For what it's worth, 2019/2020 GT350 handling package includes Gurney Flap and Adjustable Strut Mounts. From that perspective, it seems to make sense that adjustable strut mounts would be included with the GT500 handling package as well.

I see Edmunds list the GT350 Handling Package (67L) is being an $850 option (MSRP). The GT500 MSRP price for its respective Handling Package is $1500. Ford the additional $650 I hope you do indeed get more than just the flap and wickers.

Anyone know why only certain CFTP have the splitter wickers? It’s been bothering me, is it optional there, too?

They simply didn't install them.

I see. A little misleading I suppose.

Thanks Snoopy! Awesome find! I also received my brochure today and under handling pack it specifies, splitters, gurney flap and air/oil separator. So the missing item here is the Camber mounts which we all believe to be a part of the package. If so the slide from the engineers presentation is true. For $1500 bucks you get, splitters, gurney flap, air/oil separator (aka catch can) and camber plates. Worth it!

Also wondering why the splitters and gurney flap are track use only? JP

I think it may be because the cars weren't certified with those items. Just a guess on my part.

Not sure what the camber limits will be on the GT500 with camber plates, but this is kinda on topic and may be of interest...

Those items would increase drag and therefore lower gas mileage, maybe even into the next higher Gas Guzzler Tax level... We don’t want that!

Ok, that makes financial sense. But do i really care about gas mileage when I'll be at the low end of the mileage pool because this car will tempt me to jump on that throttle like a fat kid on a glazed donut. (Oh, and i do love donuts)

You don't need a $1500 handling package to smoke the tires or do donuts.

Like all things, but I want it...… Want the handling package for two main reasons. I will track the car occasionally, but the main one is how much meaner I think it looks with the splitters and Gurney lip.

I agree, I will install them and they will stay on for the life of the car, they look so nice!

Hey, we paid for those expensive parts, may as well USE 'em, huh Jaime? :-)

And I think wings and wickers really add to the look.
