Upon further review I think Ford must have had leftover base and tech package 2016 GT350 spoilers laying around. Click the links at town east Ford to compare.

Watch your mirrors ...

$6,500 for something 99.99% of Mustang owners will never use or see the capabilities of.

And to think, back in 1982 I bought a brand new GT for $9,999 ...

And most people probably never used that 10K GT to its full potential.

Also I bought a brand new Escort for $9,999 in 2002.

That's why there weren't "performance packages" that cost 15% of the car's base price like there is now.

In 1977, I bought a used '69 Mach 1 390 C6 for $900.

In 1976 I bought a 67 Camaro used for $900.00 now my 16 GT cost $30,000.00 I use 95% of it's twisty potential.

lol

I guess I'm with the general population of Mustang owners who only use the twisty potential of their car 5% of the time.

So did anyone ask the dealer about the spoiler issue? Or are we just sharing philosophies as to why it doesn't look like the picture ford put out?

... I bet that 1982 Mustang was a death trap and had interior rattles the second you drove off the lot.

Wrong, you lost the bet. What do I get?

The relevant points are $6,500 packages are huge for 40k cars, and 99% of people never race their cars. But heh, whatever floats your boat ...

(the "squeak free" '82 GT I had)

You could say a GT350 is a 25K Package on an Ecoboost as most people won't actually use that performance either. So why bother ever buying anything over base?

So what? These are option packages nobody is forcing anyone to buy them. I say kudos to Ford for stepping up their game and offering more performance to those that want it and are fine paying for it.

Yes, I could say that. But I prefer rational statements ..

So what? There are option packages, but not all make sense to 99% of buyers. I say buy what you want, maybe then it'll drop the price of the other more functional options that everyone looks for.

Ahh the people who aren't gonna use this or that perspective... My honest opinion... don't buy the car if you aren't going to have fun in it. I roasted all 4 corners of my P zeros in 8k miles using as much performance as I could...

I'm not following. You are saying that Ford should not allow performance pack options on the Mustang beacuse it's too confusing?

I'll be @ the Philly show next weekend. If there is a PP2 thre I'll ask what the deal with the spoiler is.

I wonder when ford will update the configurator online? You currently can not build a PP2 mustang online. Cmon ford...the cars are at dealers already.

That’s been an issue for months now... people are just going to their Dealer and placing the order...

Same as folks can’t upgrade to the PP 647 rims, but they’re also showing up on lots and can be upgraded via Dealer only.

Seems Ford is lacking in getting their IT folks up to speed for reconfiguring the online website ordering parameters.
