Paddle shifters are fine, but unless those paddles are connected to a proper dual-clutch transmissions(DCT). Simply having paddle-shifters on a regular style 4/5/6/8/10 speed automatic is merely a gimmick.
Neither Ford nor GM has any such DCT capable of performance V8 usage, so they did the joint venture for the conventional 10 speed auto (GM-10Lxx).
