I took it in yesterday at 11 local time. So far it is the "instrument cluster". According the dealership, as of late yesterday, there are none available and it is back-order. However, 24 hours later Ford still has not let the dealership know when one will be available...

I have yet to see another PP2 in person also. Congrats on your Hellcat killer.

What was the installed cost of the supercharger?

Looks like we are in the same area, I'll keep an eye out for you. I have had my 2019 PP2 since mid October now and still have not ran across another PP2 either.

Kelly Johnson the man who designed the SR-71 on a cocktail napkin in a bar in Burbank figured it out long ago. K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid. Analog dashboard is fine less to go wrong.

I am a Ford dealer and I ordered analog for my PP2, I know how tough tracks can be on electronics and I hate chasing gremlins.

How are folks opening the gas cover without getting smear marks on the gas door? I've tried using the back of my knuckle to no avail.

No thanks on that one. My best guess at this point is to keep a micro fiber in the console for the door. But that seems a bit "crazy" to do at every fill up.

Use one of the paper towels near the windshield washers. Just grab one really quick and use it to pull/push the gas cap.

Good day, fellow enthusiasts I am a brand new member to the forum, and also to the beautiful world of Mustang --soon to be via a PP2. I am about to complete my custom order for a 2019, after joyous research. Unfortunately, the option of test driving one is, as you know, not an option... so I wanted to ask you, daily drivers, the following:

Very specific question... after exchanging your OEM Cup 2 tires with higher profile ones (MSP4S, MPSS, or the like, possibly with 295/35s front and 325/30s rear set ups), how is the daily drivability of the car with MagneRide in NORMAL mode, in terms of ride comfort? Only curious about this in NORMAL setting.

Reason I ask... I am from CO and just moved to Atlanta GA, with a BMW M2 non-Competition as daily driver. The M2 is stiffed-legged, and has no Electronic Damping Control (EDC); while tolerable in CO, it wasn't (for us) here in Midtown Atlanta streets, and sold it mostly because of this. The PP2 would be its replacement. My M5 does have EDC, and it is comfortable in comfort mode --our butts and lower backs can tell the difference.
For what it is worth, I test drove a PP1 without MagneRide, and a GT350. I found the 350 to be more comfortable in NORMAL mode vs the M2 --and also than the PP1: in terms of ride comfort M2 < PP1 < 350 NORMAL mode.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. I have enjoyed looking at your beautiful rides and custom builds! I might opt for a Roush supercharger.

I'm on 285/35/19's on AS3+'s during the winter months and its honestly not bad. If the road is torn up like a section or road at my work it is miserable. During normal driving on normal roads I find it to be fine. My wife in the Recaro's haven't complained either.

It is going to be judged off of what your normal level of comfort is.

I honestly didn't notice much of a difference in comfort going from the SC2's to the AS3+'s. An obvious difference in handling. I'm sure the MPS4S's during the summer will bring back some of that grip and flat cornering.

Thank you for your time and insight. Happy new 2019.

The stock PP2 wheels with the sport cup 2's are very intense, regardless of what drive mode you are on, but im coming from a basic ass honda accord, so depending on how much prior experience you've had with fat wheels and sticky tires, it might not be that bad. Personally for me, I was shocked and thought there was something wrong with my steering wheel the first few times i drove around with the stock pp2 setup.

Since then, iv swapped the wheels to a squared setup, using the 19x9.0 ET 45 PP1 wheels, wrapped in 255/40R - 19 Blizzak LM-32s. The drive is night and day difference. Very smooth, very controlled, and not aggressive at all.
I still take on-ramps at high speeds for shiggles sometimes, and the car feels very planted(when its dry out obviously). Had some early snow in November and was able to drive around in about 2-3 inches of snow no problem. I daily drive my pp2, and it is very comfortable. The different toggle modes still make a huge difference. I can definitely feel the steering wheel tighten up, and the suspension / throttle response / (even clutch engagement i think) change up between sport+, track, and normal mode.

I cant wait for summer to roll back around so i can do some real driving with the sc2's though. Apparently they are incredible when its dry/hot out. Once they run out ill likely switch to the mp4s for the summer, since it does rain a bunch here in summer.

This car is awesome.

Nearing 3000 miles and my only complaint is the weird little rattles coming from the back seat and lower left leg area of the driver seat. (maybe the speaker grill? or like the trim piece connected to the sunglasses holder / trunk lid button?)

When I get mine I'll wear out the SC2's and put Potenzas on. The car looks great with the stock wheels, that why I'm buying it. If i was worried about the ride or handling I would just keep my '13 Boss.

the stock pp2 wheels are fresh af. i wish i could run them year round.
