i think you'll see with the PP2 lap times, the 1LE isn't the better chassis. The GT350 has already proven that. The 1LE however has hands down better track components (over the Bullitt). The OP however has already stated he will never track either one of these vehicles which negates the whole intent of the 1LE package in the first place. The Boss will most likely be a bit quicker in a straight line and (on the road) handle nearly the same. His decision shouldn't be on which car handles better at the track, but what car is going to suit (and satisfy) him best for the street.
Indeed. I'm OK with spending money on extra options up front, but most of the money he'll be spending on the upgrades will never be noticed. In other words, he's spending an extra $7000 for wheels and a steering wheel over the base 1SS. Yikes!
Wait a few months and that alcantara breaks down and looks like crap. It's also a b!tch to maintain. The Camaros are even more cheaply made than the Mustang and less attention to detail. GM is the bottom of the barrel in that dept. There's still ongoing issues with the Camaros that aren't inconsequential.
By bad decision. I mean buying a 1Le strictly for a steering wheel . And the other things you absolutely adore about the 1Le. Track oriented cars. Are compromises on the daily commute. The ride is usually worse. The wide tires make a lot more noise and don't deal with road imperfections as well. There ridiculous in bad weather. I'm not suggestion getting a Mustang. I'm just suggesting you take a loooooong test drive in a 1Le. And make sure you can live with a track oriented car. That's never going to see the track. You can do a lot of customizing to a 1ss for the price of the 1Le package.
. Not really, I like both the GT and SS. Neither car would be as good as it is if there was no compitition.The 1LE in tour mode is surprisingly comfortable. Yes, it does tend to follow the road imperfections but it's easy to deal with. It's not too bad in the rain, leave all the nannies on and it keeps the rear end under control. Of course, this is also my toy car. If the weather is going to be bad it stays in the garage.. what I really don't understand is the people who buy a 'stang, camaro, or any other sports car as a daily driver someplace where you get bad weather. These aren't meant to be practical, everyday cars. I bought it to have fun, not haul lumber.
It's really fun to pull 1G up the cloverleaf when you get the chance. Nobody needs 400+ horsepower on the street, either.
The Bullitt comes with magneride shocks and Michelin PS4 tires. It’s going to be able to pull a G on an entrance ramp. Some of you seem to think the Bullitt is going to handle like a mid 70s Caddy, and that’s just not the case. These two are going to handle very similarly on public roads. The Bullitt will just be faster in a straight line.
Where's your data?
