Hey guys, I went down to Galpin to check out the PP2, got some shots of the wheels etc. Scroll to the 4:00 minute mark for the car. Cheers!

Spoiler looks thinner and shorter than the promos.

Spoiler looks right.

I think it still looks like a smaller version of the one in the promo shots.

Yeah I went back and looked. Shape is right but the promo has a thicker back edge and the wing comes to the edge of the car, not edge of the trunk.

Thanks for sharing The wheel looks awesome! I just noticed this so all mustang GT pp1 pp2 and the bullitt only has brembo on Fronts? rear is not brembo?

I think the wheels and fitment is the best thing about it - but definitely needs to be lowered. It's going to look completely different on R springs.

Pretty sure the splitter won’t fit in the trunk without the seat being down. Might have been in the front during transportation but at this point it’s anyones guess

I think I’m losing interest in this car. I ordered a few days after it was announced and still don’t have a VIN. First it was a December production date now March. Also it looks like Ford isn’t going to be delivering the car that was advertised in the press release. With no info from Ford that I’ve seen. All this coupled with static from the dealership about pricing after the agreement was made is stealing the fun out of buying a “special” car. Also in the press release they were tooting about how much quicker around the road course it was over the PP1 car, I think it was 3.5 sec faster, how much of that 3.5 was in the tire?

That 10k mile C5 ZO6 is starting to look a lot better at half the price.

So this looks like a level between the GT350 and the PP GT.
It has the wheels and tires but rides higher and does not have the trans and diff coolers, brakes or flat plane engine. And it costs lots less.

Get a light use gt350 then.

I’m thinking of waiting another year, selling the bay boat and buying a 30ish center console with twin 250’s and fish more. Probably just build a coyote swapped coupe and call it good.

You seem to have a disconnect between your expectations and reality.

The car has no more power than a PP1 car, so the 3.5 seconds is all about the wheels & tires. And maybe a bit on the suspension.

You should have known that.

+1
The 405 hp z06 is a great car my friend have one but to me personally the gt350 is a better option than a 14+ year car!

Maybe so.

I expect that the $6500+$2000 PP2 optional bars, springs, mag ride, aero, wheels and tires to add up to more than 3.5 though. I would imagine that the Cup 2’s would be worth a little more than a 3.5 sec improvement alone.
