I felt the same way about the AOD before I got my MSP SSP. But after driving my 86 GT convertible (w/5speed) for 25 years, I kind of like not having to shift when driving the SSP to and from car shows. The performance does suffer though. The first owner of my SSP after auction swapped out the 2:73 gear set for 3:55s and that change helps a lot in the performance department. He also replaced the stock mufflers that were worn out (kept the 4 cats) with some stainless cherry bomb type mufflers (even hooked the ground straps to them) that may flow better than stock too. I was surprised to get 28 mpg going to and from car shows in WI last weekend. I usually get an average of 20 mpg around town here.
