Ford put Cup2s on it and a bunch of other parts including parts from the Gt350. This is to try to get some good magazine test results on the track compared to the 1LE, but they don't want you to track it. Problem is the 1LE can match the current GT350 on track, which is why they've made changes to the 2019 GT350.

I own a Mustang GT PP2, and it got the craptastic MT82D which is plagued with shift fork issues. Besides that, my motor blew at 863 miles. Currently waiting on Ford to fail to fix it within 30 days and then the subsequent buy back, but this article and the admission by Ford makes me feel duped (could rhyme with stupid if you pronounce it right). |

The next efforts from Ford will be the Bullitt and the Shelby GT 500 (PP3?). Since Ford is giving up on all cars but the Mustang, maybe one of their new SUVs will be track-worthy. Or instead of a pickup bed in the F150, maybe the whole back end could be a giant cooler.

EDIT: I found a video from Pocono, they are chasing a black Gen 5 1LE. The Lexus is blue.

Bullitt is a paint job and 15 extra hp for premium $$$. Kinda like GM stuck badges on a Z06 and called it a C7R. Quite amazingly some folks did fall for it and forked out extra $$$ for a "race car". Marketing has no limits... |

That's really unfortunate. Of course I'm happy that our cars still benchmark very well against the competition but, I do not want the competition to falter in such a way. The more they push us, the better product we all get. Ultimately, I love Mustangs just as much if not more than I do Camaro's and I want them both to succeed.
