I'm afraid the PP1 honestly isn't going to be that much more different than the 15 - 17 cars except for more power. What it really needs is dampers that don't bounce around so damn much...

PP was a nice package for three grand. At four :tsk: But not a track package. 1LE will win this comparo.:shrug:

I test drove a couple of 18 PP1 cars with the base suspension and it felt vastly improved compared to my 2015 which was indeed very bouncy. Also, the PP1 MT tested probably had magneride.

The PP1 is far too under tired (both width and compound) compared to the 1LE. Without an upgrade in that department, it's a losing battle.

Well if my feelings are accurate about the test, than that's DEFINITELY not good. However, I've been doing a lot of reading and from what Ford engineers have been saying, it sounds like the MagneRide on the GT cars was definitely focused on streetability.

Probably should have waited for the PP2 to be out before you try and compare something. Unless you like taking a knife to a gunfight. Then again stranger things have happened and maybe the results will be surprising.

They already said on twitter PP2 will be available around march 18, so of course they will not wait that long before making a H2H Video.

Track time is only part of the experience of driving a car. The Mustang is better than the Camaro in so many ways, a couple seconds difference around a track is a minor part of the comparison... or at least it should be unless you are buying the car exclusively for track driving with no street driving. Most of us spend 98%+ of our time on the street, so buying a car only to gain a couple seconds on the track is not a good decision.

Ford knows this..and knows that those that track their cars make up only a small portion of overall sales...and a large portion of warranty claims.
