You don't need to be able to do that to have fun in a manual transmission. It's not about being a race car driver, manual transmissions make you feel like you're more connected to the car and give you more control. Learn how to drive one and give it a shot; I'm sure you'll like it better. Nate, I can't heel/toe shift either; my legs are too long.

I don't know how to do heel/toe shifting so I'm a complete failure :( Roush makes automatic trannys for their supercharged stangs, why not SVT for the rest of us? damnit. I'm not a race car driver, and neither are you, Chris!

You don't want an automatic in this type of car anyway :) Joe, I believe the only option for the GT500 is a 6-speed manual. You don't want an automatic in this type of car anyway :)

The torque is 510, not 310, and it is a 5.4-liter. Thanks again. Rob, thanks so much the comment and pointing out those typos. The torque is 510, not 310, and it is a 5.4-liter. Thanks again.

No modern day Mustang uses a 4.7 liter engine. Also the torque figure is surely vastly off. 310 lb-ft from a Supercharged 5.4 liter V8? The GT500 uses a cast iron 5.4 liter DOHC Supercharged V8.
