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.

I think you're the delusional one. You need every excuse to defend the GT getting beat badly. Again, Ford just spent a ton of money on R&D for the GT. They co-developed the A10 trans, They pushed the engine to 460. They added DFI. and then shipped it to tuners and shops all for the sole purpose of getting the best quarter mile they could. And you insist that it wasn't for performance reasons? Again, if that was the case, why not just save the money and do cosmetic stuff only? And why were you on here up until it got it's ass kicked bragging about all the performance improvements? You never said any of this until recently. What gives?
