Yes, it will definitely be fast enough for that. I think the 8AT shifts amazingly fast.
Or just leave it in Sport Mode. The tranny will hold revs a lot higher in Sport mode if you are getting on the gas. All the way to the top if you'd like.
Remember though that 8 gears is a lot of gears. When you slow down to take a slow corner you will find yourself having to click 3 or 4 times. Might be faster just to let the Sport mode do its thing. I think it can shift directly from higher gears to lower gears without hitting the ones in between. You can't do that with the paddles. Maybe if you click the paddles fast enough, the tranny will do multi-gear jumps. Not sure.
