My dilema
Ok, I have a 2000 Gt that i thoroughly enjoy (see sig) but has recently been giving me problems (transmission crapping out for one) I also have a degenerative joint disease in my knees that makes using a clutch difficult at times and is only going to get worse. Ok, I have the opportunity to buy an automatic Mach 1 (2004, 15000 miles) for a really good price. So my question. What would you do?
Cheers for any feedback Cooper |
If you can afford it, then hell yes go for the Mach.
|
get rid of it while you can for the mach 1. with upgrades you can make that mach 1 auto really fly like a manual trans would.

Buy the mach...

Do it!, and you'll be happy resting your injured leg on the dead pedal.
|
if yer worried bout the auto making power to the wheels... a nicely built auto can out perform a stick...
If ya got the money If ya can spare the money If ya want it then why the heck not? |
Mach 1's have way more potential than GTs. Definitely go for it.

A high hp auto will always out do a high hp manual. Even for lower hp levels Id prefer auto over manual.

I was gonna say. Autos just lose more power to the wheels compared to a manual tranny.

If the stock clutch is too stiff and you still want to have the fun that stick provides, consider a hydraulic clutch kit. Also, clutches like the King Cobra reduce the pedal effort so combine the two and it can make the world of difference.

Really? You gotta love false advertising...

the mach is a much more satisfying iteration of the platform than the GT and it responds really well to even light modding. I'd jump on it in your shoes.
