With modern automatic transmissions having evolved to deliver quicker shifts than manuals, choosing your gearbox has never been more difficult for certain drivers. That is especially true for, say, those who wish to daily drive their muscle cars, but will also engage in racing every now and then. Well, the drivers of the Mustang GT and Camaro SS in the adventure we have here certainly knew what they wanted and it involved a third pedal.

Well, this rendering is here to fix that.
