Yes. I saw them at the Queen Mary show in Long Beach. Sorry, I don't remember who makes them but they were sweet!

True.. paddle shifters are not quite "American Muscle".. but they are great in the right car.

I drove a Maserati Cambiocorsa with paddles and it was amazing. You could keep both hands on the wheel to concentrate on handling and still control your shifts..

Now, granted, that was a maserati, buta good paddle set should be awesome on the mustang..

If youhate it..dontget it..
