What the heck, I'll chime in here. I had a 2015 and loved it but I love my SS better for a number of reasons.
I think this iteration is what the 2015 should have been from the start. Ford cut a lot of corners to get the 2015 ready. Focused too much in certain areas where they should have focused on others. Performance wise I think the 2018 will end up being about ~12.7 (manual) and ~12.5 (auto). They've already said price point is going to go up on the car and most of the new features advertised are optional upgrades including the digital gauge cluster. I would expect Fords pricing with similar options will now be in line with GM's pricing on the SS. One thing I'd like to know is if the standad GT Premium is going to come with Brembo's or is it going to come with the same ones the 15's did. I'm guessing Brembos will be a PP upgrade like last time. I have to agree that horsepower isn't going to be as important as actual performance numbers but it will factor in. ~100lbs, 55 torque, and 20hp is a big deal. |

Which means the PP2 will not be too close to the V8 1LE, or that would make it too close in performance to the GT350. Big dilemma for Ford. |

"a new cross-axis joint in the rear suspension leads to increased lateral stiffness" Perhaps this addresses the issue? Not sure. |
Only color changes for 350. Been confirmed
Regular 350 just shown to be the same speed as an ats-v. Ats v no quicker than SS. Same track. Same driver. Different day but lmao. The new pp2 will be lucky to keep up with a 3rd year base model ss on run flats. With parts from a parts bin. And a dinosaur for a motor. Poor furd Vs 1le... yeah right. |
lol

Well they copied the dual mode exhaust. Copied digital gauges. Copied direct injection.Copied the suspension. Got a transmission we helped them make and use ourselves. Bumped the power for the 3rd time in the coyote. And added yet another little pack to help the pony compete.
With all that it should handle the base model parts bin dinosaur with a lackluster tractor like motor. And one would think rather easily. GM had no problem decimating the s550 GT with the 6g. In every metric. I wonder if the new pp will even beat a 5th gen 1le? |

The 1LE matches or beats a GT350 on a track....so you're saying the new GT PP is going to be faster than a GT350? |

I bought the SS because it was and continues to be the best performing vehicle in its class. I don't see that changing as long as Ford is just doing a facelift and suspension tweaks. |

They're also updating the manual transmission and adding in the 10 speed automatic. It's not just suspension and appearance tweaks. |
