Some of the purists are complaining about that. But since the GT500 is primarily a drag race car with gobs of power, there is no argument that the automatic yields a much faster 1/4mile E.T.
I guess those who really want a 6 speed manual can go to the GT350 (526 horsepower) or the Bullitt (480 horsepower). Add boost to either if you like...it's readily available through the aftermarket.
For real world real street driving? Well, during one of our weekly trips to our favorite pool hall with I-5 in it's not unusual both lanes clogged, I looked over at Cindy and said; "Boy, I could use 500 horsepower right now." Sad but true...for most of the driving I do these days, even the lowly 315 horsepower of my '09 'Stang seldom gets used.
