You can get the PP on the 16' 'verts. I'm also on the fence about getting a stick, so it might be a moot point regarding not being able to get the PP. True they don't have NPP, but a set of Borla cat-backs can fill that need for around the same price (had them, they are great). True, they don't have an 8 speed auto, but the 6 speed 6R80 isn't junk. I had it in my '12 5.0, it was fine. They don't have MRC which I was really looking forward to.
I did Xplan price a vert, and it was $5,000 cheaper than what I'm expecting a 2SS 'vert to be... versus MSRP (this could be a key point)... Now, if I can get a the Chevy at +3% over invoice like the Ford, then I'll probably still buy it. I wanted to be around 45k, but 50k is my ceiling. The Mustang I configured was sitting at $43,500 nicely options, add $1k for Borla's, and I'd be very happy with it. I'd be willing to pay more for the Chevy, how much? Depends on how much better I think the 2SS is than the Prem GT.
I'm that guy that isn't brand loyal and is looking for something that tickles my fancy in my budget. I'm here obviously because I really want a 2SS 'vert, and is my leading choice, but I've got to be a realist.
Just a note $48,695 for a GT350 is pretty tempting, too. I'd be willing to sacrifice the drop top for the FPC V8 noise... nasty.
