For people who do a few fun days at the track and a couple test and tune runs at the strip the PP1 is probably great (better even if auto equipped). But for Ford to say they have been working on an "answer" to the 1LE this PP2 has to meet some high expectations and thus far "Police" brakes and a bigger radiator with cooler wheels is not enough.
If we find out that the PP2 has the GT 350 suspension and magnaride tuning and they fixed that God-awful MT-82 then I will be more optimistic.

I think the PP2 will come within spitting distance of the 1LE/GT350, but not quite match it. It will have magride, and will have different tuning than the standard mag ride but not sure how close to GT350 tuning yet. Has more power, and will have much better grip. I have been told they have replaced the clutch on the MT-82, twin disc or something like that. I think the performance will be acceptable when NOT considering what Ford is charging for it. 1LE will still be faster and likely cheaper, so I still think they will fall shot when compared ot the Camaro.
While all this is true, its not like Ford is failing with the Mustang. Its #2 in performance in the segment, which is right where they usually are. They have been selling so many Mustangs, its every 3rd car I see. While us hardcore performance guys aren't that impressed, they must doing something right because tons of people seem to be happy.
