Are you sure it is exactly the same chassis as the GT350? Ford said the GT350 is unique from the windshield forward, which to me includes changes to the chassis. So, I am not sure that I would assume that the chassis is exactly the same in the GT350 and the other Mustangs.
Plus, with all the awesome things said about the GT350, I can't recall anyone raving about the chassis. The handling, yes, for sure, but not sure anyone has specifically called out the chassis.
AND, even Ford's literature said that the PP1 includes "unique chassis and antilock brake tuning". You get different chassis tuning just by getting PP1.
Also, I agree that the PP2 will have be better on the road course. I was looking at the package, and it includes a 67 percent stiffer rear stabilizer bar, a 12 percent stiffer front stabilizer bar. In the videos, you can see the rear end dancing around like crazy. The 67% stiffer rear sway bar can help tame that.
But, as for the softer suspension for daily driving, they missed the mark. With Magenride, you can stiffen the hell out of the suspension, and let Magneride soften up for the bumpy bits. That's the beauty of it. You get the best of both worlds (comfort AND performance) at the same time. What good does it do to add Mangneride to a sloppy suspension?
