Manual or Automatic

Hi All

Have had my 350 for nearly 8 years now, the longest I've ever owned a car by a long way.. It's SUCH a good car and there's still nothing wrong with it at 60+k miles.

Am considering going to a 370 (even though I read I can't get the same stunning exhaust note as my stock 350!)

 

I can imagine the response I'll get from this question but was considering an auto for a couple of reasons;

- I've a classic mustang that has an auto box and love it

- you get torque multiplication with an auto box (I LOVE torque)

- flappy paddles ;)

 

So, wondered what the thoughts on the Auto were on the 370?????

 

And - do you get engine braking on the auto ( / torque converter lock-up) or, if going around a bend quickly and wanting to keep the back end nicely tucked in, will taking foot off the accelerator give some engine braking to the wheels.

 

Cheers all
