Not kidding, the 2020 Shelby GT500 has already been released with an Automatic Shift Dial like offered on Chrysler vehicles in the past. 

Here's a great video from the team at Edmunds!

Q: Is it available in a manual? 

A: No! But it's also not available with the 10-speed auto. The GT500 has its own gearbox, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), inspired by the performance of the Ford GT supercar but designed by Tremec specifically for the GT500 Mustang. Ford says the DCT can switch gears in less than 100 milliseconds, making shifts faster for drag racing, road courses, or just impressing your friends on the way to dinner. 

The transmission is tuned to work in several drive modes ― including Normal, Weather, Sport, Drag and Track ― which also trigger changes in the MagneRide suspension, steering and throttle response. The GT500 also offers line lock and launch control to help you put the power to the pavement.

Q: When will you know everything about it? 

A: We're still waiting to hear numbers for horsepower and pricing, but the Shelby GT500 should have more than 700 hp and sit above the Shelby GT350R in terms of price. Ford says the car should be available in fall 2019.

Under the GT500-only bulge hood will be a supercharged 5.2-liter V8. It's the same aluminum block as is in the GT350. But instead of going with the exotic flat-plane crank, the GT500 will be a more traditional muscle-car setup with a crossplane crank. The entire rotating assembly has been beefed up to handle more horsepower. 

How much more horsepower? Argh! Ford won't tell us yet! We do know that it will be more than 700 hp, go 0-60 mph in the mid-3-second range, and run a quarter-mile time in the high-10 seconds. To get those numbers from a smaller V8 than you'll find in its ponycar competitors, the Mustang has an enormous 2.65-liter Roots-type supercharger tucked between the aluminum heads.
