Because Ford isn't making track cars, they are making street cars that can be driven at the track. More people will buy a PP2 at the new prices than the same PP2 with an extra $3k tacked on for the extra options required to make it "race ready".
Most people don't/won't run these cars for hours on end at the track. And of course, running in any type of sanctioned race voids the warranty.
Ford cares less about the 10-20 people bitching that the new PP2 won't be capable of running hot laps for hours on end than the majority that won't ever get the car to run in limp mode.
Your entire argument falls in the face of evidence.
Why did Ford make the proper cooling package standard on the GT350, then?
The percentage of people taking a Mustang GT PP2 to the track is likely to be a lot higher than the folks buying a base GT350.
The PP2 is the most track focused Mustang GT. The Base GT350 is the least track focused GT350 (the R being the most).
Yet, the GT350 base gets the cooling package, but the GT PP2 does not.
P.S. This has nothing to do with "race ready" or running for hours on track, since the Mustang GT will run out of fuel after ~1HR on track. This is about enjoying the performance of these cars on 20-30 min sessions in *** the only safe and legal place to do so *** - a high performance driving event - without having the car go limp with warning lights after 3 laps.
