First, the paddle shifters. I have them on my 2013 SHO. When you put the trans in Sport mode, it will shift itself or you can use the paddles. Sport mode is unbelievable.
I just drove through the Pig Tails, in the Black Hills a week ago. Using the paddles which are attached to the wheel rivals anything you can do with a stick. Upshifts and downshifts are instantaneous. Before you condemn, drive one. This is only my second auto in 45 years of driving. I am certain the Mustang will be tuned the same way, with a performance map. Also, don't underestimate the 3.5L Twin Turbo. It was designed to compete with a 7L V8. They have a lot of horsepower left in it. Tunes are already available to boost the current 365 hp. And. hopefully, they will have the My Ford Touch. This is also way above SYNC. You can control everything by voice, if you want to. I have been using it for 11 months, and really enjoy it. It is not as complicated as the magazines lead people to believe. With traffic the way it is today, sticks are not for everyone, and if you want an auto, this one is the way to go. Hopefully, it will see it's way to the Mustang with the 3.5L boosted to 400hp, and sold as the mid level entry,with the current 6 in the base car.

And as much as I'd love the 3.5 ecoboost in the Mustang I just don't think its very likely. There has been some pretty credible rumors that the 2.3 ecoboost will be an option. Then there's talk of GT350s and GT500s. The Mustang simply doesn't sell in high enough volumes to support that many engine choices.
