That’s why I was so vocal about Ford putting Cup 2s on it and then saying “it’s not a track car”. Then why the Cup 2s? And why not the appropriate coolers? If they were gonna half-step it, it would have made more sense to include the coolers and let the buyers who want to track it put the track tires on it? Gives me the impression that it was intended to beat 1LE, but since it didn’t, call it “not a track car”.

And, before the replies fly in about getting better times before it had to be pulled off the track, read the middle of this sentence again. It had to be pulled off the track. You can’t win if you can’t stay in. Ford could have avoided that and chose not to. Shame on them.

I agree with all of this to some point. The PP2 can run with the 1LE as reviewed, although for very limited laps. Failure on Fords part for not including coolers.

I am sure they had a valid financial reason not to do so, including not stepping on the 350s toes. Now that the 19 GT350 includes significant improvements to make it faster, which will separate it from the PP2 and 1LE, you may see Ford decide to include the coolers on the PP2.
