I test drove a 2013 Buick Regal Turbo Auto and it would only let me go so high in gears- as low as 1k rpms, while my Mustang handle 600rpms and pulls fine- but I choose the gear. FYI, the Regal has 20+ more ft-lbs of torque...
Yes I do have the select shift gear thing (gears 1, 2, 3, and D4). In what way does it help? Do you actually get better MPG from using the manual shift gears?

And I love your taste. I'm rebuilding a 66 mustang right now and I'm a big fan of the mustang marque.
