Did you watch the video on the first page? Listen to the first minute.
"Hey you with the goofy smile on your face: feel like crying? Well go visit your local car dealership because they're all full of cars with teensy turbos and boring automatics. They're sold with some BS marketing spiel that pulling a shift paddle is an involving emotional experience. Right. Here's a big orange middle finger to that load. This Mustang has a big naturally aspirated V8, a six speed that you shift yourself and rear wheel drive like God intended."
Nobody wants a car like a GT350 in an automatic. They'd only sell out of necessity and driver incompetence, and even then, they'd be secretly embarrassed every time someone looked inside their window asking them why they bought an automatic, creating some mix of excuses about a long commute in stop and go traffic and something about drag strips that they never go to.
Who cares what Ferrari feels? Hardly anyone buys a Ferrari, those that do buy for the brand recognition and not performance because Corvettes outperform Ferrari's and they're notoriously poorly built. They've gone paddle shifter because a lot of the wealthy soulless businessmen that can afford them have a non-functioning left foot while driving. Dumbing down, yo. I'd take this Mustang over any Ferrari...unless, of course, the end game is I can just sell the Ferrari, get the Mustang and keep the rest
