Default Where are the performance goodies w/an automatic?

I currently own a 6MT '13 but I am having health issues, which is giving me problems moving my right leg over to the brake. I naturally drive with both feet with automatics, and I am looking to trade the '13 in on an automatic because of this. I went to Ford's website to build a '15 and noticed, just like the last model, the performance goodies are only available with a manual. I am speaking only about the GT as the ecoboost retains the performance pack with the auto. With the improved automatics, I am surprised they still only offer performance packs with just a manual.

I have an Ecoboost in my pickup, but I'm not sure that is the way to go in a Mustang! If you can afford it, think about putting a Roush supercharger on the 5.0L instead of all the other options. All the other performance "add ons" add up & don't come near to what you get with "only" a Roush supercharger. It drives like a grandmother's Mustang until you put your foot in it.... then hold on tight cause it will fly!
