A stick is the only way to go for a muscle car. My first muscle car was a '67 Mustang, which had a problematic transmission. The first thing I did was convert it to a 4 speed manual.

My '72 Dodge has a Tremec 5 speed manual heavy duty. It's a sweet shifter, indeed.



Former 2004 Holden Monaro / Pontiac GTO driver here. Six speed manual transmission, 5.7L LS1 engine. 2nd gear lockout disabled, high RPM range cam.

One of the best driving experiences of my life: a V8 and a manual transmission is a match made in heaven.


Yeah, not much feels as good as running up through the gears with a strong V8! I'll be sad when they finally ban those cars from the road.
