there is some give and take. when i had my type-r, it was all about redline and fast shifts to keep it within vtec otherwise i was dead in the water. but the car did everything right and the transmission was great so i was always finding enjoyment in that. with the mustang i don't have to go to redline and there is torque everywhere which is addictive... but the getrag isn't known for being slick and smooth like a honda transmission, so it can be frustrating when it starts to bitch.
