I've NEVER owned an automatic Musclecar.
Every single Musclecar I've ever owned has been a 4 speed. Frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way. My Musclecars are all weekend cruisers. I don't drive them to work so I never really sit in traffic. Honestly, I just can't ever see driving an automatic.
Do this, drive that V8 Musclecar with a 4 speed. Don't listen to the radio, don't talk, wind it out, downshift a few times and listen to the exhaust. Hear that brum, brum. brum, pop, pop, pop when you downshift coming up to a curve, and then listen again as you wind out the gears coming out of that curve. Trust me, you'll never look at an automatic again.
I'll probably ruffle some feathers with this statement but in my opinion, unless your Musclecar sees regular track time it has no business being an automatic.
