The 2015-17 cars were the same way. I think the camaro has better shift strategies stock. A tune on the 2015-17 cars made a big difference in how the auto shifted. As well as speed up the shift time once commanded by the paddles. I bet the 2018 cars are the same way. But Ya, Ford could have done better with this.Let me know what you think of the trans after a few miles. The one I drove (am driving now) is mushy and slow-shifting at low speeds in everything but Track mode. Almost feels like a CVT. And the converter locks way early and bogs the engine, even bucks at low speeds like a manual. It rips at WOT, but low speed performance is disappointing. Perhaps it’s a problem with this particular car. The paddle shifters are slow too. WOT performance is holy shit good.
