i definately agree with the idea that driving a 4-banger stick being harder then a mustang gt, i learned to drive a stick in my neighbors small kia truck , and then when i drove my cousins 03 Gt , it was like easy, i didn't even have to try that thing practically drives itself, and i drive an auto

I started out driving a manual when i was 16 (my moms VW superbeetle LOL). Every Car I owned was a manual shift. Until I got my first auto ( old beat up 86 monte carlo). I had to learn to drive an auto.. My next ride was my brand new 88 GMC truck (auto). Now I'm back to square with my mustang (manual) Gawd dang I missed shifting gears for too many years.

mine went to about 60K.... (shown below)

I put the blower on at 59,500 though

I had a bit of a tricky time with the extra torque as the car would buck on me a lot. But I got use to it
