Honestly there is no way I would ever drop anywhere near 50k on a GT or SS regardless of what package they have. You are going to loose your shirt with depreciation almost instantly. Better to pony up a few more dollars and buy the GT350 or ZL1.
That's kind of the bind that Ford is in with these performance packs. If they add too much, it will get too close to the GT350 in both price and performance. You might as well get the GT350 at that point.

But, I got a 2016 1SS (non-1LE) that has all the necessary track coolers (I added MRC, Dual Mode Exhaust, 8-speed auto, and a few other goodies like a blade spoiler), for just a hair over $40k. And that was pretty close to MSRP. You could get this same car now for under $40k for sure (especially if you don't want an auto transmission). That's just about $20k cheaper than the GT350.

It's a perfect daily driver, that you can take to the track on weekends with no modifications (I only added DOT4 brake fluid so far). But, to get a trackable (road course of course) Mustang, you are getting awfully close to the GT350 in price.
