Manuals are getting harder to find now a days. When my Hon bought Her new BMW 6 spd a few yrs back, it had to be special ordered from across the pond.I enjoy shifting my Boss...I'm glad Ford only offered a manual with the Boss.....The new GT500 is just the opposite.....Among the many reasons for auto's....Lots of folks don't have a clue how to drive a stick or don't want to be bothered...lower manufacturing costs for car makers and now the newer 8/10 spd autos are faster than you can shift...but the fun factor of shifting can never be replaced.....IMHO......................................
