I was hoping this thing would beat the 1LE, and we can see some back and forth between the two automakers. So, I am disappointed from the standpoint that the PP2 is not really a track package (okay, perhaps I was foolish to assume this, you can fault me for that). But, on top of that disappointment, I have to put up with more of the Ford bias by the auto journalists because they are afraid of the Ford fanbois. Why can't they just tell it like it is. They re-tuned the suspension with some of the GT350 bits, which is great. They stuck some track focused tires on it, which is great. Then they forgot the coolers, which is crap. So, now the parts just really don't go together. Which is a fail. Don't try to white wash this fail because you don't want to be labeled Road & Chevy by some internet trolls. Good grief.  |
The odd thing is that Ford went through all the trouble to do all kinds of track specific testing and tuning, with track specific type of components, only to decide not to include proper coolers to sustain a track environment,
not even to offer them as an up-charged option, and call it a car that isn't intended to be a track car... A serious
WTF.
If you want to create a more thrilling experience above the PP1, just through on wider wheels and tires, retune the MRC and call it a day. Besides, most of the guys I see on M6G don't even care to track these cars. They take the Sport Cups off and put on all seasons. The big allure to them is the wheels (which are sexy, I will admit). Even the suspension isn't low enough for some, as they swap out to GT350 springs/GT350 FP springs...
Point is, the people buying them, aren't buying them for the work these hard working Ford engineers put their time in for - they just want the wheels and a lower stance... and to say, "I have Level 2!" (not making fun of anyone, but that is a "thing" for buyers).
