I'm patiently waiting for the guys that have these cars to stop talking about installing FP GT350 lowering springs and taking instagram pictures and start DRIVING these cars and talking about HOW THE CAR DRIVES.

Same! I would love to have some grudge matches at the local AutoX and Track Days!

No. Same as PP1. Just the engine oil cooler.

The point is to theoretically provide the same performance potential as the 1LE, before the car limps back to the paddock.

According to Ford, it is meant to give the mustang enthusiast a bit more driving excitement on twisty roads... i.e., not meant to be a track focused car. LOL!

Install the same cheating Michelin Cup tires on the SS 1LE and it will be Hasta la Vista Mustang. It would be really funny if either way with the street tires the SS 1LE beats the Mustang GT PP2 again.

I can tell you this on track GT350 most of us has passed. I have done more so than not. In fact some of the pics I posted has GT350 behind me. In fact the shelby cobra with upgraded brake calipers all the great stuff last year could not hang with me in my gen5. But the driver in that case was a bit novice.. Just sayin. ..

You're right putting same tires on both cars is what they should do. Not sure what temps the 5.0 have running hard but I am greatful the Gen6 has the coolers. The Gen5 was very skecthy on running hot on the engine oil .rear diff..

Why Ford does not engineer the coolers in theirs is more cost saving and still running to be more pricey for us muscle heads looking for performance and dependability.I guess they think the aftermarket is there for that.

A guy I work with who currently drives a Focus ST has an order in for a 19' GT Premium PP2, he should have it some time in July hopefully. I can't wait to get some comparisons out at Autocross and hopefully on track!

And remind him he needs to install aftermarket coolers if he doesnt want to burn up the diff and tranny. And then check with Ford re his warranty coverage...
