With the camaro, I understand how touring mode could aide with weight transfer. I'm curious how far down the rabbit hole Ford went to try to get these things to perform for the magazines. |

Will the level 2 do any better? It is after all just a "street performance" package with no cooling.

Sounds like a lot of talking up from Ford, lol!! They advertise the PP and PP2 as being all this and all that and yet it is unlikely that either of these will be able to match the SS 1LE. Yet now we're supposed to believe in some miracle programming that will adjust the suspension THAT drastically?? Sounds like a lot to be hopeful for. And it sounds like an overhyped LC. If anything it'll slightly adjust the suspension so that you don't put excess strain on the parts or so that it is better suited for straight line work instead of whatever limited cornering it is capable of. It is nothing that Chevy and Dodge don't have or do...Ford just figured out a fancy name for it. It ain't like you're gonna bust off a 12.4 in the car, the put it in drag mode and drop another 3 seconds off. It more than likely won't have any effect at all or maybe just a minimal impact on the car's performance.

Did you know the base SS has three radiators, brake cooling ducts, oil, transmission and differential coolers?

Keep in mind the GT350 5.2L turns over 8,000 rpm. Still, the 5.0L's on track will run some fairly high temps in stock or lightly modified form. You really need to put a nice oil-air oil cooler and/or a heavy duty radiator on them to keep them in an unconcerned state for fluid temps. The regular SS has plenty of cooling going on to not have to worry. |

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that added cooling is recommended for the PP2 if you want to track it, but I can't find where I read that now.

For a few laps, till it goes into limp mode. Huge fail on Ford for not giving it coolers...a “track” car you can’t track.
