Your constant ridiculous excuses just show how bad the performance is.
Ford just upped the price, upped the HP and tq, and sent GTs to every popular well known tuner/racer/shop they could find. These guys bought the GT and immediately took them to the track and used every track related app/mode it came with to bust off the best time they could get. They then threw DRs, tunes, track packs, blowers, nitrous, etc on these cars and spent weeks bragging on social media and advertising on their websites and snapping driveshafts all in efforts to chip away at the numbers and showcase the performance of this car. And you sat here making bold claims about the GT and GT PP1 all based on performance. The GT got it's ass whooped despite all the fanfare and hoopla and claims of 11 sec quarter mile times and now all of a sudden you reply back with marketing bullshit? And the best excuse you have is that now all of a sudden Ford was targeting a different audience? The only audience they were targeting was the performance world. If they didn't care about the performance then they would have saved the money from the performance upgrades, left it as a high 12 sed to low 13 sec car, spent a little bread on the cosmetics, and called it a day. But they didn't because they are trying to keep up with the Camaro.

Haha, man you sound like your ass is chapped...and totally naive. You really are delusional.
Ford produces a base GT with narrow all season tires NOT to compete with the SS, but because they are cheaper and they know a large percentage of buyers do not want more expensive, summer only tires as these are daily drivers across all parts of the country. Ford knows the SS has a tire advantage, and they don't care...and for some reason that eats you up.
Likewise, they produce the PP1 not to compete with the 1LE, but to give buyers something that is a little more track ready, with summer tires and a few more track oriented goodies without making an all out track performer. Once again, Ford already knew how the 1LE performed...and if they wanted to produce a car that competed with it, they would have. And again, for whatever reason this eats you up.
Lastly, the PP2 is produced with a completed upgraded and tuned suspension with track ready tires. This is absolutely Fords attempt to match the 1LE. This is blatantly obvious...how anyone here or in any other forum can argue otherwise is delusional. Once again, it is claimed the PP2 is a good 3.5 seconds faster than the PP1 around Grattan raceway. This should make it very close in performance to the 1LE.
Will it beat it, I really don't care...as I will never own either. But for anyone to argue that the PP1 was made to compete with the 1LE is out of their mind.
