The performance pack did EXACTLY what most people needed it to do, hence the 30% take rate. Most of these cars never see the track, and in the past the PP1 was only a $2500 bargain upgrade.

Did the A8 not fail to offer adequate cooling for the A8 transmission on the Z06? It seems to me both omitted adequate cooling and therefore, both offer the same warning. I’d venture to say that an...

I think Ford knew the take rate on the MY15-17 power pack being 30% had a direct influence on what the PP1 became. Shift the options and price up too high and sales drop significantly. My guess is,...
