PP2 OWNER EXPERIENCES - RAVES/QUIRKS

[LFG_Cory]

Oh I'm aware. I learned to drive a manual on a 1966 Mustang with a three speed. This is my first manual with hill assist though so had no idea how it would behave.

I miss the coordination of driving a manual and being on a hill. I learned to drive in a 1976 F-100 triple tree 3 speed with a foot parking brake. It was do or die in that thing lol

I have about 2300 miles on mine. Love it! Tracked it a few times and always brings a giant smile to my face! Has all the grip!

Have only changed out rear gear oil to 75w-140 changed oil to 5w-30. Also added rock guards behind wheels. No other big plans. What a hoot!

almost at 5k on mine as a DD. i switched out the sc2s for PS4S after 700 miles. went with 325/30 in the back and don't regret it. the handling as others have said is amazing. i've never driven a more confident instilling vehicle. you point it in a direction and it goes. i do a decent bit of "spirited" driving in sport+ mode and it just takes anything you throw at it. i absolutely love it.

my only complaints are that the coyote could use some down low torque but i think it's just me used to my blown 331 in my 94 which is a torque monster. other than that, it does kick up a lot of stones with the 305 up front and my quarter panel has the evidence to prove it. even with zl1 rock guards installed. the mt-82 is not ideal but i'm hoping a shifter down the road will make it better. i already have the steeda bracket/bushing installed which helped a lot as well as the clutch spring. oh and the brake pads are dust crazy!

Mods so far are just basic ones, 25% tint, jacking rails, few little vinyl goodies. having switched to the PS4S, i did notice more wheel hop so i will be getting the steeda kit in the near future.

Interesting, I haven't noticed any wheel hop with this car whatsoever, but I haven't had it down the 1320 yet. Plan is to see what it can do on the Bridgestones, then probably a 305 or 325 MT Street. 11's or bust!

Love mine, no complaints, it’s 401a, active exhaust, delivered May 14th (6 months I waited, ugh...) Not a DD, got 2700 on it so far, I think most of those are track miles. I swapped out the Cups for Bridgestone Potenza S-04, put 275’s on front, 305’s rear. Purchased another set of wheels for the Cups and racing. Car is great on the track, I go as often as I can. Going out again this weekend. Switched out the diff and gear oil to BG and no overheating yet. No other mods, don’t really plan on anything but we’ll see. Oh I did wrap the whole front and rear quarters behind wheels to protect paint, going in this week to get the doors done, as with all the track time I noticed some chips. Windows are now tinted too.

I have yet to see another PP2 at the track or around town. The PP1 owners I think are jealous, as they always stop and stare when at the track.

Everyone stops and asks about the color.

How about factory alignment issues? I'm thinking when I put on the summer tires that I am getting an alignment check/adjustment. Concern or no?

Was not a concern for me, still straight as ever. I am constantly changing my wheels/tires from street to track too.

 

[LFG_Cory]

Wear is even? Seeing some FB posts about the inside wearing down to the cord. I would think that the camber would be spot on out of the factory. These aren't PP2 Mustangs that this is happening to. Just curious.

 

[Lightning Struck]

I've got about 2700mi on mine. My only regret was not getting the SC2's off the car before they destroyed the paint.

 

[LFG_Cory]

That's why I am spending the money to clear vinyl wrap entire car. There is a company that makes the clear wrap for just the quarter panel areas though. I'll have to find it again.

I looked into that locally...couldn't find anyone in WG Orlando area to do it.

... of the wheels, that's it!

Absolutely love the car, beat out a GT350R and a SS 1LE at our local autocross. Taking it to Gripfest at NCCAR this Sunday. The intake, long tubes, and PBD E85 tune make it a force to be reckoned with. Love the Cup2s. If any other owners want to get rid of there Cup2s let me know. Haven't had any issues, 5500 miles, including a 1200 mile road trip to the tail of the dragon, as well as 6 autocross events.
