thing - it’s more fun to drive with a manual and the noise makes a better macho impression. P. T. Barnum said it best.

It's a shame Ford doesn't do a LX 5.0 style car like the Fox body of old. A stripped down version with the same HP...

The 6 speed manual Mustang GT will never beat a 10 speed automatic GT when both cars have a good launch no matter how good the driver is in the manual car. The automatic puts power down more efficiently and with less loss of momentum between each shift. The manual will always be more fun to drive though.

Proof that the 10 sp auto is awesome... and for a daily driver in a very high traffic city it is the way to go. I can´t wait to see the same comparison but on a track with twists... I bet here the performance pack car is going to kill the regular car.

@timleuliette899 10 дней назад

I'd like to see this same comparison of your New 2024 "grandpa spec" vs a 2018-23 of the same spec (V8 w/10R80). Show if it is worth the 47k price for new, over a used 2018-23 that could be picked up for around 30K. I think that would be a great comparison.

Interior quality alone, yes it’s worth it lol , I was looking at used 2022 and 23 with low mileage , still shakes and rattles and laggy radio , got the premium with the active exhaust and nite pony package , love it so far with 2k mileage

@timleuliette899 9 дней назад

@cormaro13 I'm looking at it from a performance perspective. I have a 2019 GTCS and I realize the build quality isn't great. But honestly, when I test drove a 2024, it was just as bad. Ford hasn't put any effort into addressing that aspect of the Mustang.

Magnaride breaks down after like 5 years and is so expensive to replace. Get the base model and modify it yourself.

@robsolf 9 дней назад

It's sad that manual vs. auto switched effectiveness in the late 2000's. It used to be so fun to have a manual hatchback in the 80-90's and line up against a muscle car slushbox of the same era, back in the day. From a dig or rolling, the muscle car would have a pretty pathetic showing. But these days you can have a reaction time of single digit milliseconds, shift perfectly, and you'll still be left in the dust. I would be curious about the cheapest auto GT vs. the fully loaded auto GT. Those additional goodies weigh down a car, pretty quick.

If you really want to embarrass the manual race the GT vs. the 4 cyl auto!! Manuals maybe be fun when you are alone on the road but not in traffic nor racing.
