yeah, I never really understood the plan of never offering a manual in the V8, its not like they offered the manual as a budget/cost savings option, they offered it as a sporty option, and offering a sportier version with the smaller weaker motor is just silly.
could you imagine if you could only get a manual mustang if you got the 4 cylinder, and all V8s only had a manual option? but I'm smelling what your stepping in, after three Lincoln autos in a row, there was no way I was going to get any less than three pedals when I was looking for my current car.
