When I bought my 2016 Corvette I bought the automatic because I thought I wanted the paddle shifters, and for an automatic slush box they worked very well.It was truly a sport setup in that the shifts were near instaneous (though not quite as fast as a dual clutch), and they were firm. It also had a neat feature  where you held the downshift paddle, and the transmission would immediately drop to the lowest usable gear so you could immediately hammer the throttle and takeoff. It also rapidly learned how you used the system, so it would anticipate what you were looking for in terms of shift points.I was expecting a similarly sporty setup in the raptor, but it just wasn’t to be. When rapidly downshifting through multiple gears, it takes what feels like an eternity to make its way to the selected gear. Same thing for upshifting. It’s easy to bounce off the ref limiter on upshifts because the system just doesn’t process and select gears fast enough for spirited driving. Ford really dropped the ball here, which is surprising because the 2016 Taurus SHO I used to own worked very well when paddle shifting</blockquote>
