Default Re: Manual Cars

I have two manual vehicles, one that I chose to have as manual and one that I didn't.

Base model single cab Ranger's are manual only, I would have chosen an auto if available. The Ranger being the car I drive most, changing gears gets old sometimes. The narrow torque band means frequent changing too. Having said that, I taught myself how to heal-toe down shift in this car.

The Mustang I chose manual to experience the whole V8 manual thing. Nailing a heal-toe downshift in this car is addictive, I could listen to that induction note barking back into the cabin for hours on end. Likewise getting back onto the throttle after shifting up, sounds amazing.
