My biggest beef with the S550 stock Stang is the slightly slow steering ratio of 16:1. It took a lot of mods to make the front end more responsive (and they have worked). I just read the PP2 has a different ratio?

"Among the changes to deliver these improved responses are a quicker-ratio steering rack and standard-fit MagneRide dampers"
Is this true and if so, what is the ratio? I wonder if we can retrofit this to the pre-midcycle cars.
The GT350 and R I believe have 16.5:1 (so even slower)

That along with the wider front tires will do a lot for steering response.
I saw a lot of people saying the PP2 is not worth 6500. I'll say this, the biggest complaints about my 15 PP that I had were:
1) Muted exhaust - fixed in 18 refresh and by me in aftermarket
2) Slower steering than I'd like - partially mitigated by me in aftermarket with sways, wider wheels, toe out. Seems fixed in 18 PP2
3) High speed front end lift - currently being addressed by me with splitter. Seems like partially addressed in 18 refresh with redesigned hood vents, fixed in PP2 with aggressive spoiler.
4) Body roll - fixed by me with bushings, springs, dampers etc. Fixed in PP2 with better shocks, springs. I suspect they have left all that rubber bushings though which needs to go.
5) Insanely heavy wheels and shitty tires - fixed by me in aftermarket. Fixed in PP2.
All said and done, I think Ford addressed most of my issues and I bet its cheaper to go the PP2 route than the one I took. I bet the PP2 reviews will be very favorable.
