Anyone have a new edge gt with an auto trans? How does it run? Was looking at one and I prefer a stick.

i never owned one but drove a few and i really liked the feel on them. def get a stick you can actually feel how much power is wasted with an auto. The only thing i dont like about any of the new cars is the weight but you wont regret it.. Def talk to mr. viper ed he dd one for a while

Wifey has a friend with an '06 auto. Yes, it's a girl. :cutie:

Anyway, her old man took me for a ride in it. There's so much slop in that tranny, it seems like time stops for a few seconds between shifts. I don't know if that much can be tuned out of them or if somebody has a decent shift-kit out yet for that 5-speed auto???

I'd wait for a stick if it was me. :rolleyes:

Thanks for info.

I am confused. Are you asking about a new edge GT (99-04) or a S197 (05+)? Your title reads 2005 GT but you are asking about a new edge. :confuse:

yea i was confused too. New Edge = 99 to 04.

i have a friend with an 05 auto it only runs 12.2? so i would say the tranny works ok, they are quiker than sticks but not as much fun.

New edge to me is the s197. 94-04 is sn95. I am asking about 05 up with auto trans. I mean I heard the tranny's can be built hella strong but is it really worth it vs a 5spd.

You were born confused. :rofl:

The 5R55S is a good tranny, a good tuner can do a good bit with them! Where it becomes an issue is in high hp applications. There is aftermarket support for them but they have a long way to go...

Just thinking of an 11 sec daily driver or something.

How about these 4R70W's Lou? You ever hear of a lotta' trouble with them?..

I haven't....yet.

I regret buying an automatic so bad :worried:

Could get a good rebuild and stall converter would wake it up alot. Good as in the high end clutches. Converters are the pricey part for an aod/4r70

[pRojekt02GT]

Yeah..I looked into a few things like a shift kit, shifter, and so on..I still never did figure out of 97Lasered's shift kit out of his 97 v6 auto tranny would have worked in mine...:dunno:

well you cant say that...it is was it is. sn95= 95-98 NewEdge= 99-04 and S197=05-09 idk about the 2010. but either way. I have a 01 with a 4R70W and I wouldn't ever get a manual. a shift kit, valve body, stall, tuner, and gears and your set. LenTech auto does the 4R70W. not sloppy. just get a tuner and gears to stop the LITTLE hestitation*

As Troy mentioned we have a buddy that is running 12.2 at 111mph in his NA auto '05 GT. All he has is a tuner, headers, high flow X pipe, cat back, gears, CAI, converter, and a tuner. He just put cams in it and made some SICK new dyno numbers. It "should" be an 11 second NA car soon. I swore I'd never own an auto, but after seeing how well his runs, I would if it was an '05+ GT. I'd never own an auto '04 and older stang though.
