So much so, it is effecting the steering inputs. You have to adjust steering after the rear end flops over. In this day and age, that is ridiculous.
IF you did want to track a PP1, you would definitely want to stiffen up the suspension (especially the rear sway bar) to help resolve these issues. But, if you do that, you should leave off the Magneride when you order (it should be calibrated for the suspension that you have, so a suspension upgrade needs a re-calibration). In fact, you might just want to go with the base GT and go from there. And, you will definitely need at least a rear diff cooler from what I understand.
That is why I think the two PP's should be a bit different than what they are. Just make the base GT a comfortable ride, the PP1 something that tames the unwanted body motions for fun back road spirited driving, and make the PP2 for the track (including coolers). Then you have something for everyone.
As it stands now, the PP1's suspension is crap. The PP2 will probably tame that, but it comes with tires that are so aggressive, they don't do well on the street, yet there are no coolers....

Funny, I have yet to see them test the PP1 against the 1SS…or the 1SS against the 1LE. As it stands, it appears the PP1 turns a somewhat close laptime to what the 1SS has done in the past. Anytime you put a car that underperforms against a track oriented car…you are going to get “unwanted” motions. I’m curious to see if the motortrend folks would have used the same verbiage if they pitted the 1SS against the PP1.
If you wanted to track the PP1, there is no need to do anything unless you want to make it better. The only people that will need coolers on these are those that push the cars hard for a long duration. Most people won’t.
