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.

Yeah, this seems to be the case to me as well. GM should offer a more base GT style V8 option, that's much cheaper than the current base SS as well as more versatile(all seasons etc).
It doesn't seem to me that Ford has made an attempt to directly compete with the 1LE until this new PP2 came out.
Outside of that great upcoming H2H, I am quite interested in the gap between the PP2 and the GT350 as well to be honest. I want to know how much the PP2 improves the GT in comparison to what Ford did with the GT350.
