Makes handbrake turns much more difficult.Electronic Emergency/Parking Brake:
Such a system would eliminate the need for the center console hand brake lever.

It's about fun/playful turns... Not fast ones.Don't need a handbrake to help a car make a turn if it's already a good handling car.

I think that's kinda funny. Just get the automatic!:headbonk:I would love it if it told you what gear you were in, and told you when to shift and what gear to shift into to...kind of like some Mazdas do.
No way. This is my first manual car so I am still learning the ropes but I am loving every second of itI think that's kinda funny. Just get the automatic!:headbonk:
I thought he was talking about an automatic but guess not from his response. Haven't driven an automatic built since '91 so didn't know if the dash displays the actual gear with an automatic.I think that's kinda funny. Just get the automatic!:headbonk:
Awesome. Just take your time, and practice like you would trying to learn any other skill. It'll become second nature. If you really want to know when you need to shift, throw an exhaust on it!No way. This is my first manual car so I am still learning the ropes but I am loving every second of it
I just remember when my girlfriend test drove the Miata, she mentioned how it tells you when to upshift and the best gear to upshift to. I thought that seemed like a fantastic idea. I wondered why more manual cars don't have it as at least an option that can be turned off or on.I thought he was talking about an automatic but guess not from his response.

For the manual, I guess Ford doesn't think many want a display when you can just glance at (or touch) the shifter to know what gear its in.
Oh it took me forever to get the clutch engagement point for this car, I've been told removing or replacing the spring in the clutch will make it much easier so I am thinking of doing that.Awesome.

I would think this is a harder car to learn on since the clutch engagement is hard to figure out constantly, especially if you have a GT. On the other hand, having so much torque makes it easier to get going!
