Nice ride....I'm with you on the gear options for autos. I wish we could do 3:73 and auto which is a great combo.

I've always preferred a stick, but I had a pretty serious injury a little over a year ago and because of this, I need to replace my '05 GT (which only has 3,000 miles on it) and switch over to an automatic.

I wish Ford offered multiple axle ratios on the GT with an auto trans. An automatic with 3.73's would be nice.

Thanks for any info you can offer.

Yes auto, and it makes my '10 seem like a go-cart.

Don't worry, won't need gears in the auto, unlike '05-'10, the '11+ GT auto transmission has a much lower first gear than the manual.

In 1st gear, the 3.15:1 axle automatic, is equivalent to a manual with a 3.59:1 rear. This is because the gear ratios are closer in the manual now..
