It's really not THAT bad. The TR6060 is definitely superior, but the MT82 isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Lol if you say so. I had mine go out on me so I'll just say this, it's got great gearing while it works.. Ford cheaped out on the one major thing that really makes the car so good.

I never had an issue with my clutch on my 5.0, it shifted just as short as my camaro and it's got a lot less pressure against the pedal. Too bad the trans came to pieces behind it...

Calm down guys I was just joking about the mt82, although I probably wouldn't buy a new mustang because of it...

That Chinese tranny is garbage. But the gt500 doesn't have it so I guess that's a plus.

Beautiful car but $66,000.00 for a mustang, dam. That's over 2 x the price of a new 5.0, and $24,000.00 more than the Boss. I've seen 5.0s new for 28k, think of what you could do with the 5.0 for another 38k in mods

That interior is horrendous. And for $66k you're creeping into corvette territory...

Still better than the Camaro's tho IMO. But any argument on looks is totally objective

You really think the interior is horrendous, wow after owning a 2SS Camaro I would have to say you are WRONG.

Not hideous, but a poor layout and not very comfortable. Look at the picture posted. That steering wheel is practically sitting in his lap. It's something that I did not like about the mustang along with the cramped cabin.

Either way at what both cars cost now, I think both need interior improvement
