Good choice your faster than the manuals.:cheers:;) Flame suit on for the manual guys that will be attacking soon.:D
I do know you love your automatic! :) :cheers:
A friend bugs me almost weekly to drag race, I might actually try it :p

(Incidentally, I can drive manual but over the years it started bothering my ankle. :( I admit I'm really enjoying the break!)

Do it. My wife started two years ago and now she's hooked. She races in the street wars at Atco. She is the only woman driver in a field of 32 cars. Street wars works like this. Fastest ET wins each week. They will have a run off at the end of the year and they will handicap the power adder cars. So the bolt on and stock guys have just as much chance at winning as a 100K car. Here is a video of her beating a very skilled bracket racer from last Friday. She ran 11.85@117 and move up two spots to 16th place. Which is real good considering all the power adder cars that run.

I went in wanting the V-6, but quickly found out you couldn't get the bells and whistles. I will say if Ford ever decides to offer the Twin Turbo V-6 from the 2017 Fusion to the Mustang,.....(I can only imagine what tuners could do with that engine)

I have a semi-related question: When men see women driving a V8 do they tend to assume the car belongs to her husband or boyfriend? Just curious. Thankfully no one has asked me that dumbass question :p
Guilty as charged!
Although I would never ask if it was hers. I know too many gals with fast cars, but my first thought is always, 'Is that her GT or her SO's.

Maybe I am a rarity but 1) I was never a 'Mustang enthusiast' (though I always loved fast cars and grew up with hot rodders), and 2) I would never consider anything other than a V8 (not a bashing on the other trims by any means).:shrug:
I recently saw another female pull up to the gas station in a TY GT by where I work, too, so we are out there. (On this forum, too)

However I did get the stupid 'Is it an automatic?' I feel a male would not have been asked that, even though plenty of males drive AT. (And?).:ninja:
I would assume the driver is the owner and I never assume that if it is lady driven that it is automatic. In fact I never have had either of those questions come into my mind!

Not trying to stereotype but this is my OBSERVATION so far.

Within a week, here is the breakdown of what I see:

4-5 V6's - mostly 18-25yr guys
8-10 EB's - split between 18-30yr women and 20-30yr guys
2-3 GT's - mostly 30+yr guys

Oddly enough, within the statistics of my observation, haha
Sorry, 30+ group!

I have to assume that us "experienced" people know that they want a V8 because we tried the others an now know better!

Yup, that's it!
