It's not so much picking on Ford as it is seeing they've done some shady stuff, and now we can add the PP2 to that list.
apples to oranges because 1LE is The Camaro track package... Gt350 is a seperate model altogether and it was made available with 2 lvls of track packages.

Call it something else. That's false advertising. And let's not forget that the regular mustang WAS able to go on a track without overheating. In fact, the base and tech pack GT350's were the ONLY Mustangs that overheat on a track.

Sure, do your research first, but that's just a joke. I will blame the consumer, sure, but that doesn't let Ford off the hook. Two wrongs don't make a right. They are BOTH wrong.

And for the PP2, the point is, if it's a street car, then put better street tires on it. If it's a track car, put the coolers on it. I don't care either way, but the parts are in conflict with each other. That's like putting the most off road capable tires on a truck, and then making it with a suspension that you can't take off road and it will break down after a hundred yards. What's the point???
Gt350 was a track car in 65-67? After that it’s just been a Mustang sub model or at times an option package.
