I imagine the PP2 will come with a more aggressive tune closer to the current GT350. Excited to see what they do with the '18. They left a lot on the table when they released the first S550 offerings, looking forward to seeing the performance improvements.
Agreed. I'll add that the standard Shelby was no match for the SS 1LE and barely a match for the SS despite the hefty price. The R version was a match only because of the different aero stuff it had over the non-R and the CF wheels. So if the 18 is getting Magneride and if it is detuned and it obviously isn't coming with CF wheels then I doubt it'll put up much of a fight against the SS 1LE. I think the real competitor will be the PP2 and nobody is sure of what it'll have and how much it'll cost.

Good riddance. I think Ford did a terrible job with this one. They really dropped the ball. A diehard fan will stand by it. But anyone cross-shopping would probably go a different route.
