If the handling wasnt too compromised, I may have got one for a change as I have had 2 T's in the past (SS-V at the moment). Instead, only the T is an option.No matter how good the tranny, its a manualI prefer in fast cars. Autos just dont cut it for me....Annoyed Ford - dont decide transmission types for your customers!The only Option left would be to Buy the F6 off FPV, I understand they are going to be still available in Manual. Now if I can only stretch the mortgage to cover a second one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To prove my point next time its raining go out and put your wipers on intermittent and set the rotating slider to the SLOWEST speed. With the vehicle STATIONARY count the number of seconds between wipes. (It's six seconds from memory - could be wrong though... ) Now drive up to 100km/h.... count the number of seconds between wipes.... you will see that it is a lot less than 6 seconds.OK I just tested this last night... at 60km/h, on the slowest intermittent speed, the wipers sweep every 6 seconds... when on the fastest intermittient speed, the wipers sweep every 3 seconds.Cheers.
