    Oh Roman. I'm pushing over 700 in my 17 supercharged Mustang GT manual. It's completely drivable. I've never had it get away from me, ever. I can get 25 mpg, and it's an absolute blast. This idea that a manual over 500hp is undriveable says more about you. Maybe you're more foot to the floor than I am. But I've got 3.73 gears, and I only break the back end loose when I want to. On stock width Yokohamas, no less. Lol

    Driving a Manual these days is a lost art.. I took my car to a car wash/detailer and every time the car need to be moved, they had to get the one guy they had out of 10 guys there work who could drive a manual!! Another time I went there to get it wash, I had to move it around from station to cleaning station in order for them to wash and wax my car for me.. When I was 16 years old I was driving Manual stake body trucks with 22 foot trailers behind them backing them up!! You can't find many 16 year olds' who can drive manuals let alone manual trucks with trailers on them these days.. Shyt I'm blown away by people who can't change flat tires, oil changes or their own brakes even.. And it is a theft deterrent for sure.. But the bottom line is I got the manual for the fun of it.. I didn't want the auto..

    The auto mustang might appeal to more buyers in general and make it resell quickly, but it's less appealing for enthusiasts and it will lose out on being sold at a premium to the enthusiasts who want a manual. Remember, it doesn't matter how many people want an auto, it only takes one person to buy the car.
    It's the same issue with colors. Drab grayscale colors are easier to sell in theory, but buyers can just pick the lowest offer on the several thousand in that color. Get something bright and loud like green or red, less people will be interested but theres going to be someone REALLY excited to have that red and they'll have to come to you and your price point.

      I prefer what Ram did in 2019, with real analog gauges and a customizable screen in between the gauges as well as a very clear high res 8” screen set lower in the center of the dash outside of the driver’s view (not distracting) but surrounded by physical switches and knobs for everything. I added a phone cradle beside the steering wheel for GPS/map directions so I didn’t have to look over to the screen while driving.
      Screens can be good if done right, but replacing everything with screens defeats the idea of keeping your eyes on the road and using tactile feel and memory to change things while driving.

Meanwhile Type R you'll pay $50k and at this time 8% interest. You can do the math but a few hundred month different in pricing.

      Today is easier to find a CTR at MSRP than months ago. The average is $5K according to a tracking site that lists the inventory.
      What these reviewers will never tell you is that the only 2024 mustang that out handles CTR is the Dark Horse with the handling pkg. That costs a LOT more than a CTR.
      The GT Premium with performance pkg and magneride is in the 55K without any other addon. That comes close to a CTR but isn't better. Even the Integra Type S is cheaper.
      In other words. The GT base is a cool car if you only care to smash the gas pedal to the floor occasionally in straight roads.
      If you want to take curvy roads with confidence and speed you will have to pay more.

      @@Marbindwho cares lol. The CTR’s handling only shines in a track, and 95% of owners will never take it to a track, and of the 5% who do, it comes down to experience which 99.9% of them are average at best drivers. The point is buying a CTR because if it’s “handling” is just plain stupid. So many cars handle well enough in stock form to make someone giggidy while driving, and if they want more, suspension is easy to purchase and install. The Mustang GT is the better all-around sports car because it has the power and handling. Power isn’t everything, but it definitely is something, and that’s where the CTR sucks.
      For you to think a Mustang GT can’t handle and bring out a ton of laughter and smiles in curvy roads, is just plain dumb on your end. It basically shows your lack of driving skill…
