Visually tell the difference between true HP and faux HP

[The stang dude]

I have my eye on a 2022 Mach 1 Premium, Red, 6 speed. It has the HP spoiler, with Gurney flap, the HP wheels but is missing the parts a dealer is supposed to add on at delivery such as the front wheel well molding, the lower chin splitter and possibly the camber plates. If I can't see the original sticker is there other signs of an HP Mach 1? I checked the VIN on the lookup and it didn't indicate the packages it comes with. Thoughts?

What color is the spoiler & gurney flap. If it’s magnetic matte then good chance it’s the HP

If it’s missing the camber plates then not an HP

did Canadian HP get that stuff though?

I think they should have gotten the cam er plates for sure. I recently saw a YT video from a recent Mach 1 purchaser that had to open a ticket with Ford because they didn't receive the afformentioned parts even though it was an HP. That's what got me thinking.

They're all bolt-on parts, except for the MagneRide tuning so you never know. Sticker is your only choice. You can get it here: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/window-sticker.107986/

Camber plates are factory installed, if it doesn't have them, it's not factory HP. Then again it doesn't matter as you can make it HP (or far better) easily yourself.

I’ve seen window stickers included in Carfax reports if you can get one on this car?

I've also asked in the forum Linked above.

Some HP didn’t have the camber plates installed and were sent later. The whole thing is bolt on. Just see if you can find a nice Mach 1. They’re all the same. Just be prepared for a larger gas and insurance bill.

I know on fords website the handing package lists a "split bench folding rear seat." Is that a way to quickly visually tell a HP from a faux one? Is that available on any others? Also is the rear sub frame different in the HP? Please let me know. Thanks

The '19/'20 Bullitt are a 480hp pp1
& had a split rear seats that folded individually.
Or are we completely misunderstanding the point of your question? I assumed all cars with premium interior had this, or even base mdls as well.

Sure is. My subframe has styrofoam bushings. The HP pack cars bushings are made of pure copper and bonded to the chassis to further reduce electromagnetic interference to the computer which is grounded via 24 karat gold plated connectors to provide the least resistance possible. This is exclusively on the HP models as an undocumented feature. Bottom line, look for the pure copper bushings.

Thanks for the info. I thought there was something. Also the rear sway bar is solid instead of hollow.

Well ford listed it separately on the handing pack description so I wasn't sure if that was a hp only option. The op wanted to know if there was a way to tell one from another easily. That would be an easy way to tell if it were true.
