Hi

this is where the new 10-speed comes into play if accelerations is the main priority at least for the 5.0. With the close gear ratios, the RPM during shifting is held above 6000RPM when on full throttle. It would be interesting to see how a 10-speed and the 6.2(N/A) work together as this engine I am assuming is not as hungry for more gears compared to the 5.0.

Depending on track(circuit) and driving style I would assume the two engine/transmission combos have their pros and cons.

Still I think it is great that we are able to have these cars, I understand that there can be arguments(wild ones) but still it is a great era with a lot of amazing cars. For me I buy whatever I can afford and what I can think I can live with. For us as consumers competition is great and in some parts of the world it is getting more and more difficult to have these type of cars. We should enjoy what we have while it lasts.

Regarding the test I think MT will say the SS is still king on track compared to the PP1 at least and that the Mustang is easier to live with but that it is well improved for tracking with introducing the magneride, tires, (potentially the A10) and the new engine with a bit more torque and HP. I think as a surprise they also will test the PP1 with the same tires the the PP2 comes with

. In the end it is what makes you happy regardless of numbers. Some buy an Aston Martin for the same money as a Ferrari and might not this time around be after the ultimate driving car but after the feeling it gives them. I have said it before looking at the Mustang and SS if being daily driven I think they perform well enough for 95% of the people buying them.
