Give me the auto.
For 2011 and after 412hp is plenty to play with. Now if the Boss could come in an auto I'd consider it.
Oh I turn 62 this year and saving for a new GT

DFV, I hear you there. I've been driving manual trans cars daily for over 12 years now and every once in awhile I have to drive an automatic (rental car, etc) and when I do, it feels really weird, like "Where's the third pedal?"..."I don't need to do anything but steer with my right hand?".

STICK! I wanted an auto, but all my friends said STICK. I'm having so much fun with the stick. Traffic is no problem. Bonus for me was I put a short shift in. "LOVE IT"

Manuals are able to be in the right gear for what is needed next where as the automatic is always a second or two behind. On another point. Autos are better for long trips? In my experience it the opposite. On long trips the car stays in 5th for hours at a time. Usually with the cruise control engaged. No shifting to do unless I need to get around something. Then its nice to have 3rd or 4th pre selected for the punch around.

Automatic. Because I like to hold wheel with two hands. Also I can put more attention to driving activity itself without minding the clutch pedal. Imo There is enought torgue in GT to handle the loss of dynamics created by automatic tranny
