Is the PP worth it? For me? No! That's not saying it's a bad deal, you get a lot of upgrades with it and that fine and dandy. I bought the convertible. I have absolutely no interest in racing or hot rodding the car and while I do play with it from time to time, I'm very careful about that and basically just drive it "normally" most of the time.. I don't consider myself to be a bad driver but I like to think I know my own limitations and honestly, I'm not capable of fully exploiting the max potential of the car in stock form, much less with the PP installed, so I'm perfectly happy with the status quo, and I don't think I'm the only one out there that feels that way!Hot button issue, I guess... going off of the conversations I've had via Youtube comments on my videos. And after searching for this topic, it seems it's been a year since this forum really tackled this conversation and the 18+ Mustang PP is even more expensive than the 15-17.
I'll repeat here what I said to someone on Youtube:
I guess I’ll just have to accept that my opinion that the Performance Pack Level 1 isn’t really a great value is an unpopular opinion. I just don’t feel buying that trim at $4k and then still upgrading some parts like suspension, rims, and tires makes it that much of a bargain. I’d argue cherry-picking parts like I mentioned in the video makes more sense. Especially, as I said, that at $4700 over a base car you could get the same brakes, gears, and radiator as the PP1, but you’ll also have better suspension, better wheels, and better or equal tires. I’d rather do that than buy the PP1 for $700 less, but that’s just me.
I want to say, hopefully for the last time between this video and my video about why I skipped the performance pack, I have no qualms about some people being satisfied with the PP1’s offerings and buying that package. It’s a good deal if you’re all set with the car off the lot... but for most of us, modding is impulsive or necessary and I hope my explanation in the video and in my first response explains why I think cherry-picking is probably a better option, value-wise.
Opinions?
